    [$] Inlining kfuncs into BPF programs

    Description:
    Eduard Zingerman presented a daring proposal that " makes sense if you think about it a bit " at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
    Memory-Management, and BPF Summit. He wants to inline
    performance-sensitive kernel functions
    into the BPF programs that call them. His
    prototype does not yet address all of the design problems inherent in that idea,
    but it did spark a lengthy discussion about the feasibility of his proposal.
