To mitigate and correct the broken uapi for the BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type, introduce a user_pt_regs structure (similar to arm64) that exports parts from the beginnig of the pt_regs structure. The export must start with the beginning of the pt_regs structure because to correctly calculate BPF prologues for perf (regs_query_register_offset()). For BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program types, the BPF program is then passed a user_pt_regs structure. Note: Depending on future changes to the s390 pt_regs structure, consider the user_pt_regs structure to be stable for a particular kernel version only. (Of course, s390 tries to ensure keep it stable as much as possible.)

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.
