Message-Id: <20180808123340.18446-1-tklauser@distanz.ch> Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2018 14:33:40 +0200 From: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@...tanz.ch> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: stephen@...workplumber.org, daniel@...earbox.net Subject: [PATCH iproute2] tc: bpf: update list of archs with eBPF support in manpage Update the list of architectures supporting eBPF JIT as of Linux 4.18. Also mention the Linux version where support for a particular architecture was introduced. Finally, reformat the list of architectures as a bullet list in order to make it more readable.

The kernel internally transforms cBPF expressions into eBPF expressions and executes the latter. Execution of them can be performed in an interpreter or at setup time, they can be just-in-time compiled (JIT'ed) to run as -native machine code.
