Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== Inline bpf_get_branch_snapshot() BPF helper Implement inlining of bpf_get_branch_snapshot() BPF helper using generic BPF assembly approach. This allows to reduce LBR record usage right before LBR records are captured from inside BPF program. See v1 cover letter ([0]) for some visual examples. I dropped them from v2 because there are multiple independent changes landing and being reviewed, all of which remove different parts of LBR record waste, so presenting final state of LBR "waste" gets more complicated until all of the pieces land. [0] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20240321180501.734779-1-andrii@kernel.org/ v2->v3: - fix BPF_MUL instruction definition; v1->v2: - inlining of bpf_get_smp_processor_id() split out into a separate patch set implementing internal per-CPU BPF instruction; - add efficient divide-by-24 through multiplication logic, and leave comments to explain the idea behind it; this way inlined version of bpf_get_branch_snapshot() has no compromises compared to non-inlined version of the helper (Alexei). ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240404002640.1774210-1-andrii@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
