coccinelle: alloc_cast: drop removed allocatorsgrafted
- pci_alloc_consistent() and pci_zalloc_consistent() were removed by commit 7968778914e5 ("PCI: Remove the deprecated "pci-dma-compat.h" API") - kmem_alloc() was removed by commit f078d4ea8276 ("xfs: convert kmem_alloc() to kmalloc()") - kmem_zalloc() was removed by commit 10634530f7ba ("xfs: convert kmem_zalloc() to kzalloc()") - kmem_zone_alloc() and kmem_zone_zalloc() were removed by commit bae633a4a283 ("xfs: remove xfs_zone_{alloc,zalloc} helpers") So drop them from the rules. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Sang-Heon Jeon <ekffu200098@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@inria.fr>

+eBPF Userspace API
+==================
+
+eBPF is a kernel mechanism to provide a sandboxed runtime environment in the
+Linux kernel for runtime extension and instrumentation without changing kernel
+source code or loading kernel modules. eBPF programs can be attached to various
+kernel subsystems, including networking, tracing and Linux security modules
+(LSM).
+
+For internal kernel documentation on eBPF, see Documentation/bpf/index.rst.
