Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] docs/bpf: update bpf development Q/A file
Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2020 16:43:54 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200221004354.930952-1-yhs@fb.com> (raw)
bpf now has its own mailing list bpf@vger.kernel.org.
Update the bpf_devel_QA.rst file to reflect this.
Also llvm has switch to github with llvm and clang
in the same repo https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git.
Update the QA file with newer build instructions.
