Subject: [PATCH v3] docs: sysctl/kernel: document BPF entries
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2020 22:58:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200310215824.17139-1-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.

The section style doesn't match the surrounding sections; it matches
the style of the reworked kernel.rst queued up in docs-next.

Signed-off-by: Stephen Kitt <steve@sk2.org>

Notes:
    Changes since v2:
    - fixed "will disabled" typo.
    
    Changes since v1:
    - rebased on bpf-next instead of docs-next.
