Subject: RE: [PATCH] kcov: add KCOV_PC_RANGE to limit pc range

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43003805/can-ebpf-modify-the-return-value-or-parameters-of-a-syscall
eBPF seems read-only, I think it won't overcome the area overflow if cannot modify the area inside kernel?

This is definitely interesting and flexible. eBPF have different types of maps nowadays and these can be accessed from user-space as well.
Alternatively could we attach just an eBPF map as a filter?
But we would need to measure overhead, this will be executed for every basic block of code.

But for anything else (something in the main kernel, or several modules), it won't work as PCs are not continuous.
