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.

Once the JITed images for each function in a multi-function program
are generated after the first three JIT passes, we only need to fix
the target address for the branch instruction corresponding to each
bpf-to-bpf function call.
This introduces the following optimizations for reducing the work
done by the JIT compiler when handling multi-function programs:
[1] Instead of doing two extra passes to fix the bpf function calls,
do just one as that would be sufficient.
[2] During the extra pass, only overwrite the instruction sequences
for the bpf-to-bpf function calls as everything else would still
remain exactly the same. This also reduces the number of writes
to the JITed image.
[3] Do not regenerate the prologue and the epilogue during the extra
pass as that would be redundant.
