net: optimize Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) processing
Gcc is currenlty not in the ability to optimize the switch statement in
sk_run_filter() because of dense case labels. This patch replace the
OR'd labels with ordered sequenced case labels. The sk_chk_filter()
function is modified to patch/replace the original OPCODES in a
ordered but equivalent form. gcc is now in the ability to transform the
switch statement in sk_run_filter into a jump table of complexity O(1).
Until this patch gcc generates a sequence of conditional branches (O(n) of 567
byte .text segment size (arch x86_64):
7ff: 8b 06 mov (%rsi),%eax
801: 66 83 f8 35 cmp $0x35,%ax
805: 0f 84 d0 02 00 00 je adb <sk_run_filter+0x31d>
80b: 0f 87 07 01 00 00 ja 918 <sk_run_filter+0x15a>
811: 66 83 f8 15 cmp $0x15,%ax
815: 0f 84 c5 02 00 00 je ae0 <sk_run_filter+0x322>
81b: 77 73 ja 890 <sk_run_filter+0xd2>
81d: 66 83 f8 04 cmp $0x4,%ax
821: 0f 84 17 02 00 00 je a3e <sk_run_filter+0x280>
827: 77 29 ja 852 <sk_run_filter+0x94>
829: 66 83 f8 01 cmp $0x1,%ax
[...]
With the modification the compiler translate the switch statement into
the following jump table fragment:
7ff: 66 83 3e 2c cmpw $0x2c,(%rsi)
803: 0f 87 1f 02 00 00 ja a28 <sk_run_filter+0x26a>
809: 0f b7 06 movzwl (%rsi),%eax
80c: ff 24 c5 00 00 00 00 jmpq *0x0(,%rax,8)
813: 44 89 e3 mov %r12d,%ebx
816: e9 43 03 00 00 jmpq b5e <sk_run_filter+0x3a0>
81b: 41 89 dc mov %ebx,%r12d
81e: e9 3b 03 00 00 jmpq b5e <sk_run_filter+0x3a0>
Furthermore, I reordered the instructions to reduce cache line misses by
order the most common instruction to the start.
