bpf helper functions from kernel module

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

>From https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2019/04/15/an-ebpf-overview-part-2-machine-and-bytecode/
"The BPF-accesible kernel "helper" functions are defined by the kernel
core (not extensible through modules) via an API similar to defining
syscalls"

Has there been interest/discussion around having helper functions from
kernel modules?  Going through the code, I am guessing one of the
obstacles is to have the verifier checking against helper functions
that may or may not be available but I am not an expert of the
subsystem.  What are the current opinions on having helper functions
from kernel modules?

Regards,
Kenny Ho
