A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case
8f184732b6
In order to show pinned paths for BPF programs, maps, or links when
listing them with the "-f" option, bpftool creates hash maps to store
all relevant paths under the bpffs. So far, it would rely on the
kernel implementation (from tools/include/linux/hashtable.h).
We can make bpftool rely on libbpf's implementation instead. The
motivation is to make bpftool less dependent of kernel headers, to ease
the path to a potential out-of-tree mirror, like libbpf has.
This commit is the first step of the conversion: the hash maps for
pinned paths for programs, maps, and links are converted to libbpf's
hashmap.{c,h}. Other hash maps used for the PIDs of process holding
references to BPF objects are left unchanged for now. On the build side,
this requires adding a dependency to a second header internal to libbpf,
and making it a dependency for the bootstrap bpftool version as well.
The rest of the changes are a rather straightforward conversion.

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.
