From d055126180564a57fe533728a4e93d0cb53d49b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitrii Banshchikov Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2020 18:45:49 +0000 Subject: bpf: Add bpf_ktime_get_coarse_ns helper The helper uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE source of time that is less accurate but more performant. We have a BPF CGROUP_SKB firewall that supports event logging through bpf_perf_event_output(). Each event has a timestamp and currently we use bpf_ktime_get_ns() for it. Use of bpf_ktime_get_coarse_ns() saves ~15-20 ns in time required for event logging. bpf_ktime_get_ns(): EgressLogByRemoteEndpoint 113.82ns 8.79M bpf_ktime_get_coarse_ns(): EgressLogByRemoteEndpoint 95.40ns 10.48M Signed-off-by: Dmitrii Banshchikov Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20201117184549.257280-1-me@ubique.spb.ru --- include/linux/bpf.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'include/linux/bpf.h') diff --git a/include/linux/bpf.h b/include/linux/bpf.h index 581b2a2e78eb..e1bcb6d7345c 100644 --- a/include/linux/bpf.h +++ b/include/linux/bpf.h @@ -1842,6 +1842,7 @@ extern const struct bpf_func_proto bpf_copy_from_user_proto; extern const struct bpf_func_proto bpf_snprintf_btf_proto; extern const struct bpf_func_proto bpf_per_cpu_ptr_proto; extern const struct bpf_func_proto bpf_this_cpu_ptr_proto; +extern const struct bpf_func_proto bpf_ktime_get_coarse_ns_proto; const struct bpf_func_proto *bpf_tracing_func_proto( enum bpf_func_id func_id, const struct bpf_prog *prog); -- cgit v1.2.3
