Some questions about EBPF

Some questions about EBPF

[Jhonny Knaak de Vargas]

Hi,
Got some quick questions,
Consider that I am a newbie just studying.

1. How can I subscribe to the list? This link seems to not be valid
anymore http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#bpf

2. What I want to do:
	My idea is from user space set the pid of a process to the bpf
program on the kernel side.
	On the kernel side I want to have a variable which will have
that PID that came from user space. Now,I want to identify writes to
memory that process owns.

   Question:
	I am not sure if I should be looking to use kernel headers for
identifying the memory pages of a process or should I be reading /proc?

	Can you guys please give me some tips on how to achieve that?

Jhonny

It should work.

Where exactly do you hook for identifying memory writes?

I guess it may already provide some context for you to follow to find
out the process.

And you can always use eBPF map to communicate with user-space to filter
processes with PID's.

Thanks.
