Message-Id: <20250510-vmlinux-mmap-v4-0-69e424b2a672@isovalent.com> Date: Sat, 10 May 2025 08:34:53 -0400 From: Lorenz Bauer <lmb@...valent.com> To: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>, Alexei Starovoitov <ast@...nel.org>, Daniel Borkmann <daniel@...earbox.net>, Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@...nel.org>, Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@...ux.dev>, Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@...il.com>, Song Liu <song@...nel.org>, Yonghong Song <yonghong.song@...ux.dev>, John Fastabend <john.fastabend@...il.com>, KP Singh <kpsingh@...nel.org>, Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@...ichev.me>, Hao Luo <haoluo@...gle.com>, Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...nel.org>, Mykola Lysenko <mykolal@...com>, Shuah Khan <shuah@...nel.org> Cc: linux-arch@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, bpf@...r.kernel.org, linux-kselftest@...r.kernel.org, Lorenz Bauer <lmb@...valent.com> Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 0/3] Allow mmap of /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux 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%.
