• [$] BPF in the agentic era

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Thu Jun 4 06:40:09 2026


    Alexei Starovoitov gave "less of a presentation, more of a scream of realization" at the BPF track of the 2026

    Linux Storage, Filesystem,
    Memory-Management, and BPF Summit. He shared a set of ideas for how BPF could change to avoid being swept away by the sea-change in programming represented by modern
    large language models (LLMs) and the coding agents based on them.
    In a follow-up session, the discussion covered
    more problems with how coding agents use tools like bpftrace, and the current deluge of
    patches in need of review in the BPF subsystem.
