383f1a8df8 bpf/docs: Include blank lines between bullet points in bpf_devel_QA.rst
Commit 26a9b433cf ("bpf/docs: Document how to run CI without patch
submission") caused a warning to be generated when compiling the
documentation:

 > bpf_devel_QA.rst:55: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
 > bpf_devel_QA.rst:56: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line

This change fixes the problem by inserting the required blank lines.

26a9b433cf bpf/docs: Document how to run CI without patch submission
This change documents the process for running the BPF CI before
submitting a patch to the upstream mailing list, similar to what happens
if a patch is send to bpf@vger.kernel.org: it builds kernel and
selftests and runs the latter on different architecture (but it notably
does not cover stylistic checks such as cover letter verification).

Running BPF CI this way can help achieve better test coverage ahead of
patch submission than merely running locally (say, using
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/vmtest.sh), as additional architectures may
be covered as well.

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.

350a62ca06 bpf: Document the pahole release info related to libbpf in bpf_devel_QA.rst
pahole starts to use libbpf definitions and APIs since v1.13 after the
commit 21507cd3e97b ("pahole: add libbpf as submodule under lib/bpf").
It works well with the git repository because the libbpf submodule will
use "git submodule update --init --recursive" to update.

Unfortunately, the default github release source code does not contain
libbpf submodule source code and this will cause build issues, the tarball
from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/ is same with
github, you can get the source tarball with corresponding libbpf submodule
codes from

https://fedorapeople.org/~acme/dwarves

This change documents the above issues to give more information so that
we can get the tarball from the right place, early discussion is here:

64ef3ddfa9 bpf, doc: Fix some invalid links in bpf_devel_QA.rst
There exist some errors "404 Not Found" when I click the link
of "MAINTAINERS" [1], "samples/bpf/" [2] and "selftests" [3]
in the documentation "HOWTO interact with BPF subsystem" [4].

As Alexei Starovoitov suggested, just remove "MAINTAINERS" and
"samples/bpf/" links and use correct link of "selftests".

628add78b0 bpf, docs: Update build procedure for manually compiling LLVM and Clang
The current LLVM and Clang build procedure in samples/bpf/README.rst is
out of date. See below that the links are not accessible any more.

  $ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
  Cloning into 'llvm'...
  fatal: unable to access 'http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git/': Maximum (20) redirects followed
  $ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
  Cloning into 'clang'...
  fatal: unable to access 'http://llvm.org/git/clang.git/': Maximum (20) redirects followed

The LLVM community has adopted new ways to build the compiler. There are
different ways to build LLVM and Clang, the Clang Getting Started page [1]
has one way. As Yonghong said, it is better to copy the build procedure
in Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst to keep consistent.

I verified the procedure and it is proved to be feasible, so we should
update README.rst to reflect the reality. At the same time, update the
related comment in Makefile.

Additionally, as Fangrui said, the dir llvm-project/llvm/build/install is
not used, BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF is the default option [2], so also change
Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst together.

At last, we recommend that developers who want the fastest incremental
builds use the Ninja build system [1], you can find it in your system's
package manager, usually the package is ninja or ninja-build [3], so add
ninja to build dependencies suggested by Nathan.
