A new link type, BPF_LINK_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS, was added to attach
struct_ops to links. (226bc6ae64) It would be helpful for users to
know which map is associated with the link.
The assumption was that every link is associated with a BPF program, but
this does not hold true for struct_ops. It would be better to display
map_id instead of prog_id for struct_ops links. However, some tools may
rely on the old assumption and need a prog_id. The discussion on the
mailing list suggests that tools should parse JSON format. We will maintain
the existing JSON format by adding a map_id without removing prog_id. As
for plain text format, we will remove prog_id from the header line and add
a map_id for struct_ops links.

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.
