    [$] BPF in the agentic era

    Description:
    Alexei Starovoitov gave " less of a presentation, more of a scream of realization " at the BPF track of the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit . He shared a set of ideas for how BPF could change to avoid being swept away by the sea-change in programming represented by modern
    large language models (LLMs) and the coding agents based on them.
    In a follow-up session, the discussion covered
    more problems with how coding agents use tools like bpftrace, and the current deluge of
    patches in need of review in the BPF subsystem.
