Martin KaFai Lau 3a5795b83d bpf: lru: Add map-in-map LRU example
This patch adds a map-in-map LRU example.
If we know only a subset of cores will use the
LRU, we can allocate a common LRU list per targeting core
and store it into an array-of-hashs.

It allows using the common LRU map with map-update performance
comparable to the BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU map but without wasting memory
on the unused cores that we know they will never access the LRU map.

BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU:
> map_perf_test 32 8 10000000 10000000 | awk '{sum += $3}END{print sum}'
9234314 (9.23M/s)

map-in-map LRU:
> map_perf_test 512 8 1260000 80000000 | awk '{sum += $3}END{print sum}'
9962743 (9.96M/s)

Notes that the max_entries for the map-in-map LRU test is 1260000 which
is the max_entries for each inner LRU map.  8 processes have been
started, so 8 * 1260000 = 10080000 (~10M) which is close to what is
used in the BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU test.

Martin KaFai Lau bf8db5d243 bpf: lru: Refactor LRU map tests in map_perf_test
One more LRU test will be added later in this patch series.
In this patch, we first move all existing LRU map tests into
a single syscall (connect) first so that the future new
LRU test can be added without hunting another syscall.

One of the map name is also changed from percpu_lru_hash_map
to nocommon_lru_hash_map to avoid the confusion with percpu_hash_map.

Notice that bpf_map_lookup_elem() and htab_map_lookup_elem() are trivial
functions, yet they take sizeable amount of cpu time.
htab_map_gen_lookup() removes bpf_map_lookup_elem() and converts
htab_map_lookup_elem() into three BPF insns which causing cpu time
for bpf_prog_da4fc6a3f41761a2() slightly increase.

array_map_gen_lookup() removes calls to array_map_lookup_elem()
and bpf_map_lookup_elem() and replaces them with 7 bpf insns.

The performance without JIT is slower, since executing extra insns
in the interpreter is slower than running native C code,
but with JIT the performance gains are obvious,
since native C->x86 code is replaced with fewer bpf->x86 instructions.

David Herrmann b8a943e294 samples/bpf: add lpm-trie benchmark
Extend the map_perf_test_{user,kern}.c infrastructure to stress test
lpm-trie lookups. We hook into the kprobe on sys_gettid() and measure
the latency depending on trie size and lookup count.

On my Intel Haswell i7-6400U, a single gettid() syscall with an empty
bpf program takes roughly 6.5us on my system. Lookups in empty tries
take ~1.8us on first try, ~0.9us on retries. Lookups in tries with 8192
entries take ~7.1us (on the first _and_ any subsequent try).

Martin KaFai Lau 5db58faf98 bpf: Add tests for the LRU bpf_htab
This patch has some unit tests and a test_lru_dist.

The test_lru_dist reads in the numeric keys from a file.
The files used here are generated by a modified fio-genzipf tool
originated from the fio test suit.  The sample data file can be
found here: https://github.com/iamkafai/bpf-lru

The zipf.* data files have 100k numeric keys and the key is also
ranged from 1 to 100k.

The test_lru_dist outputs the number of unique keys (nr_unique).
F.e. The following means, 61239 of them is unique out of 100k keys.
nr_misses means it cannot be found in the LRU map, so nr_misses
must be >= nr_unique. test_lru_dist also simulates a perfect LRU
map as a comparison:
