Currently, it is not possible to specify custom flags when building
samples/bpf. The flags are defined in TPROGS_CFLAGS/TPROGS_LDFLAGS
variables, however, when trying to override those from the make command,
compilation fails.
For example, when trying to build with PIE:
$ make -C samples/bpf TPROGS_CFLAGS="-fpie" TPROGS_LDFLAGS="-pie"
This is because samples/bpf/Makefile updates these variables, especially
appends include paths to TPROGS_CFLAGS and these updates are overridden
by setting the variables from the make command.
This patch introduces variables TPROGS_USER_CFLAGS/TPROGS_USER_LDFLAGS
for this purpose, which can be set from the make command and their
values are propagated to TPROGS_CFLAGS/TPROGS_LDFLAGS.

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.
