docs/bpf: Remove source code links

2020-09-15T01:46:54+00:00

Make path to bench_ringbufs.c just a text, not a special link.

docs/bpf: Fix ringbuf documentation

2020-09-11T03:18:53+00:00

Remove link to litmus tests that didn't make it to upstream. Fix ringbuf
benchmark link.

I wasn't able to test this with `make htmldocs`, unfortunately, because of
Sphinx dependencies. But bench_ringbufs.c path is certainly correct now.

doc: Add link to bpf helpers man page

2020-08-13T20:48:06+00:00

The bpf-helpers(7) man pages provide an invaluable description of the
functions that an eBPF program can call at runtime. Link them here.

bpf, doc: Remove references to warning message when using bpf_trace_printk()

2020-08-07T16:44:56+00:00

The BPF helper bpf_trace_printk() no longer uses trace_printk();
it is now triggers a dedicated trace event.  Hence the described
warning is no longer present, so remove the discussion of it as
it may confuse people.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a
  while to come. Changes include:

   - Some new Chinese translations

   - Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS

   - Some block-mq documentation

   - More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is
     essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again
     for a while. Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or
     something...:)

   - Lots of typo fixes, warning fixes, and more"

Documentation/bpf: Use valid and new links in index.rst

2020-07-31T16:17:51+00:00

There exists an error "404 Not Found" when I click the html link of
"Documentation/networking/filter.rst" in the BPF documentation [1],
fix it.

Additionally, use the new links about "BPF and XDP Reference Guide"
and "bpf(2)" to avoid redirects.

Documentation/bpf: Document CGROUP_STORAGE map type

2020-07-26T03:16:36+00:00

The machanics and usage are not very straightforward. Given the
changes it's better to document how it works and how to use it,
rather than having to rely on the examples and implementation to
infer what is going on.
