The Cilium project also maintains a `BPF and XDP Reference Guide`_
that goes into great technical depth about the BPF Architecture.
bpf: Add documentation for libbpf including API autogen 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.

libbpf
======
bpf: Reconfigure libbpf docs to remove unversioned API 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, doc: add basic README.rst file A README.rst file in a directory have special meaning for sites like github, which auto renders the contents. Plus search engines like Google also index these README.rst files. Auto rendering allow us to use links, for (re)directing eBPF users to other places where docs live. The end-goal would be to direct users towards https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest but we haven't written the full docs yet, so we start out small and take this incrementally. This directory itself contains some useful docs, which can be linked to from the README.rst file (verified this works for github).
