[PATCH v3] samples/bpf: README: Update build dependencies required

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Update samples/bpf/README.rst to add pahole to the build dependencies
list. Add the reference to "Documentation/process/changes.rst" for
minimum version required so that the version required will not be
outdated in the future.
