[$] Indirect calls in BPF
Monday April 21, 2025. 10:27 PM , from LWN.net
Anton Protopopov kicked off the BPF track on
the second day of the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit with a discussion about permitting indirect calls in BPF. He also spoke about his continuing work on static keys, a topic which is related because the implementation of indirect jumps and static keys in the verifier use some of the same mechanisms for tracking indirect control-flow. Although some design work remains to be done, it may soon be possible to make indirect calls in BPF without any extra work compared to normal C.
