Question: What kernel tree should this go into??? If going through Jonathan Corbet, will it appear sooner here??? https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ If it will not appear sooner that way, then it's likely best to keep it in sync with the tree that takes eBPF code changes.
This marks the beginning of user-facing developer documentation for using eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) as part of the kernel Documentation/ tree. This documentation is also available here[1], as an intermidiate quick way of prototyping and releasing the documentation. The autoriative and official version of the documentation is what gets included in the kernel tree. The docs at [2] will get updated based on what gets accepted after the standard peer-review kernel process.
