Russell King says: ==================== This series improves the ARM BPF JIT compiler by: - enumerating the stack layout rather than using constants that happen to be multiples of four - rejig the BPF "register" accesses to use negative numbers instead of positive, which could be confused with register numbers in the bpf2a32 array. - since we maintain the ARM FP register as a pointer to the top of our scratch space (or, with frame pointers enabled, a valid ARM frame pointer register), we can access our scratch space using FP, which is constant across all BPF programs, including tail-called programs. - use immediate forms of ARM instructions where possible, rather than first loading the immediate into an ARM register. - use load-with-shift instruction rather than seperate shift instruction followed by load - avoid reloading index and array in the tail-call code - use double-word load/store instructions where available Version 2: - Fix ARMv5 test pointed out by Olof - Fix build error found by 0-day (adding an additional patch) ==================== 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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
