[$] An update on BPF generation from GCC
Tuesday September 17, 2024. 02:23 PM , from LWN.net
The generation of binary code for the kernel's BPF virtual machine has been
limited to the Clang compiler since the beginning; even developers who use GCC to build kernels must use Clang to compile to BPF. Work has been underway for some years on adding a BPF backend to GCC as well; the developers involved ran a session at the 2024 GNU Tools Cauldron to provide an update on that project. It would seem that the BPF backend is close to being ready for production use.
