The latest llvm supports cpu version v3, which is cpu version v1 plus some additional 64bit jmp insns and 32bit jmp insn support. In selftests/bpf Makefile, the llvm flag -mcpu=probe did runtime probe into the host system. Depending on compilation environments, it is possible that runtime probe may fail, e.g., due to memlock issue. This will cause generated code with cpu version v1. This may cause confusion as the same compiler and the same C code generates different byte codes in different environment. Let us change the llvm flag -mcpu=probe to -mcpu=v3 so the generated code will be the same regardless of the compilation environment.

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.
