>>Linux kernel developers quickly come to the same conclusion the DTrace people came to 15 years ago: if you're going to have a compiler and a kernel-resident VM, you might as well use it for everything. So, the seccomp system call filter gets eBPF. Kprobes get eBPF. Kernel tracepoints gets eBPF. Userland tracing gets eBPF. If it's in the Linux kernel and it's going to be programmable (even if it shouldn't be), it's going to be programmed with eBPF soon. Feels like Oprah Winfrey's September 13th, 2004 show: "YOU get a car! YOU get a car! And YOU get a car! Everybody gets a car!"[1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pviYWzu0dzk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pviYWzu0dzk
