All vector drivers now allow a BPF program to be loaded and associated with the RX socket in the host kernel. 1. The program can be loaded as an extra kernel command line option to any of the vector drivers. 2. The program can also be loaded as "firmware", using the ethtool flash option. It is possible to turn this facility on or off using a command line option. A simplistic wrapper for generating the BPF firmware for the raw socket driver out of a tcpdump/libpcap filter expression can be found at: https://github.com/kot-begemot-uk/uml_vector_utilities/ Signed-off-by: Anton Ivanov <anton.ivanov@cambridgegreys.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
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.
