====================
pull-request: bpf 2020-03-27

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.

We've added 3 non-merge commits during the last 4 day(s) which contain
a total of 4 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Explicitly memset the bpf_attr structure on bpf() syscall to avoid
   having to rely on compiler to do so. Issues have been noticed on
   some compilers with padding and other oddities where the request was
   then unexpectedly rejected, from Greg Kroah-Hartman.

2) Sanitize the bpf_struct_ops TCP congestion control name in order to
   avoid problematic characters such as whitespaces, from Martin KaFai Lau.

History
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.
