Daniel Borkmann 632130ed3b Merge branch 'bpf-nfp-misc-improvements'
Jakub Kicinski says:

====================
This series starts with a fix to Jesper's recent work, somehow I forgot
about control rings during review.  Second patch is cleaning up a vNIC
header, in kdoc we should not use @ for #define constants.  Aligning of
the top of the stack as well as bottom (last bytes will be unused) helps
the performance.  We should check offload datapath's max MTU when program
is loaded and we can allow TC hw offload flag to be changed freely while
XDP offload is active.

Next group of patches adds more fully featured relocation support.  Due
to limited amount of code space we only load the image to NIC's memory
when program is attached.  Since we can't predict which programs are
loaded later, we should translate as if image was to be loaded at offset
zero and only apply relocations at load time.  Many more advanced features
(eg. tail class, subprograms, dynamic allocation of program space and
sharing it between ports) will depend on this.

Nic adds support for signed comparison instructions.

Quentin makes use of the verifier log in our driver, the verifier print
function (verbose()) has to be renamed and exported.

v2:
 - replace #define by function aliasing for verbose() in patch 13

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
