The JIT compiler emits ia32 bit instructions. Currently, It supports eBPF
only. Classic BPF is supported because of the conversion by BPF core.
Almost all instructions from eBPF ISA supported except the following:
BPF_ALU64 | BPF_DIV | BPF_K
BPF_ALU64 | BPF_DIV | BPF_X
BPF_ALU64 | BPF_MOD | BPF_K
BPF_ALU64 | BPF_MOD | BPF_X
BPF_STX | BPF_XADD | BPF_W
BPF_STX | BPF_XADD | BPF_DW
It doesn't support BPF_JMP|BPF_CALL with BPF_PSEUDO_CALL at the moment.
IA32 has few general purpose registers, EAX|EDX|ECX|EBX|ESI|EDI. I use
EAX|EDX|ECX|EBX as temporary registers to simulate instructions in eBPF
ISA, and allocate ESI|EDI to BPF_REG_AX for constant blinding, all others
eBPF registers, R0-R10, are simulated through scratch space on stack.
The reasons behind the hardware registers allocation policy are:
1:MUL need EAX:EDX, shift operation need ECX, so they aren't fit
for general eBPF 64bit register simulation.
2:We need at least 4 registers to simulate most eBPF ISA operations
on registers operands instead of on register&memory operands.
3:We need to put BPF_REG_AX on hardware registers, or constant blinding
will degrade jit performance heavily.
Tested on PC (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU).
Testing results on i5-5200U:
1) test_bpf: Summary: 349 PASSED, 0 FAILED, [319/341 JIT'ed]
2) test_progs: Summary: 83 PASSED, 0 FAILED.
3) test_lpm: OK
4) test_lru_map: OK
5) test_verifier: Summary: 828 PASSED, 0 FAILED.
Above tests are all done in following two conditions separately:
1:bpf_jit_enable=1 and bpf_jit_harden=0
2:bpf_jit_enable=1 and bpf_jit_harden=2
Below are some numbers for this jit implementation:
Note:
I run test_progs in kselftest 100 times continuously for every condition,
the numbers are in format: total/times=avg.
The numbers that test_bpf reports show almost the same relation.
a:jit_enable=0 and jit_harden=0 b:jit_enable=1 and jit_harden=0
test_pkt_access:PASS:ipv4:15622/100=156 test_pkt_access:PASS:ipv4:10674/100=106
test_pkt_access:PASS:ipv6:9130/100=91 test_pkt_access:PASS:ipv6:4855/100=48

test_l4lb:PASS:ipv4:38924/100=389
test_l4lb:PASS:ipv6:57520/100=575
The numbers show we get 30%~50% improvement.

Changelog:
Changes v5-v6:
1:Add do {} while (0) to RETPOLINE_RAX_BPF_JIT for
consistence reason.
2:Clean up non-standard comments, reported by Daniel Borkmann.
3:Fix a memory leak issue, repoted by Daniel Borkmann.
Changes v4-v5:
1:Delete is_on_stack, BPF_REG_AX is the only one
on real hardware registers, so just check with
it.
2:Apply commit 1612a981b7 ("bpf, x64: fix JIT emission
for dead code"), suggested by Daniel Borkmann.
Changes v3-v4:
1:Fix changelog in commit.
I install llvm-6.0, then test_progs willn't report errors.
I submit another patch:
"bpf: fix misaligned access for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type on x86_32 platform"
to fix another problem, after that patch, test_verifier willn't report errors too.
2:Fix clear r0[1] twice unnecessarily in *BPF_IND|BPF_ABS* simulation.
Changes v2-v3:
1:Move BPF_REG_AX to real hardware registers for performance reason.
3:Using bpf_load_pointer instead of bpf_jit32.S, suggested by Daniel Borkmann.
4:Delete partial codes in 1c2a088a66, suggested by Daniel Borkmann.
5:Some bug fixes and comments improvement.
Changes v1-v2:
1:Fix bug in emit_ia32_neg64.
2:Fix bug in emit_ia32_arsh_r64.
3:Delete filename in top level comment, suggested by Thomas Gleixner.
4:Delete unnecessary boiler plate text, suggested by Thomas Gleixner.
5:Rewrite some words in changelog.
6:CodingSytle improvement and a little more comments.
