BPF Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)

======================================



This document specifies the BPF instruction set architecture (ISA).

eBPF (which is no longer an acronym for anything), also commonly

referred to as BPF, is a technology with origins in the Linux kernel

that can run untrusted programs in a privileged context such as an

operating system kernel. This document specifies the BPF instruction

set architecture (ISA).
