80% of the overhead comes from cachemisses here:

ffffffff804b9bc6:       78 	44 39 68 2c          	cmp    %r13d,0x2c(%rax)
ffffffff804b9bca:        4 	0f 18 09             	prefetcht0 (%rcx)

ffffffff804b9bcf:   139502 	eb bd                	jmp    ffffffff804b9b8e <__inet_lookup_established+0x7c>

corresponding to:

(gdb) list *0xffffffff804b9bc6
0xffffffff804b9bc6 is in __inet_lookup_established (net/ipv4/inet_hashtables.c:237).
232		rwlock_t *lock = inet_ehash_lockp(hashinfo, hash);
233	
234		prefetch(head->chain.first);
235		read_lock(lock);
236		sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) {
237			if (INET_MATCH(sk, net, hash, acookie,
238						saddr, daddr, ports, dif))
239				goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */
240		}
241	

Seeing the first hard cachemiss on hash lookups is a familiar and 
partly expected pattern - it is the first thing that touches 
cache-cold data structures.

Seeing 1.4% of the totaly tbench overhead go into this single 
cachemiss is a bit surprising to me though: tbench works via 
long-lived connections (TCP establish costs and nowhere to be seen in 
the profiles) so the socket hash should be relatively stable and 
read-mostly on most CPUs in theory. The CPUs here have 2MB of L2 cache 
per socket.

Could we be somehow dirtying these cachelines perhaps, causing 
unnecessary cachemisses in hash lookups? Is the hash linkage portion 
of the socket data structure frequently dirtied? Padding that to 64 
bytes (or next to 64 bytes worth of read-mostly fields) could perhaps 
give us a +1.7% tbench speedup.
