        eBPF allows for programs to run in the kernel level. This could potentially be used to make kernal level anti cheats.

    Cause Microsoft’s history with security has been stellar so far.

      Based on my findings, I think it’s a debugging and inspecting library for machine learning classifiers.

        no, ELI5 means explain like I’m five. It means to dumb something down so people like me can comprehend.

    Only situation where I’d consider including this in a kernel is for use on a gaming platform where it could enable kernel based anti-cheats and thus be attractive to game developers that would otherwise avoid Linux.
