Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] libbpf: Extend BPF_KSYSCALL documentation
Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2022 04:03:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220723020344.21699-2-iii@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220723020344.21699-1-iii@linux.ibm.com>

Explicitly list known quirks.
Mention that socket-related syscalls can be invoked via socketcall().
