The motivation of inlining bpf_kptr_xchg() comes from the performance profiling of bpf memory allocator benchmark. The benchmark uses bpf_kptr_xchg() to stash the allocated objects and to pop the stashed objects for free. After inling bpf_kptr_xchg(), the performance for object free on 8-CPUs VM increases about 2%~10%. The inline also has downside: both the kasan and kcsan checks on the pointer will be unavailable. bpf_kptr_xchg() can be inlined by converting the calling of bpf_kptr_xchg() into an atomic_xchg() instruction. But the conversion depends on two conditions: 1) JIT backend supports atomic_xchg() on pointer-sized word 2) For the specific arch, the implementation of xchg is the same as atomic_xchg() on pointer-sized words. It seems most 64-bit JIT backends satisfies these two conditions. But as a precaution, defining a weak function bpf_jit_supports_ptr_xchg() to state whether such conversion is safe and only supporting inline for 64-bit host. For x86-64, it supports BPF_XCHG atomic operation and both xchg() and atomic_xchg() use arch_xchg() to implement the exchange, so enabling the inline of bpf_kptr_xchg() on x86-64 first.
