![]() add new map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY and its implementation - optimized for fastest possible lookup() . in the future verifier/JIT may recognize lookup() with constant key and optimize it into constant pointer. Can optimize non-constant key into direct pointer arithmetic as well, since pointers and value_size are constant for the life of the eBPF program. In other words array_map_lookup_elem() may be 'inlined' by verifier/JIT while preserving concurrent access to this map from user space - two main use cases for array type: . 'global' eBPF variables: array of 1 element with key=0 and value is a collection of 'global' variables which programs can use to keep the state between events . aggregation of tracing events into fixed set of buckets - all array elements pre-allocated and zero initialized at init time - key as an index in array and can only be 4 byte - map_delete_elem() returns EINVAL, since elements cannot be deleted - map_update_elem() replaces elements in an non-atomic way (for atomic updates hashtable type should be used instead) Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
