2025 Towards Structurally Extensible Host Network Stacks
abstract
Several recent proposals have shown that re-architecting the host network stack can significantly improve throughput and reduce tail latency. Yet these designs remain confined to user-level stacks or invasive kernel forks, both of which are impractical for production deployment.

2025 eBPF Misbehavior Detection: Fuzzing with a Specification-Based Oracle
abstract
Bugs in the Linux eBPF verifier may cause it to mistakenly accept unsafe eBPF programs or reject safe ones, causing either security or usability issues. While prior works on fuzzing the eBPF verifier have been effective, their bug oracles only hint at the existence of bugs indirectly (e.g., when a memory error occurs in downstream execution) instead of showing the root cause, confining them to uncover a narrow range of security bugs only with no detection of usability issues.

2024 Fast, Flexible, and Practical Kernel Extensions
abstract
The ability to safely extend OS kernel functionality is a longstanding goal in OS design, with the widespread use of the eBPF framework in Linux and Windows demonstrating the benefits of such extensibility. However, existing solutions for kernel extensibility (including eBPF) are limited and constrain users either in the extent of functionality that they can offload to the kernel or the performance overheads incurred by their extensions.
