      Extending Applications Safely and Efficiently

abstract: >-
  This paper introduces the Extension Interface Model (EIM) and
  bpftime, a framework for safer and more efficient application
  extension. EIM treats extension features as resources, allowing
  managers to specify exact resource needs. bpftime uses eBPF-style
  verification, hardware isolation, and dynamic binary rewriting
  to achieve efficiency and compatibility with the existing eBPF
  ecosystem. The system demonstrates the approach across 6 use
  cases involving security, performance monitoring, and configuration
  exploration. By operating in userspace, bpftime achieves significant
  performance improvements while maintaining safety guarantees and
  compatibility with existing eBPF toolchains.
