Description
Build your expertise in the BPF virtual machine in the Linux kernel with this practical guide. You'll learn to write applications that observe and modify the kernel's behavior, inject code to monitor, trace, and securely observe events in the kernel, and more. Authors David Calavera and Lorenzo Fontana help you harness the power of BPF to make any computing system more observable. Familiarize yourself with essential concepts you'll use on a day-to-day basis and gain a deeper understanding of performance optimization, networking, and security. The book includes code examples in C, Go, and Python. With this guide, you'll explore how to write applications that use BPF to observe and modify the Linux kernel's behavior on demand, inject code to monitor, trace, and observe events in the kernel securely, and more.
