I need 4 tweets for the highlights in main #network merge for #Linux 5.10:

* #BPF programs can be shipped with the #kernel and loaded on boot via the User Mode Driver mechan. git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/0bc…

* sleepable BPF programs
git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/104…

(1/4) * BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery & support for using BTF within the kernel itself
git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/98b…

* add and consume TCP header options in BPF programs, allowing easy experim. and deployment-specific TCP option use
