* bpf, docs: Better document the atomic instructionsChristoph Hellwig2022-02-031-27/+49
| | | | | | | | | Use proper tables and RST markup to document the atomic instructions in a structured way. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20220131183638.3934982-6-hch@lst.de
* bpf, docs: Better document the extended instruction formatChristoph Hellwig2022-02-031-7/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | In addition to the normal 64-bit instruction encoding, eBPF also has a single instruction that uses a second 64-bit bits for a second immediate value. Instead of only documenting this format deep down in the document mention it in the instruction encoding section.

| | | | | | | | | The eBPF instruction set document does not currently document the basic instruction encoding. Add a section to do that.

* bpf, docs: Move the packet access instructions last in instruction-set.rstChristoph Hellwig2021-12-311-28/+27
| | | | | | | | | | The packet access instructions are a convoluted leftover from classic BPF. Move them last past the much more important atomic operations, and improve the rendering of the code example.

* bpf, docs: Split the comparism to classic BPF from instruction-set.rstChristoph Hellwig2021-12-311-311/+69
| | | | | | | | | | | | Split the introductory that explain eBPF vs classic BPF and how it maps to hardware from the instruction set specification into a standalone document. This duplicates a little bit of information but gives us a useful reference for the eBPF instrution set that is not encumbered by classic BPF.

* bpf, docs: Split general purpose eBPF documentation out of filter.rstChristoph Hellwig2021-11-301-0/+467
filter.rst starts out documenting the classic BPF and then spills into introducing and documentating eBPF. Move the eBPF documentation into rwo new files under Documentation/bpf/ for the instruction set and the verifier and link to the BPF documentation from filter.rst.
