libbpf: Rename libbpf documentation index file

2021-08-18T15:45:25+00:00

This patch renames a documentation libbpf.rst to index.rst. In order for readthedocs.org to pick this file up and properly build the documentation site. It also changes the title type of the ABI subsection in the naming convention doc. This is so that readthedocs.org doesn't treat this section as a separate document.

bpf: Reconfigure libbpf docs to remove unversioned API

2021-08-17T00:25:03+00:00

This removes the libbpf_api.rst file from the kernel documentation. The intention for this file was to pull documentation from comments above API functions in libbpf. However, due to limitations of the kernel documentation system, this API documentation could not be versioned, which is counterintuative to how users expect to use it. There is also currently no doc comments, making this a blank page. Once the kernel comment documentation is actually contributed, it will still exist in the kernel repository, just in the code itself. A seperate site is being spun up to generate documentaiton from those comments in a way in which it can be versioned properly. This also reconfigures the bpf documentation index page to make it easier to sync to the previously mentioned documentaiton site.

bpf: Add documentation for libbpf including API autogen

2021-06-18T21:06:06+00:00

This patch is meant to start the initiative to document libbpf. It includes .rst files which are text documentation describing building, API naming convention, as well as an index to generated API documentation. In this approach the generated API documentation is enabled by the kernels existing kernel documentation system which uses sphinx. The resulting docs would then be synced to kernel.org/doc You can test this by running `make htmldocs` and serving the html in Documentation/output. Since libbpf does not yet have comments in kernel doc format, see kernel.org/doc/html/latest/doc-guide/kernel-doc.html for an example so you can test this. The advantage of this approach is to use the existing sphinx infrastructure that the kernel has, and have libbpf docs in the same place as everything else. The current plan is to have the libbpf mirror sync the generated docs and version them based on the libbpf releases which are cut on github. This patch includes the addition of libbpf_api.rst which pulls comment documentation from header files in libbpf under tools/lib/bpf/. The comment docs would be of the standard kernel doc format.

bpf, docs: Add llvm_reloc.rst to explain llvm bpf relocations

2021-05-28T20:12:04+00:00

LLVM upstream commit https://reviews.llvm.org/D102712 made some changes to bpf relocations to make them llvm linker lld friendly. The scope of existing relocations R_BPF_64_{64,32} is narrowed and new relocations R_BPF_64_{ABS32,ABS64,NODYLD32} are introduced. Let us add some documentation about llvm bpf relocations so people can understand how to resolve them properly in their respective tools.

bpf: Document the pahole release info related to libbpf in bpf_devel_QA.rst

2021-04-24T00:11:58+00:00

pahole starts to use libbpf definitions and APIs since v1.13 after the commit 21507cd3e97b ("pahole: add libbpf as submodule under lib/bpf"). It works well with the git repository because the libbpf submodule will use "git submodule update --init --recursive" to update. Unfortunately, the default github release source code does not contain libbpf submodule source code and this will cause build issues, the tarball from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/ is same with github, you can get the source tarball with corresponding libbpf submodule codes from https://fedorapeople.org/~acme/dwarves This change documents the above issues to give more information so that we can get the tarball from the right place, early discussion is here: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/2de4aad5-fa9e-1c39-3c92-9bb9229d0966@loongson.cn/ Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov Reviewed-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/1619141010-12521-1-git-send-email-yangtiezhu@loongson.cn
