2018-04-23	bpf: Document sockmap '-target bpf' requirement for PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG	John Fastabend	1	-1/+9
	BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG programs use a 'void *' for both data and the data_end pointers. Additionally, the verifier ensures that every accesses into the values is a __u64 read. This correctly maps on to the BPF 64-bit architecture. However, to ensure that when building on 32bit architectures that clang uses correct types the '-target bpf' option _must_ be specified. To make this clear add a note to the Documentation.
