2b71e2c7b5 netfilter: nft_set_pipapo_avx2: remove redundant pointer lt
The pointer lt is being assigned a value and then later
updated but that value is never read. The pointer is
redundant and can be removed.

b7e945e228 nft_set_pipapo: Fix bucket load in AVX2 lookup routine for six 8-bit groups
The sixth byte of packet data has to be looked up in the sixth group,
not in the seventh one, even if we load the bucket data into ymm6
(and not ymm5, for convenience of tracking stalls).

Without this fix, matching on a MAC address as first field of a set,
if 8-bit groups are selected (due to a small set size) would fail,
that is, the given MAC address would never match.

a58db7ad80 netfilter: nft_set_pipapo_avx2: Skip LDMXCSR, we don't need a valid MXCSR state
We don't need a valid MXCSR state for the lookup routines, none of
the instructions we use rely on or affect any bit in the MXCSR
register.

Instead of calling kernel_fpu_begin(), we can pass 0 as mask to
kernel_fpu_begin_mask() and spare one LDMXCSR instruction.

Commit 49200d17d2 ("x86/fpu/64: Don't FNINIT in kernel_fpu_begin()")
already speeds up lookups considerably, and by dropping the MCXSR
initialisation we can now get a much smaller, but measurable, increase
in matching rates.

The table below reports matching rates and a wild approximation of
clock cycles needed for a match in a "port,net" test with 10 entries
from selftests/netfilter/nft_concat_range.sh, limited to the first
field, i.e. the port (with nft_set_rbtree initialisation skipped), run
on a single AMD Epyc 7351 thread (2.9GHz, 512 KiB L1D$, 8 MiB L2$).

The (very rough) estimation of clock cycles is obtained by simply
dividing frequency by matching rate. The "cycles spared" column refers
to the difference in cycles compared to the previous row, and the rate
increase also refers to the previous row. Results are averages of six
runs.

Merely for context, I'm also reporting packet rates obtained by
skipping kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() altogether (which
shows a very limited impact now), as well as skipping the whole lookup
function, compared to simply counting and dropping all packets using
the netdev hook drop (see nft_concat_range.sh for details). This
workload also includes packet generation with pktgen and the receive
path of veth.

The clock cycles spared by avoiding LDMXCSR appear to be in line with CPI
and latency indicated in the manuals of comparable architectures: Intel
Skylake (CPI: 1, latency: 7) and AMD 12h (latency: 12) -- I couldn't find
this information for AMD 17h.

that is, nft_pipapo_avx2_lookup() uses the FPU running from a softirq
that interrupted a kthread, also using the FPU.

That's exactly the reason why irq_fpu_usable() is there: use it, and
if we can't use the FPU, fall back to the non-AVX2 version of the
lookup operation, i.e. nft_pipapo_lookup().

eb16933aa5 nft_set_pipapo: Prepare for single ranged field usage
A few adjustments in nft_pipapo_init() are needed to allow usage of
this set back-end for a single, ranged field.

Provide a convenient NFT_PIPAPO_MIN_FIELDS definition that currently
makes sure that the rbtree back-end is selected instead, for sets
with a single field.

This finally allows a fair comparison with rbtree sets, by defining
NFT_PIPAPO_MIN_FIELDS as 0 and skipping rbtree back-end initialisation:

If the AVX2 set is available, we can exploit the repetitive
characteristic of this algorithm to provide a fast, vectorised
version by using 256-bit wide AVX2 operations for bucket loads and
bitwise intersections.

In most cases, this implementation consistently outperforms rbtree
set instances despite the fact they are configured to use a given,
single, ranged data type out of the ones used for performance
measurements by the nft_concat_range.sh kselftest.

That script, injecting packets directly on the ingoing device path
with pktgen, reports, averaged over five runs on a single AMD Epyc
7402 thread (3.35GHz, 768 KiB L1D$, 12 MiB L2$), the figures below.
CONFIG_RETPOLINE was not set here.

Note that this is not a fair comparison over hash and rbtree set
types: non-ranged entries (used to have a reference for hash types)
would be matched faster than this, and matching on a single field
only (which is the case for rbtree) is also significantly faster.

However, it's not possible at the moment to choose this set type
for non-ranged entries, and the current implementation also needs
a few minor adjustments in order to match on less than two fields.

A similar strategy could be easily reused to implement specialised
versions for other SIMD sets, and I plan to post at least a NEON
version at a later time.
