+=================
+BPF Documentation
+=================
+
+This directory contains documentation for the BPF (Berkeley Packet
+Filter) facility, with a focus on the extended BPF version (eBPF).
+
+This kernel side documentation is still work in progress. The main
+textual documentation is (for historical reasons) described in
+`Documentation/networking/filter.txt`_, which describe both classical
+and extended BPF instruction-set.
+The Cilium project also maintains a `BPF and XDP Reference Guide`_
+that goes into great technical depth about the BPF Architecture.
+
+The primary info for the bpf syscall is available in the `man-pages`_
+for `bpf(2)`_.
+
+
+
+Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
+================================
+
+Two sets of Questions and Answers (Q&A) are maintained.
