The official companion repository for the book 'BPF Performance Tools: Linux and Application Observability', containing the eBPF tools, updated versions, and exercise solutions from the book. The tools are deliberately short textbook examples for Linux system and application observability using BPF, BCC, and bpftrace.

Use cases

  • learn eBPF performance tools on Linux
  • trace kernel and application events with bpftrace
  • find exercise solutions for the BPF performance tools book
  • get updated versions of book tools for newer kernels
  • study Linux observability with BCC tools

When to choose

  • you are reading the BPF Performance Tools book and want its code
  • you want short, educational eBPF tracing examples
  • you need updated book tools for newer Linux kernels

When to avoid

  • you need production-grade, feature-rich BPF tools - use BCC or bpftrace repositories instead
  • you want actively developed tooling beyond the book's scope
  • you need a licensed, supported software project - the repo has no license
