Merge branch 'bpf-uapi-helper-doc'

Quentin Monnet says:

====================
eBPF helper functions can be called from within eBPF programs to perform
a variety of tasks that would be otherwise hard or impossible to do with
eBPF itself. There is a growing number of such helper functions in the
kernel, but documentation is scarce. The main user space header file
does contain a short commented description of most helpers, but it is
somewhat outdated and not complete. It is more a "cheat sheet" than a
real documentation accessible to new eBPF developers.

This commit attempts to improve the situation by replacing the existing
overview for the helpers with a more developed description. Furthermore,
a Python script is added to generate a manual page for eBPF helpers. The
workflow is the following, and requires the rst2man utility:

    $ ./scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py \
            --filename include/uapi/linux/bpf.h > /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst
    $ rst2man /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst > /tmp/bpf-helpers.7
    $ man /tmp/bpf-helpers.7

The objective is to keep all documentation related to the helpers in a
single place, and to be able to generate from here a manual page that
could be packaged in the man-pages repository and shipped with most
distributions.

Additionally, parsing the prototypes of the helper functions could
hopefully be reused, with a different Printer object, to generate
header files needed in some eBPF-related projects.

Regarding the description of each helper, it comprises several items:

- The function prototype.
- A description of the function and of its arguments (except for a
  couple of cases, when there are no arguments and the return value
  makes the function usage really obvious).
- A description of return values (if not void).

Additional items such as the list of compatible eBPF program and map
types for each helper, Linux kernel version that introduced the helper,
GPL-only restriction, and commit hash could be added in the future, but
it was decided on the mailing list to leave them aside for now.

For several helpers, descriptions are inspired (at times, nearly copied)
from the commit logs introducing them in the kernel--Many thanks to
their respective authors! Some sentences were also adapted from comments
from the reviews, thanks to the reviewers as well. Descriptions were
completed as much as possible, the objective being to have something easily
accessible even for people just starting with eBPF. There is probably a bit
more work to do in this direction for some helpers.

Some RST formatting is used in the descriptions (not in function
prototypes, to keep them readable, but the Python script provided in
order to generate the RST for the manual page does add formatting to
prototypes, to produce something pretty) to get "bold" and "italics" in
manual pages. Hopefully, the descriptions in bpf.h file remains
perfectly readable. Note that the few trailing white spaces are
intentional, removing them would break paragraphs for rst2man.

The descriptions should ideally be updated each time someone adds a new
helper, or updates the behaviour (new socket option supported, ...) or
the interface (new flags available, ...) of existing ones.

To ease the review process, the documentation has been split into several
patches.

v3 -> v4:
- Add a patch (#9) for newly added BPF helpers.
- Add a patch (#10) to update UAPI bpf.h version under tools/.
- Use SPDX tag in Python script.
- Several fixes on man page header and footer, and helpers documentation.
  Please refer to individual patches for details.

RFC v2 -> PATCH v3:
Several fixes on man page header and footer, and helpers documentation.
Please refer to individual patches for details.

RFC v1 -> RFC v2:
- Remove "For" (compatible program and map types), "Since" (minimal
  Linux kernel version required), "GPL only" sections and commit hashes
  for the helpers.
- Add comment on top of the description list to explain how this
  documentation is supposed to be processed.
- Update Python script accordingly (remove the same sections, and remove
  paragraphs on program types and GPL restrictions from man page
  header).
- Split series into several patches.

+ *
+ * int bpf_trace_printk(const char *fmt, u32 fmt_size, ...)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		This helper is a "printk()-like" facility for debugging. It
+ * 		prints a message defined by format *fmt* (of size *fmt_size*)
+ * 		to file *\/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace* from DebugFS, if
+ * 		available. It can take up to three additional **u64**
+ * 		arguments (as an eBPF helpers, the total number of arguments is
+ * 		limited to five).
+ *
+ * 		Each time the helper is called, it appends a line to the trace.
+ * 		The format of the trace is customizable, and the exact output
+ * 		one will get depends on the options set in
+ * 		*\/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_options* (see also the
+ * 		*README* file under the same directory). However, it usually
+ * 		defaults to something like:
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			telnet-470   [001] .N.. 419421.045894: 0x00000001: <formatted msg>
+ *
+ * 		In the above:
+ *
+ * 			* ``telnet`` is the name of the current task.
+ * 			* ``470`` is the PID of the current task.
+ * 			* ``001`` is the CPU number on which the task is
+ * 			  running.
+ * 			* In ``.N..``, each character refers to a set of
+ * 			  options (whether irqs are enabled, scheduling
+ * 			  options, whether hard/softirqs are running, level of
+ * 			  preempt_disabled respectively). **N** means that
+ * 			  **TIF_NEED_RESCHED** and **PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED**
+ * 			  are set.
+ * 			* ``419421.045894`` is a timestamp.
+ * 			* ``0x00000001`` is a fake value used by BPF for the
+ * 			  instruction pointer register.
+ * 			* ``<formatted msg>`` is the message formatted with
+ * 			  *fmt*.
+ *
+ * 		The conversion specifiers supported by *fmt* are similar, but
+ * 		more limited than for printk(). They are **%d**, **%i**,
+ * 		**%u**, **%x**, **%ld**, **%li**, **%lu**, **%lx**, **%lld**,
+ * 		**%lli**, **%llu**, **%llx**, **%p**, **%s**. No modifier (size
+ * 		of field, padding with zeroes, etc.) is available, and the
+ * 		helper will return **-EINVAL** (but print nothing) if it
+ * 		encounters an unknown specifier.
+ *
+ * 		Also, note that **bpf_trace_printk**\ () is slow, and should
+ * 		only be used for debugging purposes. For this reason, a notice
+ * 		bloc (spanning several lines) is printed to kernel logs and
+ * 		states that the helper should not be used "for production use"
+ * 		the first time this helper is used (or more precisely, when
+ * 		**trace_printk**\ () buffers are allocated). For passing values
+ * 		to user space, perf events should be preferred.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The number of bytes written to the buffer, or a negative error
+ * 		in case of failure.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_prandom_u32(void)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Get a pseudo-random number.
+ *
+ * 		From a security point of view, this helper uses its own
+ * 		pseudo-random internal state, and cannot be used to infer the
+ * 		seed of other random functions in the kernel. However, it is
+ * 		essential to note that the generator used by the helper is not
+ * 		cryptographically secure.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		A random 32-bit unsigned value.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_smp_processor_id(void)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Get the SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) processor id. Note that
+ * 		all programs run with preemption disabled, which means that the
+ * 		SMP processor id is stable during all the execution of the
+ * 		program.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The SMP id of the processor running the program.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_store_bytes(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, const void *from, u32 len, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Store *len* bytes from address *from* into the packet
+ * 		associated to *skb*, at *offset*. *flags* are a combination of
+ * 		**BPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM** (automatically recompute the
+ * 		checksum for the packet after storing the bytes) and
+ * 		**BPF_F_INVALIDATE_HASH** (set *skb*\ **->hash**, *skb*\
+ * 		**->swhash** and *skb*\ **->l4hash** to 0).
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_l3_csum_replace(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, u64 from, u64 to, u64 size)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Recompute the layer 3 (e.g. IP) checksum for the packet
+ * 		associated to *skb*. Computation is incremental, so the helper
+ * 		must know the former value of the header field that was
+ * 		modified (*from*), the new value of this field (*to*), and the
+ * 		number of bytes (2 or 4) for this field, stored in *size*.
+ * 		Alternatively, it is possible to store the difference between
+ * 		the previous and the new values of the header field in *to*, by
+ * 		setting *from* and *size* to 0. For both methods, *offset*
+ * 		indicates the location of the IP checksum within the packet.
+ *
+ * 		This helper works in combination with **bpf_csum_diff**\ (),
+ * 		which does not update the checksum in-place, but offers more
+ * 		flexibility and can handle sizes larger than 2 or 4 for the
+ * 		checksum to update.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_l4_csum_replace(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, u64 from, u64 to, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Recompute the layer 4 (e.g. TCP, UDP or ICMP) checksum for the
+ * 		packet associated to *skb*. Computation is incremental, so the
+ * 		helper must know the former value of the header field that was
+ * 		modified (*from*), the new value of this field (*to*), and the
+ * 		number of bytes (2 or 4) for this field, stored on the lowest
+ * 		four bits of *flags*. Alternatively, it is possible to store
+ * 		the difference between the previous and the new values of the
+ * 		header field in *to*, by setting *from* and the four lowest
+ * 		bits of *flags* to 0. For both methods, *offset* indicates the
+ * 		location of the IP checksum within the packet. In addition to
+ * 		the size of the field, *flags* can be added (bitwise OR) actual
+ * 		flags. With **BPF_F_MARK_MANGLED_0**, a null checksum is left
+ * 		untouched (unless **BPF_F_MARK_ENFORCE** is added as well), and
+ * 		for updates resulting in a null checksum the value is set to
+ * 		**CSUM_MANGLED_0** instead. Flag **BPF_F_PSEUDO_HDR** indicates
+ * 		the checksum is to be computed against a pseudo-header.
+ *
+ * 		This helper works in combination with **bpf_csum_diff**\ (),
+ * 		which does not update the checksum in-place, but offers more
+ * 		flexibility and can handle sizes larger than 2 or 4 for the
+ * 		checksum to update.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_tail_call(void *ctx, struct bpf_map *prog_array_map, u32 index)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		This special helper is used to trigger a "tail call", or in
+ * 		other words, to jump into another eBPF program. The same stack
+ * 		frame is used (but values on stack and in registers for the
+ * 		caller are not accessible to the callee). This mechanism allows
+ * 		for program chaining, either for raising the maximum number of
+ * 		available eBPF instructions, or to execute given programs in
+ * 		conditional blocks. For security reasons, there is an upper
+ * 		limit to the number of successive tail calls that can be
+ * 		performed.
+ *
+ * 		Upon call of this helper, the program attempts to jump into a
+ * 		program referenced at index *index* in *prog_array_map*, a
+ * 		special map of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY**, and passes
+ * 		*ctx*, a pointer to the context.
+ *
+ * 		If the call succeeds, the kernel immediately runs the first
+ * 		instruction of the new program. This is not a function call,
+ * 		and it never returns to the previous program. If the call
+ * 		fails, then the helper has no effect, and the caller continues
+ * 		to run its subsequent instructions. A call can fail if the
+ * 		destination program for the jump does not exist (i.e. *index*
+ * 		is superior to the number of entries in *prog_array_map*), or
+ * 		if the maximum number of tail calls has been reached for this
+ * 		chain of programs. This limit is defined in the kernel by the
+ * 		macro **MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT** (not accessible to user space),
+ * 		which is currently set to 32.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_clone_redirect(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 ifindex, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Clone and redirect the packet associated to *skb* to another
+ * 		net device of index *ifindex*. Both ingress and egress
+ * 		interfaces can be used for redirection. The **BPF_F_INGRESS**
+ * 		value in *flags* is used to make the distinction (ingress path
+ * 		is selected if the flag is present, egress path otherwise).
+ * 		This is the only flag supported for now.
+ *
+ * 		In comparison with **bpf_redirect**\ () helper,
+ * 		**bpf_clone_redirect**\ () has the associated cost of
+ * 		duplicating the packet buffer, but this can be executed out of
+ * 		the eBPF program. Conversely, **bpf_redirect**\ () is more
+ * 		efficient, but it is handled through an action code where the
+ * 		redirection happens only after the eBPF program has returned.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
  *
  * u64 bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(void)
- *     Return: current->tgid << 32 | current->pid
+ * 	Return
+ * 		A 64-bit integer containing the current tgid and pid, and

+ * 		*current_task*\ **->pid**.

- *     @opt: pointer to raw tunnel option data
- *     @size: size of @opt
- *     Return: 0 on success or negative error
- *
- * int bpf_skb_change_proto(skb, proto, flags)
- *     Change protocol of the skb. Currently supported is v4 -> v6,
- *     v6 -> v4 transitions. The helper will also resize the skb. eBPF
- *     program is expected to fill the new headers via skb_store_bytes
- *     and lX_csum_replace.
- *     @skb: pointer to skb
- *     @proto: new skb->protocol type
- *     @flags: reserved
- *     Return: 0 on success or negative error

- *     Change packet type of skb.
- *     @skb: pointer to skb
- *     @type: new skb->pkt_type type
- *     Return: 0 on success or negative error
- *
- * int bpf_skb_under_cgroup(skb, map, index)
- *     Check cgroup2 membership of skb
- *     @skb: pointer to skb
- *     @map: pointer to bpf_map in BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY type
- *     @index: index of the cgroup in the bpf_map
- *     Return:
- *       == 0 skb failed the cgroup2 descendant test
- *       == 1 skb succeeded the cgroup2 descendant test
- *        < 0 error
- *
- * u32 bpf_get_hash_recalc(skb)
- *     Retrieve and possibly recalculate skb->hash.
- *     @skb: pointer to skb
- *     Return: hash
+ * 	Return
+ * 		A 64-bit integer containing the current GID and UID, and
+ * 		created as such: *current_gid* **<< 32 \|** *current_uid*.
+ *
+ * int bpf_get_current_comm(char *buf, u32 size_of_buf)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Copy the **comm** attribute of the current task into *buf* of
+ * 		*size_of_buf*. The **comm** attribute contains the name of
+ * 		the executable (excluding the path) for the current task. The
+ * 		*size_of_buf* must be strictly positive. On success, the
+ * 		helper makes sure that the *buf* is NUL-terminated. On failure,
+ * 		it is filled with zeroes.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_cgroup_classid(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Retrieve the classid for the current task, i.e. for the net_cls
+ * 		cgroup to which *skb* belongs.
+ *
+ * 		This helper can be used on TC egress path, but not on ingress.
+ *
+ * 		The net_cls cgroup provides an interface to tag network packets
+ * 		based on a user-provided identifier for all traffic coming from
+ * 		the tasks belonging to the related cgroup. See also the related
+ * 		kernel documentation, available from the Linux sources in file
+ * 		*Documentation/cgroup-v1/net_cls.txt*.
+ *
+ * 		The Linux kernel has two versions for cgroups: there are
+ * 		cgroups v1 and cgroups v2. Both are available to users, who can
+ * 		use a mixture of them, but note that the net_cls cgroup is for
+ * 		cgroup v1 only. This makes it incompatible with BPF programs
+ * 		run on cgroups, which is a cgroup-v2-only feature (a socket can
+ * 		only hold data for one version of cgroups at a time).
+ *
+ * 		This helper is only available is the kernel was compiled with
+ * 		the **CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_CLASSID** configuration option set to
+ * 		"**y**" or to "**m**".
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The classid, or 0 for the default unconfigured classid.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_vlan_push(struct sk_buff *skb, __be16 vlan_proto, u16 vlan_tci)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Push a *vlan_tci* (VLAN tag control information) of protocol
+ * 		*vlan_proto* to the packet associated to *skb*, then update
+ * 		the checksum. Note that if *vlan_proto* is different from
+ * 		**ETH_P_8021Q** and **ETH_P_8021AD**, it is considered to
+ * 		be **ETH_P_8021Q**.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_vlan_pop(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Pop a VLAN header from the packet associated to *skb*.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_tunnel_key *key, u32 size, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Get tunnel metadata. This helper takes a pointer *key* to an
+ * 		empty **struct bpf_tunnel_key** of **size**, that will be
+ * 		filled with tunnel metadata for the packet associated to *skb*.
+ * 		The *flags* can be set to **BPF_F_TUNINFO_IPV6**, which
+ * 		indicates that the tunnel is based on IPv6 protocol instead of
+ * 		IPv4.
+ *
+ * 		The **struct bpf_tunnel_key** is an object that generalizes the
+ * 		principal parameters used by various tunneling protocols into a
+ * 		single struct. This way, it can be used to easily make a
+ * 		decision based on the contents of the encapsulation header,
+ * 		"summarized" in this struct. In particular, it holds the IP
+ * 		address of the remote end (IPv4 or IPv6, depending on the case)
+ * 		in *key*\ **->remote_ipv4** or *key*\ **->remote_ipv6**. Also,
+ * 		this struct exposes the *key*\ **->tunnel_id**, which is
+ * 		generally mapped to a VNI (Virtual Network Identifier), making
+ * 		it programmable together with the **bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key**\
+ * 		() helper.
+ *
+ * 		Let's imagine that the following code is part of a program
+ * 		attached to the TC ingress interface, on one end of a GRE
+ * 		tunnel, and is supposed to filter out all messages coming from
+ * 		remote ends with IPv4 address other than 10.0.0.1:
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			int ret;
+ * 			struct bpf_tunnel_key key = {};
+ * 			
+ * 			ret = bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(skb, &key, sizeof(key), 0);
+ * 			if (ret < 0)
+ * 				return TC_ACT_SHOT;	// drop packet
+ * 			
+ * 			if (key.remote_ipv4 != 0x0a000001)
+ * 				return TC_ACT_SHOT;	// drop packet
+ * 			
+ * 			return TC_ACT_OK;		// accept packet
+ *
+ * 		This interface can also be used with all encapsulation devices
+ * 		that can operate in "collect metadata" mode: instead of having
+ * 		one network device per specific configuration, the "collect
+ * 		metadata" mode only requires a single device where the
+ * 		configuration can be extracted from this helper.
+ *
+ * 		This can be used together with various tunnels such as VXLan,
+ * 		Geneve, GRE or IP in IP (IPIP).
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_tunnel_key *key, u32 size, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Populate tunnel metadata for packet associated to *skb.* The
+ * 		tunnel metadata is set to the contents of *key*, of *size*. The
+ * 		*flags* can be set to a combination of the following values:
+ *
+ * 		**BPF_F_TUNINFO_IPV6**
+ * 			Indicate that the tunnel is based on IPv6 protocol
+ * 			instead of IPv4.
+ * 		**BPF_F_ZERO_CSUM_TX**
+ * 			For IPv4 packets, add a flag to tunnel metadata
+ * 			indicating that checksum computation should be skipped
+ * 			and checksum set to zeroes.
+ * 		**BPF_F_DONT_FRAGMENT**
+ * 			Add a flag to tunnel metadata indicating that the
+ * 			packet should not be fragmented.
+ * 		**BPF_F_SEQ_NUMBER**
+ * 			Add a flag to tunnel metadata indicating that a
+ * 			sequence number should be added to tunnel header before
+ * 			sending the packet. This flag was added for GRE
+ * 			encapsulation, but might be used with other protocols
+ * 			as well in the future.
+ *
+ * 		Here is a typical usage on the transmit path:
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			struct bpf_tunnel_key key;
+ * 			     populate key ...
+ * 			bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(skb, &key, sizeof(key), 0);
+ * 			bpf_clone_redirect(skb, vxlan_dev_ifindex, 0);
+ *
+ * 		See also the description of the **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key**\ ()
+ * 		helper for additional information.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * u64 bpf_perf_event_read(struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Read the value of a perf event counter. This helper relies on a
+ * 		*map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY**. The nature of
+ * 		the perf event counter is selected when *map* is updated with
+ * 		perf event file descriptors. The *map* is an array whose size
+ * 		is the number of available CPUs, and each cell contains a value
+ * 		relative to one CPU. The value to retrieve is indicated by
+ * 		*flags*, that contains the index of the CPU to look up, masked
+ * 		with **BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**. Alternatively, *flags* can be set to
+ * 		**BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU** to indicate that the value for the
+ * 		current CPU should be retrieved.
+ *
+ * 		Note that before Linux 4.13, only hardware perf event can be
+ * 		retrieved.
+ *
+ * 		Also, be aware that the newer helper
+ * 		**bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () is recommended over
+ * 		**bpf_perf_event_read*\ () in general. The latter has some ABI
+ * 		quirks where error and counter value are used as a return code
+ * 		(which is wrong to do since ranges may overlap). This issue is
+ * 		fixed with bpf_perf_event_read_value(), which at the same time
+ * 		provides more features over the **bpf_perf_event_read**\ ()
+ * 		interface. Please refer to the description of
+ * 		**bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () for details.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The value of the perf event counter read from the map, or a
+ * 		negative error code in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_redirect(u32 ifindex, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Redirect the packet to another net device of index *ifindex*.
+ * 		This helper is somewhat similar to **bpf_clone_redirect**\
+ * 		(), except that the packet is not cloned, which provides
+ * 		increased performance.
+ *
+ * 		Except for XDP, both ingress and egress interfaces can be used
+ * 		for redirection. The **BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used
+ * 		to make the distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag
+ * 		is present, egress path otherwise). Currently, XDP only
+ * 		supports redirection to the egress interface, and accepts no
+ * 		flag at all.
+ *
+ * 		The same effect can be attained with the more generic
+ * 		**bpf_redirect_map**\ (), which requires specific maps to be
+ * 		used but offers better performance.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		For XDP, the helper returns **XDP_REDIRECT** on success or
+ * 		**XDP_ABORTED** on error. For other program types, the values
+ * 		are **TC_ACT_REDIRECT** on success or **TC_ACT_SHOT** on
+ * 		error.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_route_realm(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Retrieve the realm or the route, that is to say the
+ * 		**tclassid** field of the destination for the *skb*. The
+ * 		indentifier retrieved is a user-provided tag, similar to the
+ * 		one used with the net_cls cgroup (see description for
+ * 		**bpf_get_cgroup_classid**\ () helper), but here this tag is
+ * 		held by a route (a destination entry), not by a task.
+ *
+ * 		Retrieving this identifier works with the clsact TC egress hook
+ * 		(see also **tc-bpf(8)**), or alternatively on conventional
+ * 		classful egress qdiscs, but not on TC ingress path. In case of
+ * 		clsact TC egress hook, this has the advantage that, internally,
+ * 		the destination entry has not been dropped yet in the transmit
+ * 		path. Therefore, the destination entry does not need to be
+ * 		artificially held via **netif_keep_dst**\ () for a classful
+ * 		qdisc until the *skb* is freed.
+ *
+ * 		This helper is available only if the kernel was compiled with
+ * 		**CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_CLASSID** configuration option.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The realm of the route for the packet associated to *skb*, or 0
+ * 		if none was found.
+ *
+ * int bpf_perf_event_output(struct pt_reg *ctx, struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags, void *data, u64 size)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Write raw *data* blob into a special BPF perf event held by
+ * 		*map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY**. This perf
+ * 		event must have the following attributes: **PERF_SAMPLE_RAW**
+ * 		as **sample_type**, **PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE** as **type**, and
+ * 		**PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT** as **config**.
+ *
+ * 		The *flags* are used to indicate the index in *map* for which
+ * 		the value must be put, masked with **BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**.
+ * 		Alternatively, *flags* can be set to **BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU**
+ * 		to indicate that the index of the current CPU core should be
+ * 		used.
+ *
+ * 		The value to write, of *size*, is passed through eBPF stack and
+ * 		pointed by *data*.
+ *
+ * 		The context of the program *ctx* needs also be passed to the
+ * 		helper.
+ *
+ * 		On user space, a program willing to read the values needs to
+ * 		call **perf_event_open**\ () on the perf event (either for
+ * 		one or for all CPUs) and to store the file descriptor into the
+ * 		*map*. This must be done before the eBPF program can send data
+ * 		into it. An example is available in file
+ * 		*samples/bpf/trace_output_user.c* in the Linux kernel source
+ * 		tree (the eBPF program counterpart is in
+ * 		*samples/bpf/trace_output_kern.c*).
+ *
+ * 		**bpf_perf_event_output**\ () achieves better performance
+ * 		than **bpf_trace_printk**\ () for sharing data with user
+ * 		space, and is much better suitable for streaming data from eBPF
+ * 		programs.
+ *
+ * 		Note that this helper is not restricted to tracing use cases
+ * 		and can be used with programs attached to TC or XDP as well,
+ * 		where it allows for passing data to user space listeners. Data
+ * 		can be:
+ *
+ * 		* Only custom structs,
+ * 		* Only the packet payload, or
+ * 		* A combination of both.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_load_bytes(const struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, void *to, u32 len)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		This helper was provided as an easy way to load data from a
+ * 		packet. It can be used to load *len* bytes from *offset* from
+ * 		the packet associated to *skb*, into the buffer pointed by
+ * 		*to*.
+ *
+ * 		Since Linux 4.7, usage of this helper has mostly been replaced
+ * 		by "direct packet access", enabling packet data to be
+ * 		manipulated with *skb*\ **->data** and *skb*\ **->data_end**
+ * 		pointing respectively to the first byte of packet data and to
+ * 		the byte after the last byte of packet data. However, it
+ * 		remains useful if one wishes to read large quantities of data
+ * 		at once from a packet into the eBPF stack.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_get_stackid(struct pt_reg *ctx, struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Walk a user or a kernel stack and return its id. To achieve
+ * 		this, the helper needs *ctx*, which is a pointer to the context
+ * 		on which the tracing program is executed, and a pointer to a
+ * 		*map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE**.
+ *
+ * 		The last argument, *flags*, holds the number of stack frames to
+ * 		skip (from 0 to 255), masked with
+ * 		**BPF_F_SKIP_FIELD_MASK**. The next bits can be used to set
+ * 		a combination of the following flags:
+ *
+ * 		**BPF_F_USER_STACK**
+ * 			Collect a user space stack instead of a kernel stack.
+ * 		**BPF_F_FAST_STACK_CMP**
+ * 			Compare stacks by hash only.
+ * 		**BPF_F_REUSE_STACKID**
+ * 			If two different stacks hash into the same *stackid*,
+ * 			discard the old one.
+ *
+ * 		The stack id retrieved is a 32 bit long integer handle which
+ * 		can be further combined with other data (including other stack
+ * 		ids) and used as a key into maps. This can be useful for
+ * 		generating a variety of graphs (such as flame graphs or off-cpu
+ * 		graphs).
+ *
+ * 		For walking a stack, this helper is an improvement over
+ * 		**bpf_probe_read**\ (), which can be used with unrolled loops
+ * 		but is not efficient and consumes a lot of eBPF instructions.
+ * 		Instead, **bpf_get_stackid**\ () can collect up to
+ * 		**PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH** both kernel and user frames. Note that
+ * 		this limit can be controlled with the **sysctl** program, and
+ * 		that it should be manually increased in order to profile long
+ * 		user stacks (such as stacks for Java programs). To do so, use:
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			# sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack=<new value>
+ *
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The positive or null stack id on success, or a negative error
+ * 		in case of failure.
+ *
+ * s64 bpf_csum_diff(__be32 *from, u32 from_size, __be32 *to, u32 to_size, __wsum seed)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Compute a checksum difference, from the raw buffer pointed by
+ * 		*from*, of length *from_size* (that must be a multiple of 4),
+ * 		towards the raw buffer pointed by *to*, of size *to_size*
+ * 		(same remark). An optional *seed* can be added to the value
+ * 		(this can be cascaded, the seed may come from a previous call
+ * 		to the helper).
+ *
+ * 		This is flexible enough to be used in several ways:
+ *
+ * 		* With *from_size* == 0, *to_size* > 0 and *seed* set to
+ * 		  checksum, it can be used when pushing new data.
+ * 		* With *from_size* > 0, *to_size* == 0 and *seed* set to
+ * 		  checksum, it can be used when removing data from a packet.
+ * 		* With *from_size* > 0, *to_size* > 0 and *seed* set to 0, it
+ * 		  can be used to compute a diff. Note that *from_size* and
+ * 		  *to_size* do not need to be equal.
+ *
+ * 		This helper can be used in combination with
+ * 		**bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ () and **bpf_l4_csum_replace**\ (), to
+ * 		which one can feed in the difference computed with
+ * 		**bpf_csum_diff**\ ().
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The checksum result, or a negative error code in case of
+ * 		failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt(struct sk_buff *skb, u8 *opt, u32 size)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Retrieve tunnel options metadata for the packet associated to
+ * 		*skb*, and store the raw tunnel option data to the buffer *opt*
+ * 		of *size*.
+ *
+ * 		This helper can be used with encapsulation devices that can
+ * 		operate in "collect metadata" mode (please refer to the related
+ * 		note in the description of **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key**\ () for
+ * 		more details). A particular example where this can be used is
+ * 		in combination with the Geneve encapsulation protocol, where it
+ * 		allows for pushing (with **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt**\ () helper)
+ * 		and retrieving arbitrary TLVs (Type-Length-Value headers) from
+ * 		the eBPF program. This allows for full customization of these
+ * 		headers.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The size of the option data retrieved.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_set_tunnel_opt(struct sk_buff *skb, u8 *opt, u32 size)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Set tunnel options metadata for the packet associated to *skb*
+ * 		to the option data contained in the raw buffer *opt* of *size*.
+ *
+ * 		See also the description of the **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt**\ ()
+ * 		helper for additional information.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_change_proto(struct sk_buff *skb, __be16 proto, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Change the protocol of the *skb* to *proto*. Currently
+ * 		supported are transition from IPv4 to IPv6, and from IPv6 to
+ * 		IPv4. The helper takes care of the groundwork for the
+ * 		transition, including resizing the socket buffer. The eBPF
+ * 		program is expected to fill the new headers, if any, via
+ * 		**skb_store_bytes**\ () and to recompute the checksums with
+ * 		**bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ () and **bpf_l4_csum_replace**\
+ * 		(). The main case for this helper is to perform NAT64
+ * 		operations out of an eBPF program.
+ *
+ * 		Internally, the GSO type is marked as dodgy so that headers are
+ * 		checked and segments are recalculated by the GSO/GRO engine.
+ * 		The size for GSO target is adapted as well.
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_change_type(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 type)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Change the packet type for the packet associated to *skb*. This
+ * 		comes down to setting *skb*\ **->pkt_type** to *type*, except
+ * 		the eBPF program does not have a write access to *skb*\
+ * 		**->pkt_type** beside this helper. Using a helper here allows
+ * 		for graceful handling of errors.
+ *
+ * 		The major use case is to change incoming *skb*s to
+ * 		**PACKET_HOST** in a programmatic way instead of having to
+ * 		recirculate via **redirect**\ (..., **BPF_F_INGRESS**), for
+ * 		example.
+ *
+ * 		Note that *type* only allows certain values. At this time, they
+ * 		are:
+ *
+ * 		**PACKET_HOST**
+ * 			Packet is for us.
+ * 		**PACKET_BROADCAST**
+ * 			Send packet to all.
+ * 		**PACKET_MULTICAST**
+ * 			Send packet to group.
+ * 		**PACKET_OTHERHOST**
+ * 			Send packet to someone else.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_under_cgroup(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_map *map, u32 index)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Check whether *skb* is a descendant of the cgroup2 held by
+ * 		*map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY**, at *index*.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The return value depends on the result of the test, and can be:
+ *
+ * 		* 0, if the *skb* failed the cgroup2 descendant test.
+ * 		* 1, if the *skb* succeeded the cgroup2 descendant test.
+ * 		* A negative error code, if an error occurred.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_hash_recalc(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Retrieve the hash of the packet, *skb*\ **->hash**. If it is
+ * 		not set, in particular if the hash was cleared due to mangling,
+ * 		recompute this hash. Later accesses to the hash can be done
+ * 		directly with *skb*\ **->hash**.
+ *
+ * 		Calling **bpf_set_hash_invalid**\ (), changing a packet
+ * 		prototype with **bpf_skb_change_proto**\ (), or calling
+ * 		**bpf_skb_store_bytes**\ () with the
+ * 		**BPF_F_INVALIDATE_HASH** are actions susceptible to clear
+ * 		the hash and to trigger a new computation for the next call to
+ * 		**bpf_get_hash_recalc**\ ().
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The 32-bit hash.
  *
  * u64 bpf_get_current_task(void)
- *     Returns current task_struct
- *     Return: current

+ * int bpf_probe_write_user(void *dst, const void *src, u32 len)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Attempt in a safe way to write *len* bytes from the buffer
+ * 		*src* to *dst* in memory. It only works for threads that are in
+ * 		user context, and *dst* must be a valid user space address.
+ *
+ * 		This helper should not be used to implement any kind of
+ * 		security mechanism because of TOC-TOU attacks, but rather to
+ * 		debug, divert, and manipulate execution of semi-cooperative
+ * 		processes.
+ *
+ * 		Keep in mind that this feature is meant for experiments, and it
+ * 		has a risk of crashing the system and running programs.
+ * 		Therefore, when an eBPF program using this helper is attached,
+ * 		a warning including PID and process name is printed to kernel
+ * 		logs.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_current_task_under_cgroup(struct bpf_map *map, u32 index)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Check whether the probe is being run is the context of a given
+ * 		subset of the cgroup2 hierarchy. The cgroup2 to test is held by
+ * 		*map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY**, at *index*.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The return value depends on the result of the test, and can be:
+ *
+ * 		* 0, if the *skb* task belongs to the cgroup2.
+ * 		* 1, if the *skb* task does not belong to the cgroup2.
+ * 		* A negative error code, if an error occurred.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_change_tail(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 len, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Resize (trim or grow) the packet associated to *skb* to the
+ * 		new *len*. The *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		The basic idea is that the helper performs the needed work to
+ * 		change the size of the packet, then the eBPF program rewrites
+ * 		the rest via helpers like **bpf_skb_store_bytes**\ (),
+ * 		**bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ (), **bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ ()
+ * 		and others. This helper is a slow path utility intended for
+ * 		replies with control messages. And because it is targeted for
+ * 		slow path, the helper itself can afford to be slow: it
+ * 		implicitly linearizes, unclones and drops offloads from the
+ * 		*skb*.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_pull_data(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 len)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Pull in non-linear data in case the *skb* is non-linear and not
+ * 		all of *len* are part of the linear section. Make *len* bytes
+ * 		from *skb* readable and writable. If a zero value is passed for
+ * 		*len*, then the whole length of the *skb* is pulled.
+ *
+ * 		This helper is only needed for reading and writing with direct
+ * 		packet access.
+ *
+ * 		For direct packet access, testing that offsets to access
+ * 		are within packet boundaries (test on *skb*\ **->data_end**) is
+ * 		susceptible to fail if offsets are invalid, or if the requested
+ * 		data is in non-linear parts of the *skb*. On failure the
+ * 		program can just bail out, or in the case of a non-linear
+ * 		buffer, use a helper to make the data available. The
+ * 		**bpf_skb_load_bytes**\ () helper is a first solution to access
+ * 		the data. Another one consists in using **bpf_skb_pull_data**
+ * 		to pull in once the non-linear parts, then retesting and
+ * 		eventually access the data.
+ *
+ * 		At the same time, this also makes sure the *skb* is uncloned,
+ * 		which is a necessary condition for direct write. As this needs
+ * 		to be an invariant for the write part only, the verifier
+ * 		detects writes and adds a prologue that is calling
+ * 		**bpf_skb_pull_data()** to effectively unclone the *skb* from
+ * 		the very beginning in case it is indeed cloned.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * s64 bpf_csum_update(struct sk_buff *skb, __wsum csum)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Add the checksum *csum* into *skb*\ **->csum** in case the
+ * 		driver has supplied a checksum for the entire packet into that
+ * 		field. Return an error otherwise. This helper is intended to be
+ * 		used in combination with **bpf_csum_diff**\ (), in particular
+ * 		when the checksum needs to be updated after data has been
+ * 		written into the packet through direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The checksum on success, or a negative error code in case of
+ * 		failure.
+ *
+ * void bpf_set_hash_invalid(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Invalidate the current *skb*\ **->hash**. It can be used after
+ * 		mangling on headers through direct packet access, in order to
+ * 		indicate that the hash is outdated and to trigger a
+ * 		recalculation the next time the kernel tries to access this
+ * 		hash or when the **bpf_get_hash_recalc**\ () helper is called.
+ *
+ * int bpf_get_numa_node_id(void)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Return the id of the current NUMA node. The primary use case
+ * 		for this helper is the selection of sockets for the local NUMA
+ * 		node, when the program is attached to sockets using the
+ * 		**SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_EBPF** option (see also **socket(7)**),
+ * 		but the helper is also available to other eBPF program types,
+ * 		similarly to **bpf_get_smp_processor_id**\ ().
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The id of current NUMA node.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_change_head(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 len, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Grows headroom of packet associated to *skb* and adjusts the
+ * 		offset of the MAC header accordingly, adding *len* bytes of
+ * 		space. It automatically extends and reallocates memory as
+ * 		required.
+ *
+ * 		This helper can be used on a layer 3 *skb* to push a MAC header
+ * 		for redirection into a layer 2 device.
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_xdp_adjust_head(struct xdp_buff *xdp_md, int delta)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Adjust (move) *xdp_md*\ **->data** by *delta* bytes. Note that
+ * 		it is possible to use a negative value for *delta*. This helper
+ * 		can be used to prepare the packet for pushing or popping
+ * 		headers.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.

+ * 	Description
+ * 		Copy a NUL terminated string from an unsafe address
+ * 		*unsafe_ptr* to *dst*. The *size* should include the
+ * 		terminating NUL byte. In case the string length is smaller than
+ * 		*size*, the target is not padded with further NUL bytes. If the
+ * 		string length is larger than *size*, just *size*-1 bytes are
+ * 		copied and the last byte is set to NUL.
+ *
+ * 		On success, the length of the copied string is returned. This
+ * 		makes this helper useful in tracing programs for reading
+ * 		strings, and more importantly to get its length at runtime. See
+ * 		the following snippet:
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			SEC("kprobe/sys_open")
+ * 			void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx)
+ * 			{
+ * 			        char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256
+ * 			        int res = bpf_probe_read_str(buf, sizeof(buf),
+ * 				                             ctx->di);
+ *
+ * 				// Consume buf, for example push it to
+ * 				// userspace via bpf_perf_event_output(); we
+ * 				// can use res (the string length) as event
+ * 				// size, after checking its boundaries.
+ * 			}
+ *
+ * 		In comparison, using **bpf_probe_read()** helper here instead
+ * 		to read the string would require to estimate the length at
+ * 		compile time, and would often result in copying more memory
+ * 		than necessary.
+ *
+ * 		Another useful use case is when parsing individual process
+ * 		arguments or individual environment variables navigating
+ * 		*current*\ **->mm->arg_start** and *current*\
+ * 		**->mm->env_start**: using this helper and the return value,
+ * 		one can quickly iterate at the right offset of the memory area.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		On success, the strictly positive length of the string,
+ * 		including the trailing NUL character. On error, a negative
+ * 		value.
+ *
+ * u64 bpf_get_socket_cookie(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		If the **struct sk_buff** pointed by *skb* has a known socket,
+ * 		retrieve the cookie (generated by the kernel) of this socket.
+ * 		If no cookie has been set yet, generate a new cookie. Once
+ * 		generated, the socket cookie remains stable for the life of the
+ * 		socket. This helper can be useful for monitoring per socket
+ * 		networking traffic statistics as it provides a unique socket
+ * 		identifier per namespace.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		A 8-byte long non-decreasing number on success, or 0 if the
+ * 		socket field is missing inside *skb*.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_socket_uid(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The owner UID of the socket associated to *skb*. If the socket
+ * 		is **NULL**, or if it is not a full socket (i.e. if it is a
+ * 		time-wait or a request socket instead), **overflowuid** value
+ * 		is returned (note that **overflowuid** might also be the actual
+ * 		UID value for the socket).
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_set_hash(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 hash)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Set the full hash for *skb* (set the field *skb*\ **->hash**)
+ * 		to value *hash*.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0
+ *
+ * int bpf_setsockopt(struct bpf_sock_ops_kern *bpf_socket, int level, int optname, char *optval, int optlen)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Emulate a call to **setsockopt()** on the socket associated to
+ * 		*bpf_socket*, which must be a full socket. The *level* at
+ * 		which the option resides and the name *optname* of the option
+ * 		must be specified, see **setsockopt(2)** for more information.
+ * 		The option value of length *optlen* is pointed by *optval*.
+ *
+ * 		This helper actually implements a subset of **setsockopt()**.
+ * 		It supports the following *level*\ s:
+ *
+ * 		* **SOL_SOCKET**, which supports the following *optname*\ s:
+ * 		  **SO_RCVBUF**, **SO_SNDBUF**, **SO_MAX_PACING_RATE**,
+ * 		  **SO_PRIORITY**, **SO_RCVLOWAT**, **SO_MARK**.
+ * 		* **IPPROTO_TCP**, which supports the following *optname*\ s:
+ * 		  **TCP_CONGESTION**, **TCP_BPF_IW**,
+ * 		  **TCP_BPF_SNDCWND_CLAMP**.
+ * 		* **IPPROTO_IP**, which supports *optname* **IP_TOS**.
+ * 		* **IPPROTO_IPV6**, which supports *optname* **IPV6_TCLASS**.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_adjust_room(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 len_diff, u32 mode, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Grow or shrink the room for data in the packet associated to
+ * 		*skb* by *len_diff*, and according to the selected *mode*.
+ *
+ * 		There is a single supported mode at this time:
+ *
+ * 		* **BPF_ADJ_ROOM_NET**: Adjust room at the network layer
+ * 		  (room space is added or removed below the layer 3 header).
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_redirect_map(struct bpf_map *map, u32 key, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Redirect the packet to the endpoint referenced by *map* at
+ * 		index *key*. Depending on its type, this *map* can contain
+ * 		references to net devices (for forwarding packets through other
+ * 		ports), or to CPUs (for redirecting XDP frames to another CPU;
+ * 		but this is only implemented for native XDP (with driver
+ * 		support) as of this writing).
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		When used to redirect packets to net devices, this helper
+ * 		provides a high performance increase over **bpf_redirect**\ ().
+ * 		This is due to various implementation details of the underlying
+ * 		mechanisms, one of which is the fact that **bpf_redirect_map**\
+ * 		() tries to send packet as a "bulk" to the device.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		**XDP_REDIRECT** on success, or **XDP_ABORTED** on error.
+ *
+ * int bpf_sk_redirect_map(struct bpf_map *map, u32 key, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Redirect the packet to the socket referenced by *map* (of type
+ * 		**BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP**) at index *key*. Both ingress and
+ * 		egress interfaces can be used for redirection. The
+ * 		**BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used to make the
+ * 		distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag is present,
+ * 		egress path otherwise). This is the only flag supported for now.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		**SK_PASS** on success, or **SK_DROP** on error.
+ *
+ * int bpf_sock_map_update(struct bpf_sock_ops_kern *skops, struct bpf_map *map, void *key, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Add an entry to, or update a *map* referencing sockets. The
+ * 		*skops* is used as a new value for the entry associated to
+ * 		*key*. *flags* is one of:
+ *
+ * 		**BPF_NOEXIST**
+ * 			The entry for *key* must not exist in the map.
+ * 		**BPF_EXIST**
+ * 			The entry for *key* must already exist in the map.
+ * 		**BPF_ANY**
+ * 			No condition on the existence of the entry for *key*.
+ *
+ * 		If the *map* has eBPF programs (parser and verdict), those will
+ * 		be inherited by the socket being added. If the socket is
+ * 		already attached to eBPF programs, this results in an error.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_xdp_adjust_meta(struct xdp_buff *xdp_md, int delta)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Adjust the address pointed by *xdp_md*\ **->data_meta** by
+ * 		*delta* (which can be positive or negative). Note that this
+ * 		operation modifies the address stored in *xdp_md*\ **->data**,
+ * 		so the latter must be loaded only after the helper has been
+ * 		called.
+ *
+ * 		The use of *xdp_md*\ **->data_meta** is optional and programs
+ * 		are not required to use it. The rationale is that when the
+ * 		packet is processed with XDP (e.g. as DoS filter), it is
+ * 		possible to push further meta data along with it before passing
+ * 		to the stack, and to give the guarantee that an ingress eBPF
+ * 		program attached as a TC classifier on the same device can pick
+ * 		this up for further post-processing. Since TC works with socket
+ * 		buffers, it remains possible to set from XDP the **mark** or
+ * 		**priority** pointers, or other pointers for the socket buffer.
+ * 		Having this scratch space generic and programmable allows for
+ * 		more flexibility as the user is free to store whatever meta
+ * 		data they need.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_perf_event_read_value(struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags, struct bpf_perf_event_value *buf, u32 buf_size)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Read the value of a perf event counter, and store it into *buf*
+ * 		of size *buf_size*. This helper relies on a *map* of type
+ * 		**BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY**. The nature of the perf event
+ * 		counter is selected when *map* is updated with perf event file
+ * 		descriptors. The *map* is an array whose size is the number of
+ * 		available CPUs, and each cell contains a value relative to one
+ * 		CPU. The value to retrieve is indicated by *flags*, that
+ * 		contains the index of the CPU to look up, masked with
+ * 		**BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**. Alternatively, *flags* can be set to
+ * 		**BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU** to indicate that the value for the
+ * 		current CPU should be retrieved.
+ *
+ * 		This helper behaves in a way close to
+ * 		**bpf_perf_event_read**\ () helper, save that instead of
+ * 		just returning the value observed, it fills the *buf*
+ * 		structure. This allows for additional data to be retrieved: in
+ * 		particular, the enabled and running times (in *buf*\
+ * 		**->enabled** and *buf*\ **->running**, respectively) are
+ * 		copied. In general, **bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () is
+ * 		recommended over **bpf_perf_event_read**\ (), which has some
+ * 		ABI issues and provides fewer functionalities.
+ *
+ * 		These values are interesting, because hardware PMU (Performance
+ * 		Monitoring Unit) counters are limited resources. When there are
+ * 		more PMU based perf events opened than available counters,
+ * 		kernel will multiplex these events so each event gets certain
+ * 		percentage (but not all) of the PMU time. In case that
+ * 		multiplexing happens, the number of samples or counter value
+ * 		will not reflect the case compared to when no multiplexing
+ * 		occurs. This makes comparison between different runs difficult.
+ * 		Typically, the counter value should be normalized before
+ * 		comparing to other experiments. The usual normalization is done
+ * 		as follows.
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			normalized_counter = counter * t_enabled / t_running
+ *
+ * 		Where t_enabled is the time enabled for event and t_running is
+ * 		the time running for event since last normalization. The
+ * 		enabled and running times are accumulated since the perf event
+ * 		open. To achieve scaling factor between two invocations of an
+ * 		eBPF program, users can can use CPU id as the key (which is
+ * 		typical for perf array usage model) to remember the previous
+ * 		value and do the calculation inside the eBPF program.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_perf_prog_read_value(struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern *ctx, struct bpf_perf_event_value *buf, u32 buf_size)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		For en eBPF program attached to a perf event, retrieve the
+ * 		value of the event counter associated to *ctx* and store it in
+ * 		the structure pointed by *buf* and of size *buf_size*. Enabled
+ * 		and running times are also stored in the structure (see
+ * 		description of helper **bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () for
+ * 		more details).
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_getsockopt(struct bpf_sock_ops_kern *bpf_socket, int level, int optname, char *optval, int optlen)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Emulate a call to **getsockopt()** on the socket associated to
+ * 		*bpf_socket*, which must be a full socket. The *level* at
+ * 		which the option resides and the name *optname* of the option
+ * 		must be specified, see **getsockopt(2)** for more information.
+ * 		The retrieved value is stored in the structure pointed by
+ * 		*opval* and of length *optlen*.
+ *
+ * 		This helper actually implements a subset of **getsockopt()**.
+ * 		It supports the following *level*\ s:
+ *
+ * 		* **IPPROTO_TCP**, which supports *optname*
+ * 		  **TCP_CONGESTION**.
+ * 		* **IPPROTO_IP**, which supports *optname* **IP_TOS**.
+ * 		* **IPPROTO_IPV6**, which supports *optname* **IPV6_TCLASS**.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_override_return(struct pt_reg *regs, u64 rc)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Used for error injection, this helper uses kprobes to override
+ * 		the return value of the probed function, and to set it to *rc*.
+ * 		The first argument is the context *regs* on which the kprobe
+ * 		works.
+ *
+ * 		This helper works by setting setting the PC (program counter)
+ * 		to an override function which is run in place of the original
+ * 		probed function. This means the probed function is not run at
+ * 		all. The replacement function just returns with the required
+ * 		value.
+ *
+ * 		This helper has security implications, and thus is subject to
+ * 		restrictions. It is only available if the kernel was compiled
+ * 		with the **CONFIG_BPF_KPROBE_OVERRIDE** configuration
+ * 		option, and in this case it only works on functions tagged with
+ * 		**ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION** in the kernel code.
+ *
+ * 		Also, the helper is only available for the architectures having
+ * 		the CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION option. As of this writing,
+ * 		x86 architecture is the only one to support this feature.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0
+ *
+ * int bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags_set(struct bpf_sock_ops_kern *bpf_sock, int argval)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Attempt to set the value of the **bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags** field
+ * 		for the full TCP socket associated to *bpf_sock_ops* to
+ * 		*argval*.
+ *
+ * 		The primary use of this field is to determine if there should
+ * 		be calls to eBPF programs of type
+ * 		**BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS** at various points in the TCP
+ * 		code. A program of the same type can change its value, per
+ * 		connection and as necessary, when the connection is
+ * 		established. This field is directly accessible for reading, but
+ * 		this helper must be used for updates in order to return an
+ * 		error if an eBPF program tries to set a callback that is not
+ * 		supported in the current kernel.
+ *
+ * 		The supported callback values that *argval* can combine are:
+ *
+ * 		* **BPF_SOCK_OPS_RTO_CB_FLAG** (retransmission time out)
+ * 		* **BPF_SOCK_OPS_RETRANS_CB_FLAG** (retransmission)
+ * 		* **BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB_FLAG** (TCP state change)
+ *
+ * 		Here are some examples of where one could call such eBPF
+ * 		program:
+ *
+ * 		* When RTO fires.
+ * 		* When a packet is retransmitted.
+ * 		* When the connection terminates.
+ * 		* When a packet is sent.
+ * 		* When a packet is received.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		Code **-EINVAL** if the socket is not a full TCP socket;
+ * 		otherwise, a positive number containing the bits that could not
+ * 		be set is returned (which comes down to 0 if all bits were set
+ * 		as required).
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_redirect_map(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, struct bpf_map *map, u32 key, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		This helper is used in programs implementing policies at the
+ * 		socket level. If the message *msg* is allowed to pass (i.e. if
+ * 		the verdict eBPF program returns **SK_PASS**), redirect it to
+ * 		the socket referenced by *map* (of type
+ * 		**BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP**) at index *key*. Both ingress and
+ * 		egress interfaces can be used for redirection. The
+ * 		**BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used to make the
+ * 		distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag is present,
+ * 		egress path otherwise). This is the only flag supported for now.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		**SK_PASS** on success, or **SK_DROP** on error.
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_apply_bytes(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, u32 bytes)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		For socket policies, apply the verdict of the eBPF program to
+ * 		the next *bytes* (number of bytes) of message *msg*.
+ *
+ * 		For example, this helper can be used in the following cases:
+ *
+ * 		* A single **sendmsg**\ () or **sendfile**\ () system call
+ * 		  contains multiple logical messages that the eBPF program is
+ * 		  supposed to read and for which it should apply a verdict.
+ * 		* An eBPF program only cares to read the first *bytes* of a
+ * 		  *msg*. If the message has a large payload, then setting up
+ * 		  and calling the eBPF program repeatedly for all bytes, even
+ * 		  though the verdict is already known, would create unnecessary
+ * 		  overhead.
+ *
+ * 		When called from within an eBPF program, the helper sets a
+ * 		counter internal to the BPF infrastructure, that is used to
+ * 		apply the last verdict to the next *bytes*. If *bytes* is
+ * 		smaller than the current data being processed from a
+ * 		**sendmsg**\ () or **sendfile**\ () system call, the first
+ * 		*bytes* will be sent and the eBPF program will be re-run with
+ * 		the pointer for start of data pointing to byte number *bytes*
+ * 		**+ 1**. If *bytes* is larger than the current data being
+ * 		processed, then the eBPF verdict will be applied to multiple
+ * 		**sendmsg**\ () or **sendfile**\ () calls until *bytes* are
+ * 		consumed.
+ *
+ * 		Note that if a socket closes with the internal counter holding
+ * 		a non-zero value, this is not a problem because data is not
+ * 		being buffered for *bytes* and is sent as it is received.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_cork_bytes(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, u32 bytes)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		For socket policies, prevent the execution of the verdict eBPF
+ * 		program for message *msg* until *bytes* (byte number) have been
+ * 		accumulated.
+ *
+ * 		This can be used when one needs a specific number of bytes
+ * 		before a verdict can be assigned, even if the data spans
+ * 		multiple **sendmsg**\ () or **sendfile**\ () calls. The extreme
+ * 		case would be a user calling **sendmsg**\ () repeatedly with
+ * 		1-byte long message segments. Obviously, this is bad for
+ * 		performance, but it is still valid. If the eBPF program needs
+ * 		*bytes* bytes to validate a header, this helper can be used to
+ * 		prevent the eBPF program to be called again until *bytes* have
+ * 		been accumulated.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_pull_data(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, u32 start, u32 end, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		For socket policies, pull in non-linear data from user space
+ * 		for *msg* and set pointers *msg*\ **->data** and *msg*\
+ * 		**->data_end** to *start* and *end* bytes offsets into *msg*,
+ * 		respectively.
+ *
+ * 		If a program of type **BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG** is run on a
+ * 		*msg* it can only parse data that the (**data**, **data_end**)
+ * 		pointers have already consumed. For **sendmsg**\ () hooks this
+ * 		is likely the first scatterlist element. But for calls relying
+ * 		on the **sendpage** handler (e.g. **sendfile**\ ()) this will
+ * 		be the range (**0**, **0**) because the data is shared with
+ * 		user space and by default the objective is to avoid allowing
+ * 		user space to modify data while (or after) eBPF verdict is
+ * 		being decided. This helper can be used to pull in data and to
+ * 		set the start and end pointer to given values. Data will be
+ * 		copied if necessary (i.e. if data was not linear and if start
+ * 		and end pointers do not point to the same chunk).
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_bind(struct bpf_sock_addr_kern *ctx, struct sockaddr *addr, int addr_len)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Bind the socket associated to *ctx* to the address pointed by
+ * 		*addr*, of length *addr_len*. This allows for making outgoing
+ * 		connection from the desired IP address, which can be useful for
+ * 		example when all processes inside a cgroup should use one
+ * 		single IP address on a host that has multiple IP configured.
+ *
+ * 		This helper works for IPv4 and IPv6, TCP and UDP sockets. The
+ * 		domain (*addr*\ **->sa_family**) must be **AF_INET** (or
+ * 		**AF_INET6**). Looking for a free port to bind to can be
+ * 		expensive, therefore binding to port is not permitted by the
+ * 		helper: *addr*\ **->sin_port** (or **sin6_port**, respectively)
+ * 		must be set to zero.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_xdp_adjust_tail(struct xdp_buff *xdp_md, int delta)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Adjust (move) *xdp_md*\ **->data_end** by *delta* bytes. It is
+ * 		only possible to shrink the packet as of this writing,
+ * 		therefore *delta* must be a negative integer.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 index, struct bpf_xfrm_state *xfrm_state, u32 size, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Retrieve the XFRM state (IP transform framework, see also
+ * 		**ip-xfrm(8)**) at *index* in XFRM "security path" for *skb*.
+ *
+ * 		The retrieved value is stored in the **struct bpf_xfrm_state**
+ * 		pointed by *xfrm_state* and of length *size*.
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		This helper is available only if the kernel was compiled with
+ * 		**CONFIG_XFRM** configuration option.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.

+:Manual section: 7
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+The extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) subsystem consists in programs
+written in a pseudo-assembly language, then attached to one of the several
+kernel hooks and run in reaction of specific events. This framework differs
+from the older, "classic" BPF (or "cBPF") in several aspects, one of them being
+the ability to call special functions (or "helpers") from within a program.
+These functions are restricted to a white-list of helpers defined in the
+kernel.
+
+These helpers are used by eBPF programs to interact with the system, or with
+the context in which they work. For instance, they can be used to print
+debugging messages, to get the time since the system was booted, to interact
+with eBPF maps, or to manipulate network packets. Since there are several eBPF
+program types, and that they do not run in the same context, each program type
+can only call a subset of those helpers.
+
+Due to eBPF conventions, a helper can not have more than five arguments.
+
+Internally, eBPF programs call directly into the compiled helper functions
+without requiring any foreign-function interface. As a result, calling helpers
+introduces no overhead, thus offering excellent performance.
+
+This document is an attempt to list and document the helpers available to eBPF
+developers. They are sorted by chronological order (the oldest helpers in the
+kernel at the top).
+

+EXAMPLES
+========
+
+Example usage for most of the eBPF helpers listed in this manual page are
+available within the Linux kernel sources, at the following locations:
+
+* *samples/bpf/*
+* *tools/testing/selftests/bpf/*
+
+LICENSE
+=======
+
+eBPF programs can have an associated license, passed along with the bytecode
+instructions to the kernel when the programs are loaded. The format for that
+string is identical to the one in use for kernel modules (Dual licenses, such
+as "Dual BSD/GPL", may be used). Some helper functions are only accessible to
+programs that are compatible with the GNU Privacy License (GPL).
+
+In order to use such helpers, the eBPF program must be loaded with the correct
+license string passed (via **attr**) to the **bpf**\ () system call, and this
+generally translates into the C source code of the program containing a line
+similar to the following:
+
+::
+
+	char ____license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
+
+IMPLEMENTATION
+==============
+
+This manual page is an effort to document the existing eBPF helper functions.
+But as of this writing, the BPF sub-system is under heavy development. New eBPF
+program or map types are added, along with new helper functions. Some helpers
+are occasionally made available for additional program types. So in spite of
+the efforts of the community, this page might not be up-to-date. If you want to
+check by yourself what helper functions exist in your kernel, or what types of
+programs they can support, here are some files among the kernel tree that you
+may be interested in:
+
+* *include/uapi/linux/bpf.h* is the main BPF header. It contains the full list
+  of all helper functions, as well as many other BPF definitions including most
+  of the flags, structs or constants used by the helpers.
+* *net/core/filter.c* contains the definition of most network-related helper
+  functions, and the list of program types from which they can be used.
+* *kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c* is the equivalent for most tracing program-related
+  helpers.
+* *kernel/bpf/verifier.c* contains the functions used to check that valid types
+  of eBPF maps are used with a given helper function.
+* *kernel/bpf/* directory contains other files in which additional helpers are
+  defined (for cgroups, sockmaps, etc.).
+
+Compatibility between helper functions and program types can generally be found
+in the files where helper functions are defined. Look for the **struct
+bpf_func_proto** objects and for functions returning them: these functions
+contain a list of helpers that a given program type can call. Note that the
+**default:** label of the **switch ... case** used to filter helpers can call
+other functions, themselves allowing access to additional helpers. The
+requirement for GPL license is also in those **struct bpf_func_proto**.
+
+Compatibility between helper functions and map types can be found in the
+**check_map_func_compatibility**\ () function in file *kernel/bpf/verifier.c*.
+
+Helper functions that invalidate the checks on **data** and **data_end**
+pointers for network processing are listed in function
+**bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data**\ () in file *net/core/filter.c*.

+ *
+ * int bpf_trace_printk(const char *fmt, u32 fmt_size, ...)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		This helper is a "printk()-like" facility for debugging. It
+ * 		prints a message defined by format *fmt* (of size *fmt_size*)
+ * 		to file *\/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace* from DebugFS, if
+ * 		available. It can take up to three additional **u64**
+ * 		arguments (as an eBPF helpers, the total number of arguments is
+ * 		limited to five).
+ *
+ * 		Each time the helper is called, it appends a line to the trace.
+ * 		The format of the trace is customizable, and the exact output
+ * 		one will get depends on the options set in
+ * 		*\/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_options* (see also the
+ * 		*README* file under the same directory). However, it usually
+ * 		defaults to something like:
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			telnet-470   [001] .N.. 419421.045894: 0x00000001: <formatted msg>
+ *
+ * 		In the above:
+ *
+ * 			* ``telnet`` is the name of the current task.
+ * 			* ``470`` is the PID of the current task.
+ * 			* ``001`` is the CPU number on which the task is
+ * 			  running.
+ * 			* In ``.N..``, each character refers to a set of
+ * 			  options (whether irqs are enabled, scheduling
+ * 			  options, whether hard/softirqs are running, level of
+ * 			  preempt_disabled respectively). **N** means that
+ * 			  **TIF_NEED_RESCHED** and **PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED**
+ * 			  are set.
+ * 			* ``419421.045894`` is a timestamp.
+ * 			* ``0x00000001`` is a fake value used by BPF for the
+ * 			  instruction pointer register.
+ * 			* ``<formatted msg>`` is the message formatted with
+ * 			  *fmt*.
+ *
+ * 		The conversion specifiers supported by *fmt* are similar, but
+ * 		more limited than for printk(). They are **%d**, **%i**,
+ * 		**%u**, **%x**, **%ld**, **%li**, **%lu**, **%lx**, **%lld**,
+ * 		**%lli**, **%llu**, **%llx**, **%p**, **%s**. No modifier (size
+ * 		of field, padding with zeroes, etc.) is available, and the
+ * 		helper will return **-EINVAL** (but print nothing) if it
+ * 		encounters an unknown specifier.
+ *
+ * 		Also, note that **bpf_trace_printk**\ () is slow, and should
+ * 		only be used for debugging purposes. For this reason, a notice
+ * 		bloc (spanning several lines) is printed to kernel logs and
+ * 		states that the helper should not be used "for production use"
+ * 		the first time this helper is used (or more precisely, when
+ * 		**trace_printk**\ () buffers are allocated). For passing values
+ * 		to user space, perf events should be preferred.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The number of bytes written to the buffer, or a negative error
+ * 		in case of failure.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_prandom_u32(void)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Get a pseudo-random number.
+ *
+ * 		From a security point of view, this helper uses its own
+ * 		pseudo-random internal state, and cannot be used to infer the
+ * 		seed of other random functions in the kernel. However, it is
+ * 		essential to note that the generator used by the helper is not
+ * 		cryptographically secure.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		A random 32-bit unsigned value.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_smp_processor_id(void)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Get the SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) processor id. Note that
+ * 		all programs run with preemption disabled, which means that the
+ * 		SMP processor id is stable during all the execution of the
+ * 		program.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The SMP id of the processor running the program.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_store_bytes(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, const void *from, u32 len, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Store *len* bytes from address *from* into the packet
+ * 		associated to *skb*, at *offset*. *flags* are a combination of
+ * 		**BPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM** (automatically recompute the
+ * 		checksum for the packet after storing the bytes) and
+ * 		**BPF_F_INVALIDATE_HASH** (set *skb*\ **->hash**, *skb*\
+ * 		**->swhash** and *skb*\ **->l4hash** to 0).
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_l3_csum_replace(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, u64 from, u64 to, u64 size)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Recompute the layer 3 (e.g. IP) checksum for the packet
+ * 		associated to *skb*. Computation is incremental, so the helper
+ * 		must know the former value of the header field that was
+ * 		modified (*from*), the new value of this field (*to*), and the
+ * 		number of bytes (2 or 4) for this field, stored in *size*.
+ * 		Alternatively, it is possible to store the difference between
+ * 		the previous and the new values of the header field in *to*, by
+ * 		setting *from* and *size* to 0. For both methods, *offset*
+ * 		indicates the location of the IP checksum within the packet.
+ *
+ * 		This helper works in combination with **bpf_csum_diff**\ (),
+ * 		which does not update the checksum in-place, but offers more
+ * 		flexibility and can handle sizes larger than 2 or 4 for the
+ * 		checksum to update.
+ *

+ * 	Return

+ *
+ * int bpf_l4_csum_replace(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, u64 from, u64 to, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Recompute the layer 4 (e.g. TCP, UDP or ICMP) checksum for the
+ * 		packet associated to *skb*. Computation is incremental, so the
+ * 		helper must know the former value of the header field that was
+ * 		modified (*from*), the new value of this field (*to*), and the
+ * 		number of bytes (2 or 4) for this field, stored on the lowest
+ * 		four bits of *flags*. Alternatively, it is possible to store
+ * 		the difference between the previous and the new values of the
+ * 		header field in *to*, by setting *from* and the four lowest
+ * 		bits of *flags* to 0. For both methods, *offset* indicates the
+ * 		location of the IP checksum within the packet. In addition to
+ * 		the size of the field, *flags* can be added (bitwise OR) actual
+ * 		flags. With **BPF_F_MARK_MANGLED_0**, a null checksum is left
+ * 		untouched (unless **BPF_F_MARK_ENFORCE** is added as well), and
+ * 		for updates resulting in a null checksum the value is set to
+ * 		**CSUM_MANGLED_0** instead. Flag **BPF_F_PSEUDO_HDR** indicates
+ * 		the checksum is to be computed against a pseudo-header.
+ *
+ * 		This helper works in combination with **bpf_csum_diff**\ (),
+ * 		which does not update the checksum in-place, but offers more
+ * 		flexibility and can handle sizes larger than 2 or 4 for the

+ * 	Description
+ * 		This special helper is used to trigger a "tail call", or in
+ * 		other words, to jump into another eBPF program. The same stack
+ * 		frame is used (but values on stack and in registers for the
+ * 		caller are not accessible to the callee). This mechanism allows
+ * 		for program chaining, either for raising the maximum number of
+ * 		available eBPF instructions, or to execute given programs in
+ * 		conditional blocks. For security reasons, there is an upper
+ * 		limit to the number of successive tail calls that can be
+ * 		performed.
+ *
+ * 		Upon call of this helper, the program attempts to jump into a
+ * 		program referenced at index *index* in *prog_array_map*, a
+ * 		special map of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY**, and passes
+ * 		*ctx*, a pointer to the context.
+ *
+ * 		If the call succeeds, the kernel immediately runs the first
+ * 		instruction of the new program. This is not a function call,
+ * 		and it never returns to the previous program. If the call
+ * 		fails, then the helper has no effect, and the caller continues
+ * 		to run its subsequent instructions. A call can fail if the
+ * 		destination program for the jump does not exist (i.e. *index*
+ * 		is superior to the number of entries in *prog_array_map*), or
+ * 		if the maximum number of tail calls has been reached for this
+ * 		chain of programs. This limit is defined in the kernel by the
+ * 		macro **MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT** (not accessible to user space),
+ * 		which is currently set to 32.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_clone_redirect(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 ifindex, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Clone and redirect the packet associated to *skb* to another
+ * 		net device of index *ifindex*. Both ingress and egress
+ * 		interfaces can be used for redirection. The **BPF_F_INGRESS**
+ * 		value in *flags* is used to make the distinction (ingress path
+ * 		is selected if the flag is present, egress path otherwise).
+ * 		This is the only flag supported for now.
+ *
+ * 		In comparison with **bpf_redirect**\ () helper,
+ * 		**bpf_clone_redirect**\ () has the associated cost of
+ * 		duplicating the packet buffer, but this can be executed out of
+ * 		the eBPF program. Conversely, **bpf_redirect**\ () is more
+ * 		efficient, but it is handled through an action code where the
+ * 		redirection happens only after the eBPF program has returned.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
  *

- *
- * int bpf_skb_change_proto(skb, proto, flags)
- *     Change protocol of the skb. Currently supported is v4 -> v6,
- *     v6 -> v4 transitions. The helper will also resize the skb. eBPF
- *     program is expected to fill the new headers via skb_store_bytes

- *     @skb: pointer to skb
- *     Return: hash
+ * 	Return
+ * 		A 64-bit integer containing the current GID and UID, and
+ * 		created as such: *current_gid* **<< 32 \|** *current_uid*.
+ *
+ * int bpf_get_current_comm(char *buf, u32 size_of_buf)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Copy the **comm** attribute of the current task into *buf* of
+ * 		*size_of_buf*. The **comm** attribute contains the name of
+ * 		the executable (excluding the path) for the current task. The
+ * 		*size_of_buf* must be strictly positive. On success, the
+ * 		helper makes sure that the *buf* is NUL-terminated. On failure,
+ * 		it is filled with zeroes.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_cgroup_classid(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Retrieve the classid for the current task, i.e. for the net_cls
+ * 		cgroup to which *skb* belongs.
+ *
+ * 		This helper can be used on TC egress path, but not on ingress.
+ *
+ * 		The net_cls cgroup provides an interface to tag network packets
+ * 		based on a user-provided identifier for all traffic coming from
+ * 		the tasks belonging to the related cgroup. See also the related
+ * 		kernel documentation, available from the Linux sources in file
+ * 		*Documentation/cgroup-v1/net_cls.txt*.
+ *
+ * 		The Linux kernel has two versions for cgroups: there are
+ * 		cgroups v1 and cgroups v2. Both are available to users, who can
+ * 		use a mixture of them, but note that the net_cls cgroup is for
+ * 		cgroup v1 only. This makes it incompatible with BPF programs
+ * 		run on cgroups, which is a cgroup-v2-only feature (a socket can
+ * 		only hold data for one version of cgroups at a time).
+ *
+ * 		This helper is only available is the kernel was compiled with
+ * 		the **CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_CLASSID** configuration option set to
+ * 		"**y**" or to "**m**".
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The classid, or 0 for the default unconfigured classid.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_vlan_push(struct sk_buff *skb, __be16 vlan_proto, u16 vlan_tci)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Push a *vlan_tci* (VLAN tag control information) of protocol
+ * 		*vlan_proto* to the packet associated to *skb*, then update
+ * 		the checksum. Note that if *vlan_proto* is different from
+ * 		**ETH_P_8021Q** and **ETH_P_8021AD**, it is considered to
+ * 		be **ETH_P_8021Q**.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_vlan_pop(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Pop a VLAN header from the packet associated to *skb*.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_tunnel_key *key, u32 size, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Get tunnel metadata. This helper takes a pointer *key* to an
+ * 		empty **struct bpf_tunnel_key** of **size**, that will be
+ * 		filled with tunnel metadata for the packet associated to *skb*.
+ * 		The *flags* can be set to **BPF_F_TUNINFO_IPV6**, which
+ * 		indicates that the tunnel is based on IPv6 protocol instead of
+ * 		IPv4.
+ *
+ * 		The **struct bpf_tunnel_key** is an object that generalizes the
+ * 		principal parameters used by various tunneling protocols into a
+ * 		single struct. This way, it can be used to easily make a
+ * 		decision based on the contents of the encapsulation header,
+ * 		"summarized" in this struct. In particular, it holds the IP
+ * 		address of the remote end (IPv4 or IPv6, depending on the case)
+ * 		in *key*\ **->remote_ipv4** or *key*\ **->remote_ipv6**. Also,
+ * 		this struct exposes the *key*\ **->tunnel_id**, which is
+ * 		generally mapped to a VNI (Virtual Network Identifier), making
+ * 		it programmable together with the **bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key**\
+ * 		() helper.
+ *
+ * 		Let's imagine that the following code is part of a program
+ * 		attached to the TC ingress interface, on one end of a GRE
+ * 		tunnel, and is supposed to filter out all messages coming from
+ * 		remote ends with IPv4 address other than 10.0.0.1:
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			int ret;
+ * 			struct bpf_tunnel_key key = {};
+ * 			
+ * 			ret = bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(skb, &key, sizeof(key), 0);
+ * 			if (ret < 0)
+ * 				return TC_ACT_SHOT;	// drop packet
+ * 			
+ * 			if (key.remote_ipv4 != 0x0a000001)
+ * 				return TC_ACT_SHOT;	// drop packet
+ * 			
+ * 			return TC_ACT_OK;		// accept packet
+ *
+ * 		This interface can also be used with all encapsulation devices
+ * 		that can operate in "collect metadata" mode: instead of having
+ * 		one network device per specific configuration, the "collect
+ * 		metadata" mode only requires a single device where the
+ * 		configuration can be extracted from this helper.
+ *
+ * 		This can be used together with various tunnels such as VXLan,
+ * 		Geneve, GRE or IP in IP (IPIP).
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_tunnel_key *key, u32 size, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Populate tunnel metadata for packet associated to *skb.* The
+ * 		tunnel metadata is set to the contents of *key*, of *size*. The
+ * 		*flags* can be set to a combination of the following values:
+ *
+ * 		**BPF_F_TUNINFO_IPV6**
+ * 			Indicate that the tunnel is based on IPv6 protocol
+ * 			instead of IPv4.
+ * 		**BPF_F_ZERO_CSUM_TX**
+ * 			For IPv4 packets, add a flag to tunnel metadata
+ * 			indicating that checksum computation should be skipped
+ * 			and checksum set to zeroes.
+ * 		**BPF_F_DONT_FRAGMENT**
+ * 			Add a flag to tunnel metadata indicating that the
+ * 			packet should not be fragmented.
+ * 		**BPF_F_SEQ_NUMBER**
+ * 			Add a flag to tunnel metadata indicating that a
+ * 			sequence number should be added to tunnel header before
+ * 			sending the packet. This flag was added for GRE
+ * 			encapsulation, but might be used with other protocols
+ * 			as well in the future.
+ *
+ * 		Here is a typical usage on the transmit path:
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			struct bpf_tunnel_key key;
+ * 			     populate key ...
+ * 			bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(skb, &key, sizeof(key), 0);
+ * 			bpf_clone_redirect(skb, vxlan_dev_ifindex, 0);
+ *
+ * 		See also the description of the **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key**\ ()
+ * 		helper for additional information.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * u64 bpf_perf_event_read(struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Read the value of a perf event counter. This helper relies on a
+ * 		*map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY**. The nature of
+ * 		the perf event counter is selected when *map* is updated with
+ * 		perf event file descriptors. The *map* is an array whose size
+ * 		is the number of available CPUs, and each cell contains a value
+ * 		relative to one CPU. The value to retrieve is indicated by
+ * 		*flags*, that contains the index of the CPU to look up, masked
+ * 		with **BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**. Alternatively, *flags* can be set to
+ * 		**BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU** to indicate that the value for the
+ * 		current CPU should be retrieved.
+ *
+ * 		Note that before Linux 4.13, only hardware perf event can be
+ * 		retrieved.
+ *
+ * 		Also, be aware that the newer helper
+ * 		**bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () is recommended over
+ * 		**bpf_perf_event_read*\ () in general. The latter has some ABI
+ * 		quirks where error and counter value are used as a return code
+ * 		(which is wrong to do since ranges may overlap). This issue is
+ * 		fixed with bpf_perf_event_read_value(), which at the same time
+ * 		provides more features over the **bpf_perf_event_read**\ ()
+ * 		interface. Please refer to the description of
+ * 		**bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () for details.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The value of the perf event counter read from the map, or a
+ * 		negative error code in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_redirect(u32 ifindex, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Redirect the packet to another net device of index *ifindex*.
+ * 		This helper is somewhat similar to **bpf_clone_redirect**\
+ * 		(), except that the packet is not cloned, which provides
+ * 		increased performance.
+ *
+ * 		Except for XDP, both ingress and egress interfaces can be used
+ * 		for redirection. The **BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used
+ * 		to make the distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag
+ * 		is present, egress path otherwise). Currently, XDP only
+ * 		supports redirection to the egress interface, and accepts no
+ * 		flag at all.
+ *
+ * 		The same effect can be attained with the more generic
+ * 		**bpf_redirect_map**\ (), which requires specific maps to be
+ * 		used but offers better performance.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		For XDP, the helper returns **XDP_REDIRECT** on success or
+ * 		**XDP_ABORTED** on error. For other program types, the values
+ * 		are **TC_ACT_REDIRECT** on success or **TC_ACT_SHOT** on
+ * 		error.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_route_realm(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Retrieve the realm or the route, that is to say the
+ * 		**tclassid** field of the destination for the *skb*. The
+ * 		indentifier retrieved is a user-provided tag, similar to the
+ * 		one used with the net_cls cgroup (see description for
+ * 		**bpf_get_cgroup_classid**\ () helper), but here this tag is
+ * 		held by a route (a destination entry), not by a task.
+ *
+ * 		Retrieving this identifier works with the clsact TC egress hook
+ * 		(see also **tc-bpf(8)**), or alternatively on conventional
+ * 		classful egress qdiscs, but not on TC ingress path. In case of
+ * 		clsact TC egress hook, this has the advantage that, internally,
+ * 		the destination entry has not been dropped yet in the transmit
+ * 		path. Therefore, the destination entry does not need to be
+ * 		artificially held via **netif_keep_dst**\ () for a classful
+ * 		qdisc until the *skb* is freed.
+ *
+ * 		This helper is available only if the kernel was compiled with
+ * 		**CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_CLASSID** configuration option.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The realm of the route for the packet associated to *skb*, or 0
+ * 		if none was found.
+ *
+ * int bpf_perf_event_output(struct pt_reg *ctx, struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags, void *data, u64 size)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Write raw *data* blob into a special BPF perf event held by
+ * 		*map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY**. This perf
+ * 		event must have the following attributes: **PERF_SAMPLE_RAW**
+ * 		as **sample_type**, **PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE** as **type**, and
+ * 		**PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT** as **config**.
+ *
+ * 		The *flags* are used to indicate the index in *map* for which
+ * 		the value must be put, masked with **BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**.
+ * 		Alternatively, *flags* can be set to **BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU**
+ * 		to indicate that the index of the current CPU core should be
+ * 		used.
+ *
+ * 		The value to write, of *size*, is passed through eBPF stack and
+ * 		pointed by *data*.
+ *
+ * 		The context of the program *ctx* needs also be passed to the
+ * 		helper.
+ *
+ * 		On user space, a program willing to read the values needs to
+ * 		call **perf_event_open**\ () on the perf event (either for
+ * 		one or for all CPUs) and to store the file descriptor into the
+ * 		*map*. This must be done before the eBPF program can send data
+ * 		into it. An example is available in file
+ * 		*samples/bpf/trace_output_user.c* in the Linux kernel source
+ * 		tree (the eBPF program counterpart is in
+ * 		*samples/bpf/trace_output_kern.c*).
+ *
+ * 		**bpf_perf_event_output**\ () achieves better performance
+ * 		than **bpf_trace_printk**\ () for sharing data with user
+ * 		space, and is much better suitable for streaming data from eBPF
+ * 		programs.
+ *
+ * 		Note that this helper is not restricted to tracing use cases
+ * 		and can be used with programs attached to TC or XDP as well,
+ * 		where it allows for passing data to user space listeners. Data
+ * 		can be:
+ *
+ * 		* Only custom structs,
+ * 		* Only the packet payload, or
+ * 		* A combination of both.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_load_bytes(const struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, void *to, u32 len)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		This helper was provided as an easy way to load data from a
+ * 		packet. It can be used to load *len* bytes from *offset* from
+ * 		the packet associated to *skb*, into the buffer pointed by
+ * 		*to*.
+ *
+ * 		Since Linux 4.7, usage of this helper has mostly been replaced
+ * 		by "direct packet access", enabling packet data to be
+ * 		manipulated with *skb*\ **->data** and *skb*\ **->data_end**
+ * 		pointing respectively to the first byte of packet data and to
+ * 		the byte after the last byte of packet data. However, it
+ * 		remains useful if one wishes to read large quantities of data
+ * 		at once from a packet into the eBPF stack.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_get_stackid(struct pt_reg *ctx, struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Walk a user or a kernel stack and return its id. To achieve
+ * 		this, the helper needs *ctx*, which is a pointer to the context
+ * 		on which the tracing program is executed, and a pointer to a
+ * 		*map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE**.
+ *
+ * 		The last argument, *flags*, holds the number of stack frames to
+ * 		skip (from 0 to 255), masked with
+ * 		**BPF_F_SKIP_FIELD_MASK**. The next bits can be used to set
+ * 		a combination of the following flags:
+ *
+ * 		**BPF_F_USER_STACK**
+ * 			Collect a user space stack instead of a kernel stack.
+ * 		**BPF_F_FAST_STACK_CMP**
+ * 			Compare stacks by hash only.
+ * 		**BPF_F_REUSE_STACKID**
+ * 			If two different stacks hash into the same *stackid*,
+ * 			discard the old one.
+ *
+ * 		The stack id retrieved is a 32 bit long integer handle which
+ * 		can be further combined with other data (including other stack
+ * 		ids) and used as a key into maps. This can be useful for
+ * 		generating a variety of graphs (such as flame graphs or off-cpu
+ * 		graphs).
+ *
+ * 		For walking a stack, this helper is an improvement over
+ * 		**bpf_probe_read**\ (), which can be used with unrolled loops
+ * 		but is not efficient and consumes a lot of eBPF instructions.
+ * 		Instead, **bpf_get_stackid**\ () can collect up to
+ * 		**PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH** both kernel and user frames. Note that
+ * 		this limit can be controlled with the **sysctl** program, and
+ * 		that it should be manually increased in order to profile long
+ * 		user stacks (such as stacks for Java programs). To do so, use:
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			# sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack=<new value>
+ *
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The positive or null stack id on success, or a negative error
+ * 		in case of failure.
+ *
+ * s64 bpf_csum_diff(__be32 *from, u32 from_size, __be32 *to, u32 to_size, __wsum seed)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Compute a checksum difference, from the raw buffer pointed by
+ * 		*from*, of length *from_size* (that must be a multiple of 4),
+ * 		towards the raw buffer pointed by *to*, of size *to_size*
+ * 		(same remark). An optional *seed* can be added to the value
+ * 		(this can be cascaded, the seed may come from a previous call
+ * 		to the helper).
+ *
+ * 		This is flexible enough to be used in several ways:
+ *
+ * 		* With *from_size* == 0, *to_size* > 0 and *seed* set to
+ * 		  checksum, it can be used when pushing new data.
+ * 		* With *from_size* > 0, *to_size* == 0 and *seed* set to
+ * 		  checksum, it can be used when removing data from a packet.
+ * 		* With *from_size* > 0, *to_size* > 0 and *seed* set to 0, it
+ * 		  can be used to compute a diff. Note that *from_size* and
+ * 		  *to_size* do not need to be equal.
+ *
+ * 		This helper can be used in combination with
+ * 		**bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ () and **bpf_l4_csum_replace**\ (), to
+ * 		which one can feed in the difference computed with
+ * 		**bpf_csum_diff**\ ().
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The checksum result, or a negative error code in case of
+ * 		failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt(struct sk_buff *skb, u8 *opt, u32 size)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Retrieve tunnel options metadata for the packet associated to
+ * 		*skb*, and store the raw tunnel option data to the buffer *opt*
+ * 		of *size*.
+ *
+ * 		This helper can be used with encapsulation devices that can
+ * 		operate in "collect metadata" mode (please refer to the related
+ * 		note in the description of **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key**\ () for
+ * 		more details). A particular example where this can be used is
+ * 		in combination with the Geneve encapsulation protocol, where it
+ * 		allows for pushing (with **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt**\ () helper)
+ * 		and retrieving arbitrary TLVs (Type-Length-Value headers) from
+ * 		the eBPF program. This allows for full customization of these
+ * 		headers.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The size of the option data retrieved.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_set_tunnel_opt(struct sk_buff *skb, u8 *opt, u32 size)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Set tunnel options metadata for the packet associated to *skb*
+ * 		to the option data contained in the raw buffer *opt* of *size*.
+ *
+ * 		See also the description of the **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt**\ ()
+ * 		helper for additional information.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_change_proto(struct sk_buff *skb, __be16 proto, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Change the protocol of the *skb* to *proto*. Currently
+ * 		supported are transition from IPv4 to IPv6, and from IPv6 to
+ * 		IPv4. The helper takes care of the groundwork for the
+ * 		transition, including resizing the socket buffer. The eBPF
+ * 		program is expected to fill the new headers, if any, via
+ * 		**skb_store_bytes**\ () and to recompute the checksums with
+ * 		**bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ () and **bpf_l4_csum_replace**\
+ * 		(). The main case for this helper is to perform NAT64
+ * 		operations out of an eBPF program.
+ *
+ * 		Internally, the GSO type is marked as dodgy so that headers are
+ * 		checked and segments are recalculated by the GSO/GRO engine.
+ * 		The size for GSO target is adapted as well.
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_change_type(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 type)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Change the packet type for the packet associated to *skb*. This
+ * 		comes down to setting *skb*\ **->pkt_type** to *type*, except
+ * 		the eBPF program does not have a write access to *skb*\
+ * 		**->pkt_type** beside this helper. Using a helper here allows
+ * 		for graceful handling of errors.
+ *
+ * 		The major use case is to change incoming *skb*s to
+ * 		**PACKET_HOST** in a programmatic way instead of having to
+ * 		recirculate via **redirect**\ (..., **BPF_F_INGRESS**), for
+ * 		example.
+ *
+ * 		Note that *type* only allows certain values. At this time, they
+ * 		are:
+ *
+ * 		**PACKET_HOST**
+ * 			Packet is for us.
+ * 		**PACKET_BROADCAST**
+ * 			Send packet to all.
+ * 		**PACKET_MULTICAST**
+ * 			Send packet to group.
+ * 		**PACKET_OTHERHOST**
+ * 			Send packet to someone else.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_under_cgroup(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_map *map, u32 index)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Check whether *skb* is a descendant of the cgroup2 held by
+ * 		*map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY**, at *index*.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The return value depends on the result of the test, and can be:
+ *
+ * 		* 0, if the *skb* failed the cgroup2 descendant test.
+ * 		* 1, if the *skb* succeeded the cgroup2 descendant test.
+ * 		* A negative error code, if an error occurred.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_hash_recalc(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Retrieve the hash of the packet, *skb*\ **->hash**. If it is
+ * 		not set, in particular if the hash was cleared due to mangling,
+ * 		recompute this hash. Later accesses to the hash can be done
+ * 		directly with *skb*\ **->hash**.
+ *
+ * 		Calling **bpf_set_hash_invalid**\ (), changing a packet
+ * 		prototype with **bpf_skb_change_proto**\ (), or calling
+ * 		**bpf_skb_store_bytes**\ () with the
+ * 		**BPF_F_INVALIDATE_HASH** are actions susceptible to clear
+ * 		the hash and to trigger a new computation for the next call to
+ * 		**bpf_get_hash_recalc**\ ().
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The 32-bit hash.
  *

