Hi Ingo, David, posting whole thing again as RFC to get feedback on syscall only. If syscall bpf(int cmd, union bpf_attr *attr, unsigned int size) is ok, I'll split them into small chunks as requested and will repost without RFC.IMO it's much easier to review a syscall if we just look at a specification of what it does. The code is, in some sense, secondary.
'specification of what it does'... hmm, you mean beyond what's there in commit logs and in Documentation/networking/filter.txt ? Aren't samples at the end give an idea on 'what it does'? I'm happy to add 'specification', I just don't understand yet what it suppose to talk about beyond what's already written. I understand that the patches are missing explanation on 'why' the syscall is being added, but I don't think it's what you're asking...
