Hello.

This patch set adds ability to set default values for
kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disable, net.core.bpf_jit_harden,
net.core.bpf_jit_kallsyms sysctl knobs as well as option to override
them via a boot-time kernel parameter.  

Commits log not only should explain 'what' is being done by the patch,
but 'why' as well.  

Some BPF sysctl knobs affect the loading of BPF programs, and during
system boot/init stages these sysctls are not yet configured. A
concrete example is systemd, that has implemented loading of BPF
programs.

Thus, to allow controlling these setting at early boot, this patch set
adds the ability to change the default setting of these sysctl knobs
as well as option to override them via a boot-time kernel parameter
(in order to avoid rebuilding kernel each time a need of changing these
defaults arises).

The sysctl knobs in question are kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disable,
net.core.bpf_jit_harden, and net.core.bpf_jit_kallsyms.

Hi Eugene,

You have to resend the entire patchset with this explanation in the
cover-letter.  Your old patchset have been dropped from patchwork[1]
due to being marked with "Changes Requested".

Please remember to give it a "V2" tag and also specify which git tree
you are targeting[2], like [PATCH bpf-next V2].
