Description

eBPF for Windows should support ETW, syscall and kprobe style hooks

One of the strong points of BPF on Linux is the ability to execute BPF programs in response to kprobes and system calls. This provides a very rich set of diagnostic tools to the developer and administrator of Linux systems. eBPF for Windows would benefit from adding equivalent functionality.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by surveying the eBPF-for-Windows codebase for existing hook and event mechanisms, then define how ETW, syscall, and kprobe-style hooks should be supported. Done means providing equivalent functionality for these three hook styles.
