Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one
global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes
only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system
performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).
Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
system compared to present kretprobe implementation.
Solution:
1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have
two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
lock for kretporbe object.
2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent
deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
lock.
3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
table.
Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.
