Tracing BPF programs can attach to kprobe and fentry. Hence they run in unknown context where calling plain kmalloc() might not be safe. Front-end kmalloc() with minimal per-cpu cache of free elements. Refill this cache asynchronously from irq_work. BPF programs always run with migration disabled. It's safe to allocate from cache of the current cpu with irqs disabled. Free-ing is always done into bucket of the current cpu as well. irq_work trims extra free elements from buckets with kfree and refills them with kmalloc, so global kmalloc logic takes care of freeing objects allocated by one cpu and freed on another. struct bpf_mem_alloc supports two modes: - When size != 0 create kmem_cache and bpf_mem_cache for each cpu. This is typical bpf hash map use case when all elements have equal size. - When size == 0 allocate 11 bpf_mem_cache-s for each cpu, then rely on kmalloc/kfree. Max allocation size is 4096 in this case. This is bpf_dynptr and bpf_kptr use case. bpf_mem_alloc/bpf_mem_free are bpf specific 'wrappers' of kmalloc/kfree. bpf_mem_cache_alloc/bpf_mem_cache_free are 'wrappers' of kmem_cache_alloc/kmem_cache_free. The allocators are NMI-safe from bpf programs only. They are not NMI-safe in general.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
