v1.0.0-rc1

Highlights

This is the release-candidate for v1.0 of eBPF for Windows. The important changes include:

• Proof of Verification: This feature enforces that only those native eBPF programs are loaded, that are packaged in kernel drivers that are signed by a Microsoft issued certificate with the "eBPF verification" EKU. This certificate proves that the native program was generated from an input BPF program that passed verification and was converted using the bpf2c toolchain.
• Breaking changes in libbpf implementations: Changes in behavior in various libbpf functions including bpf_prog_attach, ring_buffer__new, perf_buffer__new and lifetime management functions for nested map types, to align closely with the Linux behavior.
