Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf 2018-01-09 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree. The main changes are: 1) Prevent out-of-bounds speculation in BPF maps by masking the index after bounds checks in order to fix spectre v1, and add an option BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON into Kconfig that allows for removing the BPF interpreter from the kernel in favor of JIT-only mode to make spectre v2 harder, from Alexei. 2) Remove false sharing of map refcount with max_entries which was used in spectre v1, from Daniel. 3) Add a missing NULL psock check in sockmap in order to fix a race, from John. 4) Fix test_align BPF selftest case since a recent change in verifier rejects the bit-wise arithmetic on pointers earlier but test_align update was missing, from Alexei. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
