Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== bench: fast in-kernel triggering benchmarks Remove "legacy" triggering benchmarks which rely on syscalls (and thus syscall overhead is a noticeable part of benchmark, unfortunately). Replace them with faster versions that rely on triggering BPF programs in-kernel through another simple "driver" BPF program. See patch #2 with comparison results. raw_tp/tp/fmodret benchmarks required adding a simple kfunc in kernel to be able to trigger a simple tracepoint from BPF program (plus it is also allowed to be replaced by fmod_ret programs). This limits raw_tp/tp/fmodret benchmarks to new kernels only, but it keeps bench tool itself very portable and most of other benchmarks will still work on wide variety of kernels without the need to worry about building and deploying custom kernel module. See patches #5 and #6 for details. v1->v2: - move new TP closer to BPF test run code; - rename/move kfunc and register it for fmod_rets (Alexei); - limit --trig-batch-iters param to [1, 1000] (Alexei). ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240326162151.3981687-1-andrii@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
