Pitfalls of relying on eBPF for security monitoring (and some solutions)
['Artem Dinaburg']
The Trail of Bits Blog
Because eBPF lacks concurrency primitives and an eBPF probe cannot block the event producer, an attach point can be easily overwhelmed with events. Missed events, as the kernel stops calling the probe Data loss due to the lack of storage space for new data Data loss due to the complete overwriting of older but not yet consumed data by newer information Data corruption from partial overwrites or complex data formats, disrupting normal program operation Developers need to be aware of pitfalls like probe unreliability, data truncation, instruction limits, concurrency issues, event overload, and page faults.
