Eduard Zingerman cb6018485c docs/bpf: Add description of register liveness tracking algorithm
This is a followup for [1], adds an overview for the register liveness
tracking, covers the following points:
- why register liveness tracking is useful;
- how register parentage chains are constructed;
- how liveness marks are applied using the parentage chains.

README

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.
