Subject: [PATCH v4] docs: sysctl/kernel: document BPF entries
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2020 13:26:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200315122648.20558-1-steve@sk2.org> (raw)
Based on the implementation in kernel/bpf/syscall.c,
kernel/bpf/trampoline.c, include/linux/filter.h, and the documentation
in bpftool-prog.rst.
Signed-off-by: Stephen Kitt <steve@sk2.org>

Notes:
This patch is intended for docs-next, but I'd appreciate reviews from
BPF developers.
Changes since v3:
- moved back to docs-next.
Changes since v2:
- fixed "will disabled" typo.
Changes since v1:
- rebased on bpf-next instead of docs-next.
