Towards a Standardized eBPF ISA - Conformance Testing

Explore the BPF Conformance Suite in this informative conference talk from the Linux Plumbers Conference. Discover how this essential tool addresses cross-runtime compatibility challenges for BPF programs. Learn about the suite's components, including the test runner and test cases, and understand its role in evaluating BPF runtime conformity to the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) specification. Gain insights into the suite's real-world applications across major BPF runtimes such as the Linux Kernel's BPF, uBPF, eBPF for Windows, rbpf, and the Prevail Verifier. Examine the benefits of the BPF Conformance Suite in enhancing compatibility, improving security, streamlining development processes, and fostering collaboration within the BPF community. Consider the future potential and adaptability of the suite as BPF technology continues to evolve.
