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.

The buffer passed to bpf_obj_get_info_by_fd() should be initialized to zeros. Kernel will enforce that to guarantee we can safely extend info structures in the future. Making the bpf_obj_get_info_by_fd() call in libbpf perform the zeroing is problematic, however, since some members of the info structures may need to be initialized by the callers (for instance pointers to buffers to which kernel is to dump translated and jited images). Remove the zeroing and fix up the in-tree callers before any kernel has been released with this code. As Daniel points out this seems to be the intended operation anyway, since commit 95b9afd3 ("bpf: Test for bpf ID") is itself setting the buffer pointers before calling bpf_obj_get_info_by_fd().
