[$] An update on GCC BPF support

Date:
Wed, 02 Apr 2025 15:47:39 +0000

Description:
Jos Marchesi and David Faust kicked off the BPF track at the 2025 Linux 
Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit with an extra-long session on 
what
they have been doing to support compiling to BPF in GCC. Overall, the project 
is slowly working
toward full support for BPF, with most of the self-tests now passing using
Faust's in-progress patches. However, the progress toward that goal has 
turned up
a number of problems with how Clang supports BPF that needed to be discussed 
at
length to find a path forward for both projects.
