BPF Portability and CO-Re (Compile Once Run Everywhere) (facebookmicrosites.github.io) 29 points by nyellin 5y ago ↗ HN
[–] isaachawley 5y ago ↗ This looks great. The lack of portability was a huge negative when I was considering BPF a few months ago. [–] rurban 5y ago ↗ It's still a huge problem. Only dTrace runs everywhere: BSD, Solaris, Mac, windows, Linux. BPF only runs on Linux.In userspace everybody has dTrace probes, nobody has bpf/stap probes.Additionally dTrace is secure, BPF is insecure.It really looks bad, but these Linux jokers still think they rule the world.
