This project and GitHub repository is meant for speeding up Linux Kernel development work, this also includes Documentation. The directory layout tries to keep close to the Kernel directory layout. This helps when/if upstreaming the work.
This prototype-kernel was primarily meant for prototyping kernel modules (see blogpost_).
UPDATE: See XDP-tutorial_ if you want to learn eBPF-coding,
and not depend on kernel tree.
The Linux kernel tree also contains some eBPF samples which this
github repo is also shadowing for easier prototyping, see directory
samples/bpf/.
This directory samples/bpf/_ maintains a different Makefile (than
depending on the kernels) and maintains a copy of some bpf-header
files to ease compiling outside the kernel source tree.
Simply run 'make' in that directory to build the bpf samples.
This also covers Kernel Documentation which is being auto-generated
by Read The Docs (based on reStructuredText files and Sphinx_
to generate pretty documentation).
