The script for checking that various lists of types in bpftool remain in sync with the UAPI BPF header uses a regex to parse enum bpf_prog_type. If this enum contains a set of values different from the list of program types in bpftool, it complains. This script should have reported the addition, some time ago, of the new BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL, which was not reported to bpftool's program types list. It failed to do so, because it failed to parse that new type from the enum. This is because the new value, in the BPF header, has an explicative comment on the same line, and the regex does not support that. Let's update the script to support parsing enum values when they have comments on the same line.

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.
