Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf 2018-03-21 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree. The main changes are: 1) Follow-up fix to the fault injection framework to prevent jump optimization on the kprobe by installing a dummy post-handler, from Masami. 2) Drop bpf_perf_prog_read_value helper from tracepoint type programs which was mistakenly added there and would otherwise crash due to wrong input context, from Yonghong. 3) Fix a crash in BPF fs when compiled with clang. Code appears to be fine just that clang tries to overly aggressive optimize in non C conform ways, therefore fix the kernel's Makefile to generally prevent such issues, from Daniel. 4) Skip unnecessary capability checks in bpf syscall, which is otherwise triggering unnecessary security hooks on capability checking and causing false alarms on unprivileged processes trying to access CAP_SYS_ADMIN restricted infra, from Chenbo. 5) Fix the test_bpf.ko module when CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is set with regards to a test case that is really just supposed to fail on x8_64 JIT but not others, from Thadeu. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
