SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the development of eBPF programs in Rust, enabling efficient kernel-level observability and networking tasks without the complexity of manual C/C++ development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Kernel-side BPF Development: Write eBPF programs using Rust and the Aya framework.
  • Userspace Integration: Seamlessly load and interact with BPF programs from a Rust userspace application, often using Tokio for async operations.
  • Map Sharing: Facilitates sharing data structures (maps) between the kernel BPF programs and the userspace application.
  • Use Case: Monitor system calls, network traffic, or application performance by writing custom eBPF logic in Rust and observing it from a userspace dashboard.

Quick Start

Use the ebpf-rust skill to create a new Aya project from its template.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write eBPF programs in Rust instead of C?

Write eBPF programs in Rust using the Aya framework, which provides `aya-bpf` for kernel-side development and enables safe, memory-managed observability and networking logic without manual C/C++ complexity.

What is the best way to share maps between kernel eBPF and userspace Rust?

The best way to share maps is using Aya's built-in support for sharing data structures between kernel BPF programs and userspace Rust applications, allowing seamless data transfer for monitoring and observability tasks.

Can I use Tokio for async userspace applications with Aya eBPF?

Yes, you can integrate Tokio for async operations in userspace Rust applications to load and interact with BPF programs, enabling efficient concurrent processing of kernel events and network traffic data.

Does the Aya framework support structured logging for eBPF programs?

Yes, the Aya framework supports structured logging through `aya-log`, allowing you to output structured log messages from kernel-side BPF programs directly to your userspace application for debugging and observability.

How do I monitor system calls using Rust eBPF?

Monitor system calls by writing custom eBPF logic in Rust using `aya-bpf` for kernel-level tracing, then loading and observing the captured data from a Rust userspace dashboard application.

Do I need C toolchains to build Rust eBPF programs with Aya?

No, you do not need manual C/C++ development toolchains because Aya allows you to build eBPF programs entirely in Rust, simplifying the build process for kernel-level networking and observability tasks.
