BPF exception cleanups unlock Rust Drop on bpf_throw() unwind
The kernel and libbpf now run compiler-emitted landing pads when bpf_throw() walks the stack, so frames can release RCU locks and other owned resources.
By oopsBPF exception unwind gains cleanup pads for Rust Drop
Yonghong Song's bpf-next series lets bpf_throw() run compiler-emitted landing pads so frames can release locks and owned objects on the way out.
By kexecBTF patches aim to let BPF tracers reach inlined functions
Alan Maguire proposes compact location metadata so kprobes can recover parameters at inline sites without ballooning kernel BTF.
By oopsBPF gains global per-CPU variables in a .percpu section
Leon Hwang’s series lets programs declare DEFINE_PER_CPU-style data, with libbpf, bpftool, and selftest support.
