From e1608f3fa857b600045b6df7f7dadc70eeaa4496 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2019 23:29:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Avoid setting bpf insns pages read-only when prog is jited For the case where the interpreter is compiled out or when the prog is jited it is completely unnecessary to set the BPF insn pages as read-only. In fact, on frequent churn of BPF programs, it could lead to performance degradation of the system over time since it would break the direct map down to 4k pages when calling set_memory_ro() for the insn buffer on x86-64 / arm64 and there is no reverse operation. Thus, avoid breaking up large pages for data maps, and only limit this to the module range used by the JIT where it is necessary to set the image read-only and executable.
