Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== This patch set implements an update to how BTF-defined maps are specified. The change is in how integer attributes, e.g., type, max_entries, map_flags, are specified: now they are captured as part of map definition struct's BTF type information (using array dimension), eliminating the need for compile-time data initialization and keeping all the metadata in one place. All existing selftests that were using BTF-defined maps are updated, along with some other selftests, that were switched to new syntax. v4->v5: - revert sample_map_ret0.c, which is loaded with iproute2 (kernel test robot); v3->v4: - add acks; - fix int -> uint type in commit message; v2->v3: - rename __int into __uint (Yonghong); v1->v2: - split bpf_helpers.h change from libbpf change (Song). ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
