Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 2/9] bpf: Introduce global percpu data
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 22:51:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260608145113.65857-3-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260608145113.65857-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>
Introduce global percpu data, inspired by the commit
6316f78306c1 ("Merge branch 'support-global-data'"). It enables the
definition of global percpu variables in BPF, similar to the
include/linux/percpu-defs.h::DEFINE_PER_CPU() macro.
For example, in BPF, it is able to define a global percpu variable like:
int data SEC(".percpu");
With this patch, tools like retsnoop [1] and bpfsnoop [2] can simplify
their BPF code for handling LBRs. The code can be updated from
static struct perf_branch_entry lbrs[1][MAX_LBR_ENTRIES] SEC(".data.lbrs");
to
static struct perf_branch_entry lbrs[MAX_LBR_ENTRIES] SEC(".percpu.lbrs");
This eliminates the need to retrieve the CPU ID using the
bpf_get_smp_processor_id() helper.
Additionally, by reusing global percpu data map, sharing information
between tail callers and callees or freplace callers and callees becomes
simpler compared to reusing percpu_array maps.
