Hitherto, these operations have been converted in user space to mask-and-xor operations on one register and two immediate values, and it is the latter which have been evaluated by the kernel. We add support for evaluating these operations directly in kernel space on one register and either an immediate value or a second register. Pablo made a few changes to the original patch: - EINVAL if NFTA_BITWISE_SREG2 is used with fast version. - Allow _AND,_OR,_XOR with _DATA != sizeof(u32) - Dump _SREG2 or _DATA with _AND,_OR,_XOR Signed-off-by: Jeremy Sowden <jeremy@azazel.net> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
