perf-ebpf

The purpose of this repository is to showcase the use of eBPF on perf events using different dependencies. By no means is the list of selected dependencies exhaustive. Contributions showcasing the use of eBPF on perf events with new dependencies are welcome.

Dependencies

The table below lists dependencies that provide some kind of interaction with the API of the perf subsystem of the Linux kernel. More specialized and narrow dependencies that only implement a smaller subset of the perf subsystem API are not listed.

Use case

The perf subsystem of the Linux Kernel provides a very powerful and complex API. For comparission purposes each showcase should meet the following criteria:

• Use a sampling frequency of 99 Hz
• Call eBPF program on specific PID
• Call eBPF program on every CPU
