Subject[PATCH bpf-next v2] bpf, doc: Update bpf_jit_enable limitation for CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
Date
When CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is enabled, kernel has limitation for
bpf_jit_enable, so it has fixed value 1 and we cannot set it to 2
for JIT opcode dumping; this patch is to update the doc for it.

+When CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is enabled, bpf_jit_enable is permanently set to 1 and
+setting any other value than that will return in failure. This is even the case for
+setting bpf_jit_enable to 2, since dumping the final JIT image into the kernel log
+is discouraged and introspection through bpftool (under tools/bpf/bpftool/) is the
+generally recommended approach instead.

In the kernel source tree under tools/bpf/, there's bpf_jit_disasm for
generating disassembly out of the kernel log's hexdump:
