Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] bpf, docs: Add extended call instructions
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2023 23:21:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230310232144.4077-1-dthaler1968@googlemail.com> (raw)

From: Dave Thaler <dthaler@microsoft.com>

Add extended call instructions.  Since BPF can be used in userland
or SmartNICs, this uses the more generic "runtime functions"
rather than the kernel specific "kfuncs" as a term.

+Runtime functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Runtime functions are like helper functions except that they are not specific

+eBPF functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+eBPF functions are functions exposed by the same eBPF program as the caller,

+A ``BPF_EXIT`` within the eBPF function will return to the caller.
