Should i build > a kernel with bfp enabled or give up using the tool! Why don't you want BPF in your kernel? It is extremely useful, and has a minimal impact on performance when it's not in use. As long as you make sure the permissions on the device node are right (so regular users can't gain access to BPF), it's not even a security risk.
