Daniel Borkmann 62c7989b24 bpf: allow b/h/w/dw access for bpf's cb in ctx
When structs are used to store temporary state in cb[] buffer that is
used with programs and among tail calls, then the generated code will
not always access the buffer in bpf_w chunks. We can ease programming
of it and let this act more natural by allowing for aligned b/h/w/dw
sized access for cb[] ctx member. Various test cases are attached as
well for the selftest suite. Potentially, this can also be reused for
other program types to pass data around.

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.
