bpf: get rid of global verifier state and reuse instruction printer
This set started off as simple extraction of eBPF verifier's instruction
printer into a separate file but evolved into removal of global state.
The purpose of moving instruction printing code is to be able to reuse it
from the bpftool.
As far as the global verifier lock goes, this set removes the global
variables relating to the log buffer, makes the one-time init done
by bpf_get_skb_set_tunnel_proto() not depend on any external locking,
and performs verifier log writeback as data is produced removing the need
for allocating a potentially large temporary buffer.
The final step of actually removing the verifier lock is left to someone
more competent and self-confident :)
Note that struct bpf_verifier_env is just 40B under two pages now,
we should probably switch to vzalloc() when it's expanded again...
v2:
- add a selftest;
- use env buffer and flush on every print (Alexei);
- handle kernel log allocation failures (Daniel);
- put the env log members into a struct (Daniel).

Verifier log buffer can be quite large (up to 16MB currently).
As Eric Dumazet points out if we allow multiple verification
requests to proceed simultaneously, malicious user may use the
verifier as a way of allocating large amounts of unswappable
memory to OOM the host.
Switch to a strategy of allocating a smaller buffer (1024B)
and writing it out into the user buffer after every print.
While at it remove the old BUG_ON().
This is in preparation of the global verifier lock removal.

Intel® 100/200 Series Chipset platforms reduced the round-trip
latency for the LAN Controller DMA accesses, causing in some high
performance cases a buffer overrun while the I219 LAN Connected
Device is processing the DMA transactions. I219LM and I219V devices
can fall into unrecovered Tx hang under very stressfully UDP traffic
and multiple reconnection of Ethernet cable. This Tx hang of the LAN
Controller is only recovered if the system is rebooted. Slightly slow
down DMA access by reducing the number of outstanding requests.
This workaround could have an impact on TCP traffic performance
on the platform. Disabling TSO eliminates performance loss for TCP
traffic without a noticeable impact on CPU performance.

When e1000e_poll() is not fast enough to keep up with incoming traffic, the
adapter (when operating in msix mode) raises the Other interrupt to signal
Receiver Overrun.
This is a double problem because 1) at the moment e1000_msix_other()
assumes that it is only called in case of Link Status Change and 2) if the
condition persists, the interrupt is repeatedly raised again in quick
succession.
Ideally we would configure the Other interrupt to not be raised in case of
receiver overrun but this doesn't seem possible on this adapter. Instead,
we handle the first part of the problem by reverting to the practice of
reading ICR in the other interrupt handler, like before commit 16ecba59bc
("e1000e: Do not read ICR in Other interrupt"). Thanks to commit
0a8047ac68 ("e1000e: Fix msi-x interrupt automask") which cleared IAME
from CTRL_EXT, reading ICR doesn't interfere with RxQ0, TxQ0 interrupts
anymore. We handle the second part of the problem by not re-enabling the
Other interrupt right away when there is overrun. Instead, we wait until
traffic subsides, napi polling mode is exited and interrupts are
re-enabled.

Vhost-net has a hard limit on the number of zerocopy skbs in flight.
When reached, transmission stalls. Stalls cause latency, as well as
head-of-line blocking of other flows that do not use zerocopy.
Instead of stalling, revert to copy-based transmission.
Tested by sending two udp flows from guest to host, one with payload
of VHOST_GOODCOPY_LEN, the other too small for zerocopy (1B). The
large flow is redirected to a netem instance with 1MBps rate limit
and deep 1000 entry queue.
modprobe ifb
ip link set dev ifb0 up
tc qdisc add dev ifb0 root netem limit 1000 rate 1MBit
tc qdisc add dev tap0 ingress
tc filter add dev tap0 parent ffff: protocol ip \
u32 match ip dport 8000 0xffff \
action mirred egress redirect dev ifb0
Before the delay, both flows process around 80K pps. With the delay,
before this patch, both process around 400. After this patch, the
large flow is still rate limited, while the small reverts to its
original rate. See also discussion in the first link, below.
Without rate limiting, {1, 10, 100}x TCP_STREAM tests continued to
send at 100% zerocopy.
The limit in vhost_exceeds_maxpend must be carefully chosen. With
vq->num >> 1, the flows remain correlated. This value happens to
correspond to VHOST_MAX_PENDING for vq->num == 256. Allow smaller
fractions and ensure correctness also for much smaller values of
vq->num, by testing the min() of both explicitly. See also the
discussion in the second link below.
Changes
v1 -> v2
- replaced min with typed min_t
- avoid unnecessary whitespace change

