bpf: Disable GCC -fgcse optimization for ___bpf_prog_run()
On x86-64, with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n, GCC's "global common subexpression
elimination" optimization results in ___bpf_prog_run()'s jumptable code
changing from this:
select_insn:
jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8)
...
ALU64_ADD_X:
...
jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8)
ALU_ADD_X:
...
jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8)
to this:
select_insn:
mov jumptable, %r12
jmp *(%r12, %rax, 8)
...
ALU64_ADD_X:
...
jmp *(%r12, %rax, 8)
ALU_ADD_X:
...
jmp *(%r12, %rax, 8)
The jumptable address is placed in a register once, at the beginning of
the function. The function execution can then go through multiple
indirect jumps which rely on that same register value. This has a few
issues:
1) Objtool isn't smart enough to be able to track such a register value
across multiple recursive indirect jumps through the jump table.
2) With CONFIG_RETPOLINE enabled, this optimization actually results in
a small slowdown. I measured a ~4.7% slowdown in the test_bpf
"tcpdump port 22" selftest.
This slowdown is actually predicted by the GCC manual:
Note: When compiling a program using computed gotos, a GCC
extension, you may get better run-time performance if you
disable the global common subexpression elimination pass by
adding -fno-gcse to the command line.
So just disable the optimization for this function.
