How Do I Profile eBPF Code?

一句话概要

If we are running any eBPF workload or writing eBPF code, we want to measure its performance impact, and in this post we will demonstrate an example of how to do it. In this example, our goal is to measure the performance of file open operations, one of the most critical functions in the OS.

In this example, our goal is to measure the performance of file open operations, one of the most critical functions in the OS. Our code used file open hooks in eBPF, we wanted to measure the performance overhead introduced by adding this hook.

To identify likely bottlenecks, we need a simple C test harness with the fewest dependencies, designed to measure file open performance.

#define _GNU_SOURCE #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sched.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> static inline uint64_t now_ns ( void ) { struct timespec ts; clock_gettime (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, & ts); /* VDSO, no syscall / return ( uint64_t )ts.tv_sec * 1000000000ull + ts.tv_nsec; } int main ( int argc, char ** argv) { const char * path = argv[ 1 ]; uint64_t n = strtoull (argv[ 2 ], NULL, 10 ); uint64_t warm = n / 10 ; / preallocate + prefault + lock: no page faults in the loop */ uint32_t * d = mmap (NULL, n * sizeof ( uint32_t ), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_POPULATE, - 1 , 0 ); …
