bpf: Allow selecting numa node during map creation
The current map creation API does not allow to provide the numa-node preference. The memory usually comes from where the map-creation-process is running. The performance is not ideal if the bpf_prog is known to always run in a numa node different from the map-creation-process. One of the use case is sharding on CPU to different LRU maps (i.e. an array of LRU maps). Here is the test result of map_perf_test on the INNER_LRU_HASH_PREALLOC test if we force the lru map used by CPU0 to be allocated from a remote numa node: [ The machine has 20 cores. CPU0-9 at node 0. CPU10-19 at node 1 ] ># taskset -c 10 ./map_perf_test 512 8 1260000 8000000 5:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1628380 events per sec 4:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1626396 events per sec 3:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1626144 events per sec 6:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1621657 events per sec 2:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1621534 events per sec 1:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1620292 events per sec 7:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1613305 events per sec 0:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1239150 events per sec #<<< After specifying numa node: ># taskset -c 10 ./map_perf_test 512 8 1260000 8000000 5:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1629627 events per sec 3:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1628057 events per sec 1:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1623054 events per sec 6:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1616033 events per sec 2:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1614630 events per sec 4:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1612651 events per sec 7:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1609337 events per sec 0:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1619340 events per sec #<<< This patch adds one field, numa_node, to the bpf_attr. Since numa node 0 is a valid node, a new flag BPF_F_NUMA_NODE is also added. The numa_node field is honored if and only if the BPF_F_NUMA_NODE flag is set. Numa node selection is not supported for percpu map. This patch does not change all the kmalloc. F.e. 'htab = kzalloc()' is not changed since the object is small enough to stay in the cache.
