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 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
|
|
:ref:`networking-filter`, 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.
|
|
|
|
libbpf
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Documentation/bpf/libbpf/libbpf.rst is a userspace library for loading and interacting with bpf programs.
|
|
|
|

Syscall API
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The primary info for the bpf syscall is available in the `man-pages`_
|
|
for `bpf(2)`_. For more information about the userspace API, see
|
|
Documentation/userspace-api/ebpf/index.rst.

|
|
Helper functions
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
* `bpf-helpers(7)`_ maintains a list of helpers available to eBPF programs.
