Mastering eBPF and XDP Development

This chapter explores the tools and libraries available for programming with eBPF and XDP, emphasizing the importance of leveraging existing resources and programming languages like Rust, Golang, and C. It details the compilation process with a focus on safety checks and verification layers that protect the Linux kernel from harmful programs. Additionally, the chapter highlights the dynamic capabilities of eBPF in real-time applications, particularly in performance monitoring and system call control without interrupting services.
