Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Right now, on certain architectures, these macros are usable only with kernel headers. This patch makes it possible to use them with userspace headers and, as a consequence, not only in BPF samples, but also in BPF selftests. On s390, provide the forward declaration of struct pt_regs and cast it to user_pt_regs in PT_REGS_* macros. This is necessary, because instead of the full struct pt_regs, s390 exposes only its first member user_pt_regs to userspace, and bpf_helpers.h is used with both userspace (in selftests) and kernel (in samples) headers. It was added in commit 466698e6 ("s390/bpf: correct broken uapi for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type"). Ditto on arm64. On x86, provide userspace versions of PT_REGS_* macros. Unlike s390 and arm64, x86 provides struct pt_regs to both userspace and kernel, however, with different member names. Signed-off-by:Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by:
