 Helper functions
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
@@ -299,6 +301,18 @@  with the remaining registers being ignored.  The definition of a helper function
 is responsible for specifying the type (e.g., integer, pointer, etc.) of the value returned,
 the number of arguments, and the type of each argument.
 
+Runtime functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Runtime functions are like helper functions except that they are not specific
+to eBPF programs.  They use a different numbering space from helper functions,
+but otherwise the same considerations apply.
+
+eBPF functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+eBPF functions are functions exposed by the same eBPF program as the caller,
+and are referenced by offset from the call instruction, similar to ``BPF_JA``.
+A ``BPF_EXIT`` within the eBPF function will return to the caller.
