Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next
Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2021-03-09 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. We've added 90 non-merge commits during the last 17 day(s) which contain a total of 114 files changed, 5158 insertions(+), 1288 deletions(-). The main changes are: 1) Faster bpf_redirect_map(), from Björn. 2) skmsg cleanup, from Cong. 3) Support for floating point types in BTF, from Ilya. 4) Documentation for sys_bpf commands, from Joe. 5) Support for sk_lookup in bpf_prog_test_run, form Lorenz. 6) Enable task local storage for tracing programs, from Song. 7) bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper, from Yonghong. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

+==================

+eBPF is a kernel mechanism to provide a sandboxed runtime environment in the
+Linux kernel for runtime extension and instrumentation without changing kernel
+source code or loading kernel modules. eBPF programs can be attached to various
+kernel subsystems, including networking, tracing and Linux security modules
+(LSM).
