BPF Type Format (BTF),BPF's debugging information format, has undergone rapid evolution to matchthe evolving needs of BPF programs. Jose Marchesi spoke at Kangrejos about someof that work - and how it could impact Rust, specifically. He discussed debuginformation, kernel-specific relocations, and the planned changes to kernelstack unwinding.
