Add a new field, "prog_flags", and an initial flag value
BPF_F_STRICT_ALIGNMENT.

When set, the verifier will enforce strict pointer alignment
regardless of the setting of CONFIG_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS.

The verifier, in this mode, will also use a fixed value of "2" in
place of NET_IP_ALIGN.

This facilitates test cases that will exercise and validate this part
of the verifier even when run on architectures where alignment doesn't
matter.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
