Subject: Re: [PATCH bpf-next v4 0/3] Allow mmap of /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux
Date: Thu, 15 May 2025 08:51:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fb6121db-9872-4e33-bc7b-82b026b0097a@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250510-vmlinux-mmap-v4-0-69e424b2a672@isovalent.com>
> I'd like to cut down the memory usage of parsing vmlinux BTF in ebpf-go.
> With some upcoming changes the library is sitting at 5MiB for a parse.
> Most of that memory is simply copying the BTF blob into user space.
> By allowing vmlinux BTF to be mmapped read-only into user space I can
> cut memory usage by about 75%.
