Linux kernel source tree

Add the initial XDP support to the igc driver. For now, only XDP_PASS,
XDP_DROP, XDP_ABORTED actions are supported. Upcoming patches will add
support for the remaining XDP actions.
XDP configuration helpers are defined in a new file, igc_xdp.c. These
helpers are utilized in igc_main.c to implement the ndo_bpf callback.
XDP-related code that belongs to the driver's hot path is landed in
igc_main.c.
By default, the driver uses Rx buffers with 2 KB size. When XDP is
enabled, it uses larger buffers so we have enough space to accommodate
the headroom and tailroom required by XDP infrastructure. Also, the
driver doesn't support XDP functionality with frames that span over
multiple buffers so jumbo frames are not allowed for now.
The approach implemented follows the approach implemented in other Intel
drivers as much as possible for the sake of consistency across the
drivers.
Quick comment regarding igc_build_skb(): this patch doesn't touch it
because the function is never called. It seems its support is
incomplete/in progress. The function was added by commit

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
