Like many engineers, for a long time I’ve thought of the Linux kernel as a black box. I've been using Linux daily for many years - but my usage was mostly limited to following the installation guide, interacting with the command line interface and writing bash scripts.

Some time ago I heard about eBPF (extended BPF). The first thing I heard was that it’s a programmable interface for the Linux kernel. Wait a second. Does that mean I can now inject my code into Linux without fully understanding all the internals and compiling the kernel? The answer turns out to be approximately yes!
