Introduction A significant change in Linux Kernel version 6.1 is the introduction of support for the Rust programming language. Rust is a system programming language that offers robust compile-time guarantees and precise control over memory lifetimes. Integrating Rust language into kernel development will bring additional safety measures to the early stages of kernel development. eBPF is a technology in the kernel that enables running user-defined programs based on events, with a validator mechanism ensuring the security of eBPF programs running in……