Jake fixes missed flag conversion from u64 to u32. Fixes a deafult ITR
value issue where the driver defaults to an ITR value of half the
expected value (in terms of minimum microseconds between interrupts). So
fix this by changing the default values to be calculated using the
ITR_REG_TO_USEC() macro which indicates that we are converting from the
register units into microseconds. Updates the drivers to bump the tail in
increments of 8 and double the number of descriptors we will bundle into
one tail bump when receiving. With the recent kernel support for
enabling XPS and QoS at the same time, we no longer need to worry about
the number of traffic classes when enabling XPS.
Lihong converts the use of hash_for_each() to hash_for_each_safe() to
safely remove a hash entry. Adds a check for the return value for
find_first_bit() in the case that it returns the size passed to search.
Alan fixes a bug in which filters are erroneously removed if they are
removed and then added again. So make sure that when adding a filter, if
we find it already existed in our list, make sure it is not marked to be
removed.

Double the number of descriptors we'll bundle into one tail bump when
receiving. Empirical testing has shown that we reduce CPU utilization
and don't appear to reduce throughput or packet rate. 32 seems to be the
sweet spot, as it's half the default polling budget, so we'd essentially
reduce from 4 tail writes when polling down to 2. Increasing this up to
64 appears to have negative impacts as it may become possible that we
don't bump the tail each time we get polled, which could cause a long
delay between returning descriptors to the hardware.

Hardware only fetches descriptors on cachelines of 8, essentially
ignoring the lower 3 bits of the tail register. Thus, it is pointless to
bump tail by an unaligned access as the hardware will ignore some of the
new descriptors we allocated. Thus, it's ideal if we can ensure tail
writes are always aligned to 8.
At first, it seems like we'd already do this, since we allocate
descriptors in batches which are a multiple of 8. Since we'd always
increment by a multiple of 8, it seems like the value should always be
aligned.
However, this ignores allocation failures. If we fail to allocate
a buffer, our tail register will become unaligned. Once it has become
unaligned it will essentially be stuck unaligned until a buffer
allocation happens to fail at the exact amount necessary to re-align it.
We can do better, by simply rounding down the number of buffers we're
about to allocate (cleaned_count) such that "next_to_clean
+ cleaned_count" is rounded to the nearest multiple of 8.
We do this by calculating how far off that value is and subtracting it
from the cleaned_count. This essentially defers allocation of buffers if
they're going to be ignored by hardware anyways, and re-aligns our
next_to_use and tail values after a failure to allocate a descriptor.
This calculation ensures that we always align the tail writes in a way
the hardware expects and don't unnecessarily allocate buffers which
won't be fetched immediately.

The lrxq thresh value tells hardware to immediately interrupt when there
are fewer than N*64 packets left in the ring.
Counter intuitively, empirical testing has shown that decreasing this
value from 2 to 1, and thus changing from an immediate interrupt at
fewer than 128 descriptors down to 64 descriptors causes a small
increase in the maximum total packets per second we can receive. This
increase occurs even when we're polling with interrupts masked, as the
hardware must still handle interrupts internally even if we've disabled
them in software.
Also reduce the value for any VFs we allocate.

re-enabling interrupts. This change was motivated by the flawed belief
that clearing the PBA would cause a lost interrupt if a receive
interrupt occurred while interrupts were disabled.
According to empirical testing this isn't the case. Additionally, the
data sheet specifically says that we should set the CLEARPBA bit when
re-enabling interrupts in a polling setup.
This reverts commit 40d72a5098 ("i40e/i40evf: don't lose interrupts")
