Debugging the BPF Virtual Machine Lorenzo Fontana October 28, 2020 ● Debugging is useful to understand how things work ● Sometimes, eBPF programs can’t even load ● I couldn’t find good resources on this this, so, here I am ● I break lots of eBPF programs ● The BPF Virtual machine is not easy to understand Why ? The BPF subsystem lives in the kernel AND The kernel can be debugged using gdb The
