⚡ Bolt: Optimize eBPF event deserialization#170
Conversation
Replaces the slow `binary.Read` (reflection-based) with direct `unsafe.Pointer` casting for `l7Event`, `fileEvent`, and `procEvent` deserialization. Benchmark results for `l7Event` (size ~8KB): - Before: ~101,435 ns/op (allocating) - After: ~0.77 ns/op (zero-copy cast) This significantly reduces CPU usage and allocations in the hot path of the eBPF event reader. Note: `tcpEvent` remains unoptimized due to struct alignment mismatch with the eBPF raw sample.

I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down. I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

💡 What: Optimized eBPF event deserialization in
ebpftracerby replacingbinary.Readwithunsafe.Pointercasting.🎯 Why:
binary.Readuses reflection and is extremely slow for high-frequency events, especially large ones likel7Event(>8KB).📊 Impact:
l7Eventparsing is ~130,000x faster (~101µs -> ~1ns).fileEventandprocEventalso benefit from zero-copy parsing.🔬 Measurement: Verified with a benchmark (
BenchmarkL7EventParsing) confirming the speedup. Existing tests intracer_test.gopassed, ensuring no regressions in functionality.Note:
tcpEventwas not optimized due to known alignment issues (102 vs 104 bytes).PR created automatically by Jules for task 12050749745111601882 started by @blue4209211
