 bpf_jit_enable
 --------------
 
-This enables Berkeley Packet Filter Just in Time compiler.
-Currently supported on x86_64 architecture, bpf_jit provides a framework
-to speed packet filtering, the one used by tcpdump/libpcap for example.
+This enables the BPF Just in Time (JIT) compiler. BPF is a flexible
+and efficient infrastructure allowing to execute bytecode at various
+hook points. It is used in a number of Linux kernel subsystems such
+as networking (e.g. XDP, tc), tracing (e.g. kprobes, uprobes, tracepoints)
+and security (e.g. seccomp). LLVM has a BPF back end that can compile
+restricted C into a sequence of BPF instructions. After program load
+through bpf(2) and passing a verifier in the kernel, a JIT will then
+translate these BPF proglets into native CPU instructions. There are
+two flavors of JITs, the newer eBPF JIT currently supported on:
+  - x86_64
+  - arm64
+  - ppc64
+  - sparc64
+  - mips64
+  - s390x
+
+And the older cBPF JIT supported on the following archs:
+  - arm
+  - mips
+  - ppc
+  - sparc
+
+eBPF JITs are a superset of cBPF JITs, meaning the kernel will
+migrate cBPF instructions into eBPF instructions and then JIT
+compile them transparently. Older cBPF JITs can only translate
+tcpdump filters, seccomp rules, etc, but not mentioned eBPF
+programs loaded through bpf(2).
