Red-black trees for BPF programs lwn.net/SubscriberLink…

bpftrace v0.17.0 released github.com/iovisor/bpftra…

New blog post for those who are curious about performance of BPF programs: erthalion.info/2022/12/30/bpf… We talk about topics like Instructions Set versions, Top-Down for BPF and simple modeling.

I just finished reading @lizrice's "What is #eBPF?", an easy-to-read introduction to eBPF for non-sysadmins (like me) isovalent.com/data/liz-rice-… It got me interested in trying to get my hands dirty as I'm a learning-by-doing guy

Tejun Heo proposed a "BPF extensible scheduler class" for the #Linux #kernel's process scheduler which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as #BPF (aka #eBPF) programs: @kernel.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">lore.kernel.org/all/2022113008…

Trying out Python 3.12's support for Linux #perf (#perf-profiling" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.python.org/3.12/howto/per…), along with JIT compiled C++ code and CLING_PROFILE=1 from ROOT to make it more fun. See full flamegraph at cern.ch/amadio/flamegr….

@andrewbrown I can't remember how many times I've compiled MySQL or another app in a certain (more debuggable) way, populated a database, tried a workload, no another workload, no another...just for one tool screenshot!

Kill program that access to /tmp/secret.txt #eBPF bpftrace --unsafe -e 'tracepoint:syscalls:sys_enter_openat { if (strncmp("/tmp/secret.txt", str(args->filename), 15) == 0) { signal(9); }}'

More @HarfBuzz study: "The case of the slow hb-ft h_advance function" docs.google.com/document/d/1ws… I investigate why measuring the horizontal advance-width of glyphs via FreeType font-functions in HarfBuzz is ten times slower than using the internal HarfBuzz font-functions.
