powerpc64/bpf: Support internal-only MOV instruction to resolve per-CPU addrs

Browse source

With the introduction of commit 7bdbf74463 ("bpf: add special
internal-only MOV instruction to resolve per-CPU addrs"),
a new BPF instruction BPF_MOV64_PERCPU_REG has been added to
resolve absolute addresses of per-CPU data from their per-CPU
offsets. This update requires enabling support for this
instruction in the powerpc JIT compiler.

As of commit 7a0268fa1a ("[PATCH] powerpc/64: per cpu data
optimisations"), the per-CPU data offset for the CPU is stored in
the paca.

To support this BPF instruction in the powerpc JIT, the following
powerpc instructions are emitted:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SMP))
ld tmp1_reg, 48(13)		//Load per-CPU data offset from paca(r13) in tmp1_reg.
add dst_reg, src_reg, tmp1_reg	//Add the per cpu offset to the dst.
else if (src_reg != dst_reg)
mr dst_reg, src_reg		//Move src_reg to dst_reg, if src_reg != dst_reg

To evaluate the performance improvements introduced by this change,
the benchmark described in [1] was employed.

Before Change:
glob-arr-inc   :   41.580 ± 0.034M/s
arr-inc        :   39.592 ± 0.055M/s
hash-inc       :   25.873 ± 0.012M/s

After Change:
glob-arr-inc   :   42.024 ± 0.049M/s
arr-inc        :   55.447 ± 0.031M/s
hash-inc       :   26.565 ± 0.014M/s
