Indeed :)

I changed it to simply be:

.. note:: The order of the fields is irrelevant.

Simplified and modernized this section as:


Loading
-------

eBPF programs can be loaded with the :manpage:`bpf(2)` syscall's
``BPF_PROG_LOAD`` operation:

.. code-block:: c

	struct bpf_object *obj;

	obj = bpf_object__open("./my_prog.o");
	bpf_object__load(obj);

This can be simplified by using a skeleton header generated by ``bpftool``:

.. code-block:: console

	# bpftool gen skeleton my_prog.o > my_prog.skel.h

and the program can be loaded by including ``my_prog.skel.h`` and using
the generated helper, ``my_prog__open_and_load``.

Attachment to LSM Hooks
-----------------------

The LSM allows attachment of eBPF programs as LSM hooks using :manpage:`bpf(2)`
syscall's ``BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN`` operation or more simply by
using the libbpf helper ``bpf_program__attach_lsm``.

The program can be detached from the LSM hook by *destroying* the ``link``
link returned by ``bpf_program__attach_lsm`` using ``bpf_link__destroy``.

One can also use the helpers generated in ``my_prog.skel.h`` i.e.
``my_prog__attach`` for attachment and ``my_prog__destroy`` for cleaning up.

</end>

If this looks okay, I will send a v8 with this updated and other
fixes.

Correct, updated. Thanks!

Oops, I incorrectly picked it up from link->destroy(link); and wrote
something stupid.

Updated in the snippet posted above.
