The History of eBPF
eBPF is an extension of Berkeley packet filtering, BPF. The e came about largely because the instruction set was rewritten to be much more capable. It can now attach these programs to pretty much any event that happens across not just the kernel but also user space. And we can use those programs to react to events, observe those events, and potentially even change the way the kernel is behaving.