- *     @index: index of the cgroup in the bpf_map

- *       == 1 current succeeded the cgroup2 descendant test
- *        < 0 error
- *
- * int bpf_skb_change_tail(skb, len, flags)

- *     read/write with direct packet access.
- *     @skb: pointer to skb
- *     @len: len to make read/writeable
- *     Return: 0 on success or negative error

- *
- * int bpf_skb_change_head()
- *     Grows headroom of skb and adjusts MAC header offset accordingly.
- *     Will extends/reallocae as required automatically.

+ * 	Return
+ * 		A pointer to the current task struct.
+ *
+ * int bpf_probe_write_user(void *dst, const void *src, u32 len)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Attempt in a safe way to write *len* bytes from the buffer
+ * 		*src* to *dst* in memory. It only works for threads that are in
+ * 		user context, and *dst* must be a valid user space address.
+ *
+ * 		This helper should not be used to implement any kind of
+ * 		security mechanism because of TOC-TOU attacks, but rather to
+ * 		debug, divert, and manipulate execution of semi-cooperative
+ * 		processes.
+ *
+ * 		Keep in mind that this feature is meant for experiments, and it
+ * 		has a risk of crashing the system and running programs.
+ * 		Therefore, when an eBPF program using this helper is attached,
+ * 		a warning including PID and process name is printed to kernel
+ * 		logs.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_current_task_under_cgroup(struct bpf_map *map, u32 index)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Check whether the probe is being run is the context of a given
+ * 		subset of the cgroup2 hierarchy. The cgroup2 to test is held by
+ * 		*map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY**, at *index*.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The return value depends on the result of the test, and can be:
+ *
+ * 		* 0, if the *skb* task belongs to the cgroup2.
+ * 		* 1, if the *skb* task does not belong to the cgroup2.
+ * 		* A negative error code, if an error occurred.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_change_tail(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 len, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Resize (trim or grow) the packet associated to *skb* to the
+ * 		new *len*. The *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		The basic idea is that the helper performs the needed work to
+ * 		change the size of the packet, then the eBPF program rewrites
+ * 		the rest via helpers like **bpf_skb_store_bytes**\ (),
+ * 		**bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ (), **bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ ()
+ * 		and others. This helper is a slow path utility intended for
+ * 		replies with control messages. And because it is targeted for
+ * 		slow path, the helper itself can afford to be slow: it
+ * 		implicitly linearizes, unclones and drops offloads from the
+ * 		*skb*.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_pull_data(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 len)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Pull in non-linear data in case the *skb* is non-linear and not
+ * 		all of *len* are part of the linear section. Make *len* bytes
+ * 		from *skb* readable and writable. If a zero value is passed for
+ * 		*len*, then the whole length of the *skb* is pulled.
+ *
+ * 		This helper is only needed for reading and writing with direct
+ * 		packet access.
+ *
+ * 		For direct packet access, testing that offsets to access
+ * 		are within packet boundaries (test on *skb*\ **->data_end**) is
+ * 		susceptible to fail if offsets are invalid, or if the requested
+ * 		data is in non-linear parts of the *skb*. On failure the
+ * 		program can just bail out, or in the case of a non-linear
+ * 		buffer, use a helper to make the data available. The
+ * 		**bpf_skb_load_bytes**\ () helper is a first solution to access
+ * 		the data. Another one consists in using **bpf_skb_pull_data**
+ * 		to pull in once the non-linear parts, then retesting and
+ * 		eventually access the data.
+ *
+ * 		At the same time, this also makes sure the *skb* is uncloned,
+ * 		which is a necessary condition for direct write. As this needs
+ * 		to be an invariant for the write part only, the verifier
+ * 		detects writes and adds a prologue that is calling
+ * 		**bpf_skb_pull_data()** to effectively unclone the *skb* from
+ * 		the very beginning in case it is indeed cloned.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * s64 bpf_csum_update(struct sk_buff *skb, __wsum csum)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Add the checksum *csum* into *skb*\ **->csum** in case the
+ * 		driver has supplied a checksum for the entire packet into that
+ * 		field. Return an error otherwise. This helper is intended to be
+ * 		used in combination with **bpf_csum_diff**\ (), in particular
+ * 		when the checksum needs to be updated after data has been
+ * 		written into the packet through direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The checksum on success, or a negative error code in case of
+ * 		failure.
+ *
+ * void bpf_set_hash_invalid(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Invalidate the current *skb*\ **->hash**. It can be used after
+ * 		mangling on headers through direct packet access, in order to
+ * 		indicate that the hash is outdated and to trigger a
+ * 		recalculation the next time the kernel tries to access this
+ * 		hash or when the **bpf_get_hash_recalc**\ () helper is called.
+ *
+ * int bpf_get_numa_node_id(void)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Return the id of the current NUMA node. The primary use case
+ * 		for this helper is the selection of sockets for the local NUMA
+ * 		node, when the program is attached to sockets using the
+ * 		**SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_EBPF** option (see also **socket(7)**),
+ * 		but the helper is also available to other eBPF program types,
+ * 		similarly to **bpf_get_smp_processor_id**\ ().
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The id of current NUMA node.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_change_head(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 len, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Grows headroom of packet associated to *skb* and adjusts the
+ * 		offset of the MAC header accordingly, adding *len* bytes of
+ * 		space. It automatically extends and reallocates memory as
+ * 		required.
+ *
+ * 		This helper can be used on a layer 3 *skb* to push a MAC header
+ * 		for redirection into a layer 2 device.
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_xdp_adjust_head(struct xdp_buff *xdp_md, int delta)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Adjust (move) *xdp_md*\ **->data** by *delta* bytes. Note that
+ * 		it is possible to use a negative value for *delta*. This helper
+ * 		can be used to prepare the packet for pushing or popping
+ * 		headers.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
  *
  * int bpf_probe_read_str(void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_ptr)
- *     Copy a NUL terminated string from unsafe address. In case the string

