From: Russell King rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2018 22:51:27 +0000 Subject: ARM: net: bpf: correct stack layout documentation
From: Russell King rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk
commit 0005e55a79cfda88199e41a406a829c88d708c67 upstream.
The stack layout documentation incorrectly suggests that the BPF JIT scratch space starts immediately below BPF_FP. This is not correct, so let's fix the documentation to reflect reality.
