Jakub Kicinski 8df0136376 docs: netdev: move the netdev-FAQ to the process pages
The documentation for the tip tree is really in quite a similar
spirit to the netdev-FAQ. Move the netdev-FAQ to the process docs
as well.

Toke Høiland-Jørgensen 1a7551f150 Documentation/bpf: Add documentation for BPF_PROG_RUN
This adds documentation for the BPF_PROG_RUN command; a short overview of
the command itself, and a more verbose description of the "live packet"
mode for XDP introduced in the previous commit.

Christoph Hellwig 5ca15b8a93 bpf, docs: Better document the extended instruction format
In addition to the normal 64-bit instruction encoding, eBPF also has
a single instruction that uses a second 64-bit bits for a second
immediate value.  Instead of only documenting this format deep down
in the document mention it in the instruction encoding section.

Dave Tucker 5931d9a3d0 bpf, docs: Fix ordering of bpf documentation
This commit fixes the display of the BPF documentation in the sidebar
when rendered as HTML.

Before this patch, the sidebar would render as follows for some
sections:

| BPF Documentation
  |- BPF Type Format (BTF)
    |- BPF Type Format (BTF)

This was due to creating a heading in index.rst followed by
a sphinx toctree, where the file referenced carries the same
title as the section heading.

To fix this I applied a pattern that has been established in other
subfolders of Documentation:

1. Re-wrote index.rst to have a single toctree
2. Split the sections out in to their own files

Additionally maps.rst and programs.rst make use of a glob pattern to
include map_* or prog_* rst files in their toctree, meaning future map
or program type documentation will be automatically included.