- *     @size: size of 'struct bpf_xfrm_state'
- *     @flags: room for future extensions
- *     Return: 0 on success or negative error
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Copy a NUL terminated string from an unsafe address
+ * 		*unsafe_ptr* to *dst*. The *size* should include the
+ * 		terminating NUL byte. In case the string length is smaller than
+ * 		*size*, the target is not padded with further NUL bytes. If the
+ * 		string length is larger than *size*, just *size*-1 bytes are
+ * 		copied and the last byte is set to NUL.
+ *
+ * 		On success, the length of the copied string is returned. This
+ * 		makes this helper useful in tracing programs for reading
+ * 		strings, and more importantly to get its length at runtime. See
+ * 		the following snippet:
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			SEC("kprobe/sys_open")
+ * 			void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx)
+ * 			{
+ * 			        char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256
+ * 			        int res = bpf_probe_read_str(buf, sizeof(buf),
+ * 				                             ctx->di);
+ *
+ * 				// Consume buf, for example push it to
+ * 				// userspace via bpf_perf_event_output(); we
+ * 				// can use res (the string length) as event
+ * 				// size, after checking its boundaries.
+ * 			}
+ *
+ * 		In comparison, using **bpf_probe_read()** helper here instead
+ * 		to read the string would require to estimate the length at
+ * 		compile time, and would often result in copying more memory
+ * 		than necessary.
+ *
+ * 		Another useful use case is when parsing individual process
+ * 		arguments or individual environment variables navigating
+ * 		*current*\ **->mm->arg_start** and *current*\
+ * 		**->mm->env_start**: using this helper and the return value,
+ * 		one can quickly iterate at the right offset of the memory area.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		On success, the strictly positive length of the string,
+ * 		including the trailing NUL character. On error, a negative
+ * 		value.
+ *
+ * u64 bpf_get_socket_cookie(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		If the **struct sk_buff** pointed by *skb* has a known socket,
+ * 		retrieve the cookie (generated by the kernel) of this socket.
+ * 		If no cookie has been set yet, generate a new cookie. Once
+ * 		generated, the socket cookie remains stable for the life of the
+ * 		socket. This helper can be useful for monitoring per socket
+ * 		networking traffic statistics as it provides a unique socket
+ * 		identifier per namespace.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		A 8-byte long non-decreasing number on success, or 0 if the
+ * 		socket field is missing inside *skb*.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_socket_uid(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The owner UID of the socket associated to *skb*. If the socket
+ * 		is **NULL**, or if it is not a full socket (i.e. if it is a
+ * 		time-wait or a request socket instead), **overflowuid** value
+ * 		is returned (note that **overflowuid** might also be the actual
+ * 		UID value for the socket).
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_set_hash(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 hash)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Set the full hash for *skb* (set the field *skb*\ **->hash**)
+ * 		to value *hash*.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0
+ *
+ * int bpf_setsockopt(struct bpf_sock_ops_kern *bpf_socket, int level, int optname, char *optval, int optlen)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Emulate a call to **setsockopt()** on the socket associated to
+ * 		*bpf_socket*, which must be a full socket. The *level* at
+ * 		which the option resides and the name *optname* of the option
+ * 		must be specified, see **setsockopt(2)** for more information.
+ * 		The option value of length *optlen* is pointed by *optval*.
+ *
+ * 		This helper actually implements a subset of **setsockopt()**.
+ * 		It supports the following *level*\ s:
+ *
+ * 		* **SOL_SOCKET**, which supports the following *optname*\ s:
+ * 		  **SO_RCVBUF**, **SO_SNDBUF**, **SO_MAX_PACING_RATE**,
+ * 		  **SO_PRIORITY**, **SO_RCVLOWAT**, **SO_MARK**.
+ * 		* **IPPROTO_TCP**, which supports the following *optname*\ s:
+ * 		  **TCP_CONGESTION**, **TCP_BPF_IW**,
+ * 		  **TCP_BPF_SNDCWND_CLAMP**.
+ * 		* **IPPROTO_IP**, which supports *optname* **IP_TOS**.
+ * 		* **IPPROTO_IPV6**, which supports *optname* **IPV6_TCLASS**.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_adjust_room(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 len_diff, u32 mode, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Grow or shrink the room for data in the packet associated to
+ * 		*skb* by *len_diff*, and according to the selected *mode*.
+ *
+ * 		There is a single supported mode at this time:
+ *
+ * 		* **BPF_ADJ_ROOM_NET**: Adjust room at the network layer
+ * 		  (room space is added or removed below the layer 3 header).
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_redirect_map(struct bpf_map *map, u32 key, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Redirect the packet to the endpoint referenced by *map* at
+ * 		index *key*. Depending on its type, this *map* can contain
+ * 		references to net devices (for forwarding packets through other
+ * 		ports), or to CPUs (for redirecting XDP frames to another CPU;
+ * 		but this is only implemented for native XDP (with driver
+ * 		support) as of this writing).
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		When used to redirect packets to net devices, this helper
+ * 		provides a high performance increase over **bpf_redirect**\ ().
+ * 		This is due to various implementation details of the underlying
+ * 		mechanisms, one of which is the fact that **bpf_redirect_map**\
+ * 		() tries to send packet as a "bulk" to the device.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		**XDP_REDIRECT** on success, or **XDP_ABORTED** on error.
+ *
+ * int bpf_sk_redirect_map(struct bpf_map *map, u32 key, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Redirect the packet to the socket referenced by *map* (of type
+ * 		**BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP**) at index *key*. Both ingress and
+ * 		egress interfaces can be used for redirection. The
+ * 		**BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used to make the
+ * 		distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag is present,
+ * 		egress path otherwise). This is the only flag supported for now.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		**SK_PASS** on success, or **SK_DROP** on error.
+ *
+ * int bpf_sock_map_update(struct bpf_sock_ops_kern *skops, struct bpf_map *map, void *key, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Add an entry to, or update a *map* referencing sockets. The
+ * 		*skops* is used as a new value for the entry associated to
+ * 		*key*. *flags* is one of:
+ *
+ * 		**BPF_NOEXIST**
+ * 			The entry for *key* must not exist in the map.
+ * 		**BPF_EXIST**
+ * 			The entry for *key* must already exist in the map.
+ * 		**BPF_ANY**
+ * 			No condition on the existence of the entry for *key*.
+ *
+ * 		If the *map* has eBPF programs (parser and verdict), those will
+ * 		be inherited by the socket being added. If the socket is
+ * 		already attached to eBPF programs, this results in an error.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_xdp_adjust_meta(struct xdp_buff *xdp_md, int delta)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Adjust the address pointed by *xdp_md*\ **->data_meta** by
+ * 		*delta* (which can be positive or negative). Note that this
+ * 		operation modifies the address stored in *xdp_md*\ **->data**,
+ * 		so the latter must be loaded only after the helper has been
+ * 		called.
+ *
+ * 		The use of *xdp_md*\ **->data_meta** is optional and programs
+ * 		are not required to use it. The rationale is that when the
+ * 		packet is processed with XDP (e.g. as DoS filter), it is
+ * 		possible to push further meta data along with it before passing
+ * 		to the stack, and to give the guarantee that an ingress eBPF
+ * 		program attached as a TC classifier on the same device can pick
+ * 		this up for further post-processing. Since TC works with socket
+ * 		buffers, it remains possible to set from XDP the **mark** or
+ * 		**priority** pointers, or other pointers for the socket buffer.
+ * 		Having this scratch space generic and programmable allows for
+ * 		more flexibility as the user is free to store whatever meta
+ * 		data they need.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_perf_event_read_value(struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags, struct bpf_perf_event_value *buf, u32 buf_size)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Read the value of a perf event counter, and store it into *buf*
+ * 		of size *buf_size*. This helper relies on a *map* of type
+ * 		**BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY**. The nature of the perf event
+ * 		counter is selected when *map* is updated with perf event file
+ * 		descriptors. The *map* is an array whose size is the number of
+ * 		available CPUs, and each cell contains a value relative to one
+ * 		CPU. The value to retrieve is indicated by *flags*, that
+ * 		contains the index of the CPU to look up, masked with
+ * 		**BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**. Alternatively, *flags* can be set to
+ * 		**BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU** to indicate that the value for the
+ * 		current CPU should be retrieved.
+ *
+ * 		This helper behaves in a way close to
+ * 		**bpf_perf_event_read**\ () helper, save that instead of
+ * 		just returning the value observed, it fills the *buf*
+ * 		structure. This allows for additional data to be retrieved: in
+ * 		particular, the enabled and running times (in *buf*\
+ * 		**->enabled** and *buf*\ **->running**, respectively) are
+ * 		copied. In general, **bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () is
+ * 		recommended over **bpf_perf_event_read**\ (), which has some
+ * 		ABI issues and provides fewer functionalities.
+ *
+ * 		These values are interesting, because hardware PMU (Performance
+ * 		Monitoring Unit) counters are limited resources. When there are
+ * 		more PMU based perf events opened than available counters,
+ * 		kernel will multiplex these events so each event gets certain
+ * 		percentage (but not all) of the PMU time. In case that
+ * 		multiplexing happens, the number of samples or counter value
+ * 		will not reflect the case compared to when no multiplexing
+ * 		occurs. This makes comparison between different runs difficult.
+ * 		Typically, the counter value should be normalized before
+ * 		comparing to other experiments. The usual normalization is done
+ * 		as follows.
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			normalized_counter = counter * t_enabled / t_running
+ *
+ * 		Where t_enabled is the time enabled for event and t_running is
+ * 		the time running for event since last normalization. The
+ * 		enabled and running times are accumulated since the perf event
+ * 		open. To achieve scaling factor between two invocations of an
+ * 		eBPF program, users can can use CPU id as the key (which is
+ * 		typical for perf array usage model) to remember the previous
+ * 		value and do the calculation inside the eBPF program.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_perf_prog_read_value(struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern *ctx, struct bpf_perf_event_value *buf, u32 buf_size)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		For en eBPF program attached to a perf event, retrieve the
+ * 		value of the event counter associated to *ctx* and store it in
+ * 		the structure pointed by *buf* and of size *buf_size*. Enabled
+ * 		and running times are also stored in the structure (see
+ * 		description of helper **bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () for
+ * 		more details).
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_getsockopt(struct bpf_sock_ops_kern *bpf_socket, int level, int optname, char *optval, int optlen)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Emulate a call to **getsockopt()** on the socket associated to
+ * 		*bpf_socket*, which must be a full socket. The *level* at
+ * 		which the option resides and the name *optname* of the option
+ * 		must be specified, see **getsockopt(2)** for more information.
+ * 		The retrieved value is stored in the structure pointed by
+ * 		*opval* and of length *optlen*.
+ *
+ * 		This helper actually implements a subset of **getsockopt()**.
+ * 		It supports the following *level*\ s:
+ *
+ * 		* **IPPROTO_TCP**, which supports *optname*
+ * 		  **TCP_CONGESTION**.
+ * 		* **IPPROTO_IP**, which supports *optname* **IP_TOS**.
+ * 		* **IPPROTO_IPV6**, which supports *optname* **IPV6_TCLASS**.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_override_return(struct pt_reg *regs, u64 rc)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Used for error injection, this helper uses kprobes to override
+ * 		the return value of the probed function, and to set it to *rc*.
+ * 		The first argument is the context *regs* on which the kprobe
+ * 		works.
+ *
+ * 		This helper works by setting setting the PC (program counter)
+ * 		to an override function which is run in place of the original
+ * 		probed function. This means the probed function is not run at
+ * 		all. The replacement function just returns with the required
+ * 		value.
+ *
+ * 		This helper has security implications, and thus is subject to
+ * 		restrictions. It is only available if the kernel was compiled
+ * 		with the **CONFIG_BPF_KPROBE_OVERRIDE** configuration
+ * 		option, and in this case it only works on functions tagged with
+ * 		**ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION** in the kernel code.
+ *
+ * 		Also, the helper is only available for the architectures having
+ * 		the CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION option. As of this writing,
+ * 		x86 architecture is the only one to support this feature.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0
+ *
+ * int bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags_set(struct bpf_sock_ops_kern *bpf_sock, int argval)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Attempt to set the value of the **bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags** field
+ * 		for the full TCP socket associated to *bpf_sock_ops* to
+ * 		*argval*.
+ *
+ * 		The primary use of this field is to determine if there should
+ * 		be calls to eBPF programs of type
+ * 		**BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS** at various points in the TCP
+ * 		code. A program of the same type can change its value, per
+ * 		connection and as necessary, when the connection is
+ * 		established. This field is directly accessible for reading, but
+ * 		this helper must be used for updates in order to return an
+ * 		error if an eBPF program tries to set a callback that is not
+ * 		supported in the current kernel.
+ *
+ * 		The supported callback values that *argval* can combine are:
+ *
+ * 		* **BPF_SOCK_OPS_RTO_CB_FLAG** (retransmission time out)
+ * 		* **BPF_SOCK_OPS_RETRANS_CB_FLAG** (retransmission)
+ * 		* **BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB_FLAG** (TCP state change)
+ *
+ * 		Here are some examples of where one could call such eBPF
+ * 		program:
+ *
+ * 		* When RTO fires.
+ * 		* When a packet is retransmitted.
+ * 		* When the connection terminates.
+ * 		* When a packet is sent.
+ * 		* When a packet is received.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		Code **-EINVAL** if the socket is not a full TCP socket;
+ * 		otherwise, a positive number containing the bits that could not
+ * 		be set is returned (which comes down to 0 if all bits were set
+ * 		as required).
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_redirect_map(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, struct bpf_map *map, u32 key, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		This helper is used in programs implementing policies at the
+ * 		socket level. If the message *msg* is allowed to pass (i.e. if
+ * 		the verdict eBPF program returns **SK_PASS**), redirect it to
+ * 		the socket referenced by *map* (of type
+ * 		**BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP**) at index *key*. Both ingress and
+ * 		egress interfaces can be used for redirection. The
+ * 		**BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used to make the
+ * 		distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag is present,
+ * 		egress path otherwise). This is the only flag supported for now.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		**SK_PASS** on success, or **SK_DROP** on error.
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_apply_bytes(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, u32 bytes)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		For socket policies, apply the verdict of the eBPF program to
+ * 		the next *bytes* (number of bytes) of message *msg*.
+ *
+ * 		For example, this helper can be used in the following cases:
+ *
+ * 		* A single **sendmsg**\ () or **sendfile**\ () system call
+ * 		  contains multiple logical messages that the eBPF program is
+ * 		  supposed to read and for which it should apply a verdict.
+ * 		* An eBPF program only cares to read the first *bytes* of a
+ * 		  *msg*. If the message has a large payload, then setting up
+ * 		  and calling the eBPF program repeatedly for all bytes, even
+ * 		  though the verdict is already known, would create unnecessary
+ * 		  overhead.
+ *
+ * 		When called from within an eBPF program, the helper sets a
+ * 		counter internal to the BPF infrastructure, that is used to
+ * 		apply the last verdict to the next *bytes*. If *bytes* is
+ * 		smaller than the current data being processed from a
+ * 		**sendmsg**\ () or **sendfile**\ () system call, the first
+ * 		*bytes* will be sent and the eBPF program will be re-run with
+ * 		the pointer for start of data pointing to byte number *bytes*
+ * 		**+ 1**. If *bytes* is larger than the current data being
+ * 		processed, then the eBPF verdict will be applied to multiple
+ * 		**sendmsg**\ () or **sendfile**\ () calls until *bytes* are
+ * 		consumed.
+ *
+ * 		Note that if a socket closes with the internal counter holding
+ * 		a non-zero value, this is not a problem because data is not
+ * 		being buffered for *bytes* and is sent as it is received.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_cork_bytes(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, u32 bytes)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		For socket policies, prevent the execution of the verdict eBPF
+ * 		program for message *msg* until *bytes* (byte number) have been
+ * 		accumulated.
+ *
+ * 		This can be used when one needs a specific number of bytes
+ * 		before a verdict can be assigned, even if the data spans
+ * 		multiple **sendmsg**\ () or **sendfile**\ () calls. The extreme
+ * 		case would be a user calling **sendmsg**\ () repeatedly with
+ * 		1-byte long message segments. Obviously, this is bad for
+ * 		performance, but it is still valid. If the eBPF program needs
+ * 		*bytes* bytes to validate a header, this helper can be used to
+ * 		prevent the eBPF program to be called again until *bytes* have
+ * 		been accumulated.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_pull_data(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, u32 start, u32 end, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		For socket policies, pull in non-linear data from user space
+ * 		for *msg* and set pointers *msg*\ **->data** and *msg*\
+ * 		**->data_end** to *start* and *end* bytes offsets into *msg*,
+ * 		respectively.
+ *
+ * 		If a program of type **BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG** is run on a
+ * 		*msg* it can only parse data that the (**data**, **data_end**)
+ * 		pointers have already consumed. For **sendmsg**\ () hooks this
+ * 		is likely the first scatterlist element. But for calls relying
+ * 		on the **sendpage** handler (e.g. **sendfile**\ ()) this will
+ * 		be the range (**0**, **0**) because the data is shared with
+ * 		user space and by default the objective is to avoid allowing
+ * 		user space to modify data while (or after) eBPF verdict is
+ * 		being decided. This helper can be used to pull in data and to
+ * 		set the start and end pointer to given values. Data will be
+ * 		copied if necessary (i.e. if data was not linear and if start
+ * 		and end pointers do not point to the same chunk).
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_bind(struct bpf_sock_addr_kern *ctx, struct sockaddr *addr, int addr_len)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Bind the socket associated to *ctx* to the address pointed by
+ * 		*addr*, of length *addr_len*. This allows for making outgoing
+ * 		connection from the desired IP address, which can be useful for
+ * 		example when all processes inside a cgroup should use one
+ * 		single IP address on a host that has multiple IP configured.
+ *
+ * 		This helper works for IPv4 and IPv6, TCP and UDP sockets. The
+ * 		domain (*addr*\ **->sa_family**) must be **AF_INET** (or
+ * 		**AF_INET6**). Looking for a free port to bind to can be
+ * 		expensive, therefore binding to port is not permitted by the
+ * 		helper: *addr*\ **->sin_port** (or **sin6_port**, respectively)
+ * 		must be set to zero.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_xdp_adjust_tail(struct xdp_buff *xdp_md, int delta)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Adjust (move) *xdp_md*\ **->data_end** by *delta* bytes. It is
+ * 		only possible to shrink the packet as of this writing,
+ * 		therefore *delta* must be a negative integer.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * 		packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * 		direct packet access.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 index, struct bpf_xfrm_state *xfrm_state, u32 size, u64 flags)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Retrieve the XFRM state (IP transform framework, see also
+ * 		**ip-xfrm(8)**) at *index* in XFRM "security path" for *skb*.
+ *
+ * 		The retrieved value is stored in the **struct bpf_xfrm_state**
+ * 		pointed by *xfrm_state* and of length *size*.
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		This helper is available only if the kernel was compiled with
+ * 		**CONFIG_XFRM** configuration option.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
