$ map_perf_test 128
speed of HASH bpf_map_lookup_elem() in lookups per second
	w/o JIT		w/JIT
before	46M		58M
after	42M		74M

     1.49%  map_perf_test  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] kprobe_ftrace_handler

after:
    60.03%  map_perf_test  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __htab_map_lookup_elem
    18.07%  map_perf_test  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] lookup_elem_raw

     1.72%  map_perf_test  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] kprobe_ftrace_handler

Notice that bpf_map_lookup_elem() and htab_map_lookup_elem() are trivial
functions, yet they take sizeable amount of cpu time.
htab_map_gen_lookup() removes bpf_map_lookup_elem() and converts
htab_map_lookup_elem() into three BPF insns which causing cpu time
for bpf_prog_da4fc6a3f41761a2() slightly increase.

$ map_perf_test 256
speed of ARRAY bpf_map_lookup_elem() in lookups per second
	w/o JIT		w/JIT
before	97M		174M
after	64M		280M

before:
    37.33%  map_perf_test  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] array_map_lookup_elem
    13.95%  map_perf_test  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] bpf_map_lookup_elem
     6.54%  map_perf_test  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] bpf_prog_da4fc6a3f41761a2
     4.57%  map_perf_test  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] kprobe_ftrace_handler

after:
    32.86%  map_perf_test  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] bpf_prog_da4fc6a3f41761a2
     6.54%  map_perf_test  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] kprobe_ftrace_handler

array_map_gen_lookup() removes calls to array_map_lookup_elem()
and bpf_map_lookup_elem() and replaces them with 7 bpf insns.

The performance without JIT is slower, since executing extra insns
in the interpreter is slower than running native C code,
but with JIT the performance gains are obvious,
since native C->x86 code is replaced with fewer bpf->x86 instructions.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
