Hi Alexei,

Thanks for your review!

Not totally untrust root, I don't want that root reads
arbitrary memory address through bpf.

Is it not enough to lock down bpf_probe_read, bpf_probe_write_user
and bpf_trace_printk?

Yes, it give overhead to bpf_probe_read but it prevents arbitrary
memory read.

Another idea is signing bpf bytecode then verifying signture when
loading to kernel. 

Thanks a lot!
