The main changes are: 1) Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels without BTF info, from Mauricio Vásquez, Rafael David Tinoco, Lorenzo Fontana and Leonardo Di Donato. (Details: https://lpc.events/event/11/contributions/948/) 2) Prepare light skeleton to be used in both kernel module and user space and convert bpf_preload.ko to use light skeleton, from Alexei Starovoitov. 3) Rework bpftool's versioning scheme and align with libbpf's version number; also add linked libbpf version info to "bpftool version", from Quentin Monnet. 4) Add minimal C++ specific additions to bpftool's skeleton codegen to facilitate use of C skeletons in C++ applications, from Andrii Nakryiko. 5) Add BPF verifier sanity check whether relative offset on kfunc calls overflows desc->imm and reject the BPF program if the case, from Hou Tao. 6) Fix libbpf to use a dynamically allocated buffer for netlink messages to avoid receiving truncated messages on some archs, from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen. 7) Various follow-up fixes to the JIT bpf_prog_pack allocator, from Song Liu. 8) Various BPF selftest and vmtest.sh fixes, from Yucong Sun. 9) Fix bpftool pretty print handling on dumping map keys/values when no BTF is available, from Jiri Olsa and Yinjun Zhang. 10) Extend XDP frags selftest to check for invalid length, from Lorenzo Bianconi. * https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next: (29 commits) bpf: bpf_prog_pack: Set proper size before freeing ro_header selftests/bpf: Fix crash in core_reloc when bpftool btfgen fails selftests/bpf: Fix vmtest.sh to launch smp vm. libbpf: Fix memleak in libbpf_netlink_recv() bpftool: Fix C++ additions to skeleton bpftool: Fix pretty print dump for maps without BTF loaded selftests/bpf: Test "bpftool gen min_core_btf" bpftool: Gen min_core_btf explanation and examples bpftool: Implement btfgen_get_btf() bpftool: Implement "gen min_core_btf" logic bpftool: Add gen min_core_btf command libbpf: Expose bpf_core_{add,free}_cands() to bpftool libbpf: Split bpf_core_apply_relo() bpf: Reject kfunc calls that overflow insn->imm selftests/bpf: Add Skeleton templated wrapper as an example bpftool: Add C++-specific open/load/etc skeleton wrappers selftests/bpf: Fix GCC11 compiler warnings in -O2 mode bpftool: Fix the error when lookup in no-btf maps libbpf: Use dynamically allocated buffer when receiving netlink messages libbpf: Fix libbpf.map inheritance chain for LIBBPF_0.7.0 ... ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220217232027.29831-1-daniel@iogearbox.net Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
