Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== Changes to bpf.h tend to clog up our build systems. The netdev/bpf build bot does incremental builds to save time (reusing the build directory to only rebuild changed objects). This is the rough breakdown of how many objects needs to be rebuilt based on file touched: kernel.h 40633 bpf.h 17881 bpf-cgroup.h 17875 skbuff.h 10696 bpf-netns.h 7604 netdevice.h 7452 filter.h 5003 sock.h 4959 tcp.h 4048 As the stats show touching bpf.h is _very_ expensive. Bulk of the objects get rebuilt because MM includes cgroup headers. Luckily bpf-cgroup.h does not fundamentally depend on bpf.h so we can break that dependency and reduce the number of objects. With the patches applied touching bpf.h causes 5019 objects to be rebuilt (17881 / 5019 = 3.56x). That's pretty much down to filter.h plus noise. v2: Try to make the new headers wider in scope. Collapse bpf-link and bpf-cgroup-types into one header, which may serve as "BPF kernel API" header in the future if needed. Rename bpf-cgroup-storage.h to bpf-inlines.h. Add a fix for the s390 build issue. v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211215061916.715513-1-kuba@kernel.org/ Merge bpf-includes.h into bpf.h. v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211215181231.1053479-1-kuba@kernel.org/ Change course - break off cgroup instead of breaking off bpf. v5: Add forward declaration of struct bpf_prog to perf_event.h when !CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL (kbuild bot). ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> |

README
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.
