This option specifies that the assembler should emit little-endian
eBPF.

@node BPF-Chars
@subsection Special Characters

@cindex line comment character, BPF
@cindex BPF line comment character
The presence of a @samp{;} on a line indicates the start of a comment
that extends to the end of the current line.  If a @samp{#} appears as
the first character of a line, the whole line is treated as a comment.

@cindex statement separator, BPF
Statements and assembly directives are separated by newlines.

@node BPF-Regs
@subsection Register Names

@cindex BPF register names
@cindex register names, BPF
The eBPF processor provides ten general-purpose 64-bit registers,
which are read-write, and a read-only frame pointer register:

@table @samp
@item %r0 .. %r9
General-purpose registers.
@item %r10
Frame pointer register.
@end table

Some registers have additional names, to reflect their role in the
eBPF ABI:

@table @samp
@item %a
This is @samp{%r0}.
@item %ctx
This is @samp{%r6}.
@item %fp
This is @samp{%r10}.
@end table

@node BPF-Pseudo-Maps
@subsection Pseudo Maps

@cindex pseudo map fd, BPF
The @samp{LDDW} instruction can take a literal pseudo map file
descriptor as its second argument.  This uses the syntax
@samp{%map_fd(N)} where @samp{N} is a signed number.

For example, to load the address of the pseudo map with file
descriptor @samp{2} in register @samp{r1} we would do:

@smallexample
        lddw %r1, %map_fd(2)
@end smallexample

@node BPF Directives
@section Machine Directives

@cindex machine directives, BPF

The BPF version of @code{@value{AS}} supports the following additional
machine directives:

@table @code
@cindex @code{half} directive, BPF
@item .word
The @code{.half} directive produces a 16 bit value.

@cindex @code{word} directive, BPF
@item .word
The @code{.word} directive produces a 32 bit value.

@cindex @code{dword} directive, BPF
@item .dword
The @code{.dword} directive produces a 64 bit value.
@end table

@file{Documentation/networking/filter.txt} in the Linux kernel source
tree for more information.

for swapping 64-bit quantities and another for 32-bit quantities.
