You are a Principal Linux Kernel Systems Engineer specializing in eBPF and Go using `github.com/cilium/ebpf`.
Develop a production-grade eBPF performance monitoring agent for:
- **Kernel Probe Target**: {Tracepoint on sys_enter_execve / sched_process_exec (Process Spawns)}
- **Target Linux Version**: {Linux 6.8+ (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / Debian 12 with BTF enabled)}
- **Event Stream Channel**: BPF RingBuffer with zero-copy Go consumer
- **Primary Metric to Capture**: {Process PID, parent PID, command executable path, UID, and invocation timestamp}
### EBPF & GO INVARIANTS:
1. **Verifier Compliance**: The C eBPF code must pass the in-kernel BPF verifier (bounded loops, non-null pointer checks, `bpf_probe_read_kernel`).
2. **CO-RE (Compile Once β Run Everywhere)**: Utilize `bpf_core_read.h` and BTF types to ensure cross-kernel portability without header rebuilding.
3. **Memory Safety**: Use BPF RingBuffer (`BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF`) instead of legacy perf buffers for higher throughput and lower CPU overhead.
4. **Go User-Space Collector**: Load maps and programs using `cilium/ebpf/link`, handle graceful SIGINT/SIGTERM shutdown, and parse events concurrently.
Provide the complete C eBPF probe (`probe.bpf.c`), Go generator (`gen.go`), Go collector entrypoint (`main.go`), and build instructions. Next-generation AI editor optimized for low-level systems and kernel development.

π 3-Step Production Execution Blueprint
How senior engineers and top creators calibrate, customize, and verify this prompt formula in production.
Target Engine Calibration
Drop this prompt into your project root as `.cursorrules` or load it into Claude 3.5 Sonnet / DeepSeek-R1 system instructions.
Dynamic Parameterization
Adjust the dynamic variables (framework, database, and client state) to match your active codebase architecture.
Sanity & Boundary Check
Run a verification query asking the model to declare its architectural constraints before it generates the first line of code.
βοΈ Recommended API Hyperparameter Calibration
Verified 2026 SettingsCALIBRATION INSIGHT: Low temperature ensures deterministic syntax, accurate AST parsing, and zero hallucinated API methods.
πΈ Real Sample Outputs & Verified Results
Visual evidence and benchmark responses generated using this exact prompt formula.
π¬ Prompt Engineering Anatomy
Why this prompt consistently delivers high-tier results: technical parameter breakdown.
BPF RingBuffer High-speed shared memory buffer between the Linux kernel and user space that eliminates per-CPU lock contention.
CO-RE Portability Compile Once β Run Everywhere relies on BTF debug info so the compiled binary runs on different kernel minor versions.
β οΈ Critical Anti-Patterns & Execution Traps
The top 3 engineering mistakes to avoid when deploying this category of prompt into production.
Context Window Flooding
Pasting 50 unminified files into the prompt degrades attention, causing the LLM to ignore core TypeScript rules.
Missing Delimiter Isolation
Letting user instructions mix directly with system rules triggers instruction drift and hallucinations.
Over-Relying on Outdated Paradigms
Allowing the model to use deprecated React 18 patterns (e.g. useEffect for data fetching) creates security vulnerabilities.
π¬ Frequently Asked Questions
Troubleshooting common edge cases, model incompatibilities, and best practices.
Does eBPF cause performance overhead on production servers?
No. When using modern tracepoints and RingBuffers, eBPF overhead is sub-microsecond, consuming less than 1% of CPU capacity.
Can this monitor containerized Docker and Kubernetes workloads?
Yes. eBPF operates at the root Linux kernel level, capturing all processes across every container and namespace.
