[PATCH] kheaders: Move from proc to sysfs

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

 



The kheaders archive consisting of the kernel headers used for compiling
bpf programs is in /proc. However there is concern that moving it here
will make it permanent. Let us move it to /sys/kernel as discussed [1].
