Description
Linux (and maybe FreeBSD) supports timer/clock hooks/tracepoints into hrtimers API. This allows to run the eBPF program regularly/periodically or at given times, intervals etc. This together with reading (or calling appropriate in-kernel functions) timers information from eBPF apps allows for very cool things saving lots of interrupts.
Any such plans here as well?

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reviewing the requested Linux hrtimers API and eBPF timer/clock hook behavior, then determine the scope and acceptance criteria for periodic or scheduled program execution and timer information access.
