This patch set splits BPF out of core networking into generic component patch #1 splits filter.c into two logical pieces: generic BPF core and socket filters. It only moves functions around. No real changes.
patch #2 adds hidden CONFIG_BPF that seccomp/tracing can select The main value of the patch is not a NET separation, but rather logical boundary between generic BPF core and socket filtering. All socket specific code stays in net/core/filter.c and kernel/bpf/core.c is for generic BPF infrastructure (both classic and internal). Note that CONFIG_BPF_JIT is still under NET, so NET-less configs cannot use BPF JITs yet. This can be cleaned up in the future. Also it seems to makes sense to split up filter.h into generic and socket specific as well to cleanup the boundary further. Tested with several NET and NET-less configs on arm and x86 V1->V2: rebase on top of net-next split filter.c into kernel/bpf/core.c instead of net/bpf/core.c Alexei Starovoitov (2): net: filter: split filter.c into two files net: filter: split BPF out of core networking arch/Kconfig | 6 +- include/linux/filter.h | 2 + kernel/Makefile | 1 + kernel/bpf/Makefile | 5 + kernel/bpf/core.c | 1063 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ net/Kconfig | 1 + net/core/filter.c | 1023 +--------------------------------------------- 7 files changed, 1079 insertions(+), 1022 deletions(-) create mode 100644 kernel/bpf/Makefile create mode 100644 kernel/bpf/core.c -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
