Add a benchmarks to demonstrate the performance cliff for local_storage
get as the number of local_storage maps increases beyond current
local_storage implementation's cache size.
"sequential get" and "interleaved get" benchmarks are added, both of
which do many bpf_task_storage_get calls on sets of task local_storage
maps of various counts, while considering a single specific map to be
'important' and counting task_storage_gets to the important map
separately in addition to normal 'hits' count of all gets. Goal here is
to mimic scenario where a particular program using one map - the
important one - is running on a system where many other local_storage
maps exist and are accessed often.
While "sequential get" benchmark does bpf_task_storage_get for map 0, 1,
..., {9, 99, 999} in order, "interleaved" benchmark interleaves 4
bpf_task_storage_gets for the important map for every 10 map gets. This
is meant to highlight performance differences when important map is
accessed far more frequently than non-important maps.
A "hashmap control" benchmark is also included for easy comparison of
standard bpf hashmap lookup vs local_storage get. The benchmark is
similar to "sequential get", but creates and uses BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH
instead of local storage. Only one inner map is created - a hashmap
meant to hold tid -> data mapping for all tasks. Size of the hashmap is
hardcoded to my system's PID_MAX_LIMIT (4,194,304). The number of these
keys which are actually fetched as part of the benchmark is
configurable.
Addition of this benchmark is inspired by conversation with Alexei in a
previous patchset's thread [0], which highlighted the need for such a
benchmark to motivate and validate improvements to local_storage
implementation. My approach in that series focused on improving
performance for explicitly-marked 'important' maps and was rejected
with feedback to make more generally-applicable improvements while
avoiding explicitly marking maps as important. Thus the benchmark
reports both general and important-map-focused metrics, so effect of
future work on both is clear.
Regarding the benchmark results. On a powerful system (Skylake, 20
cores, 256gb ram):

Looking at the "sequential get" results, it's clear that as the
number of task local_storage maps grows beyond the current cache size
(16), there's a significant reduction in hits throughput. Note that
current local_storage implementation assigns a cache_idx to maps as they
are created. Since "sequential get" is creating maps 0..n in order and
then doing bpf_task_storage_get calls in the same order, the benchmark
is effectively ensuring that a map will not be in cache when the program
tries to access it.
For "interleaved get" results, important-map hits throughput is greatly
increased as the important map is more likely to be in cache by virtue
of being accessed far more frequently. Throughput still reduces as #
maps increases, though.
To get a sense of the overhead of the benchmark program, I
commented out bpf_task_storage_get/bpf_map_lookup_elem in
local_storage_bench.c and ran the benchmark on the same host as the
'real' run. Results:

Adjusting for overhead, latency numbers for "hashmap control" and
"sequential get" are:
hashmap_control_1k: ~53.8ns
hashmap_control_10k: ~124.2ns
hashmap_control_100k: ~206.5ns
sequential_get_1: ~12.1ns
sequential_get_10: ~16.0ns
sequential_get_16: ~13.8ns
sequential_get_17: ~16.8ns
sequential_get_24: ~40.9ns
sequential_get_32: ~65.2ns
sequential_get_100: ~148.2ns
sequential_get_1000: ~2204ns
Clearly demonstrating a cliff.
In the discussion for v1 of this patch, Alexei noted that local_storage
was 2.5x faster than a large hashmap when initially implemented [1]. The
benchmark results show that local_storage is 5-10x faster: a
long-running BPF application putting some pid-specific info into a
hashmap for each pid it sees will probably see on the order of 10-100k
pids. Bench numbers for hashmaps of this size are ~10x slower than
sequential_get_16, but as the number of local_storage maps grows far
past local_storage cache size the performance advantage shrinks and
eventually reverses.
When running the benchmarks it may be necessary to bump 'open files'
ulimit for a successful run.
