The test_overhead bpf program is designed to compare performance
between tracepoint and kprobe. Initially it used task_rename and
urandom_read tracepoint.
However, commit 14c174633f ("random: remove unused tracepoints")
removed urandom_read tracepoint, and for this reason the test_overhead
got broken.
This commit introduces new microbenchmark using fib_table_lookup.
This microbenchmark sends UDP packets to localhost in order to invoke
fib_table_lookup.
In a nutshell:
fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);
addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(DUMMY_IP);
addr.sin_port = htons(DUMMY_PORT);
for() {
sendto(fd, buf, strlen(buf), 0,
(struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
}
on 4 cpus in parallel:
lookup per sec
base (no tracepoints, no kprobes) 381k
with kprobe at fib_table_lookup() 325k
with tracepoint at fib:fib_table_lookup 330k
with raw_tracepoint at fib:fib_table_lookup 365k
Fixes: 14c174633f ("random: remove unused tracepoints")
