    bpf: add hashtable type of eBPF maps · 0f8e4bd8
    Alexei Starovoitov 提交于
    add new map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH and its implementation
    
    - maps are created/destroyed by userspace. Both userspace and eBPF programs
      can lookup/update/delete elements from the map
    
    - eBPF programs can be called in_irq(), so use spin_lock_irqsave() mechanism
      for concurrent updates
    
    - key/value are opaque range of bytes (aligned to 8 bytes)
    
    - user space provides 3 configuration attributes via BPF syscall:
      key_size, value_size, max_entries
    
    - map takes care of allocating/freeing key/value pairs
    
    - map_update_elem() must fail to insert new element when max_entries
      limit is reached to make sure that eBPF programs cannot exhaust memory
    
    - map_update_elem() replaces elements in an atomic way
    
    - optimized for speed of lookup() which can be called multiple times from
      eBPF program which itself is triggered by high volume of events
      . in the future JIT compiler may recognize lookup() call and optimize it
        further, since key_size is constant for life of eBPF program
