A Speakeasy Productions studio filmed and published a documentary titled "eBPF: Unlocking the Kernel" available to the public, narrating the story of the creation of the eBPF subsystem in the Linux kernel. eBPF provides a kernel-integrated bytecode interpreter with JIT, enabling the dynamic modification of system behavior through user-space loadable handlers without the need to alter the kernel code, allowing for the addition of efficient handlers without complicating the system itself. Among other things, eBPF can be used to create handlers for network operations, manage bandwidth, control access, monitor system performance, and perform tracing.
