Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== This patch set's main goal is to teach bpf_object__open() (and its variants) to automatically derive BPF program type/expected attach type from section names, similarly to how bpf_prog_load() was doing it. This significantly improves user experience by eliminating yet another obvious-only-in-the-hindsight surprise, when using libbpf APIs. There are a bunch of auxiliary clean-ups and improvements. E.g., bpf_program__get_type() and bpf_program__get_expected_attach_type() are added for completeness and symmetry with corresponding setter APIs. Some clean up and fixes in selftests/bpf are done as well. ==================== 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.
