Jakub Sitnicki c1cdf65da0 bpf, sockmap: Return socket cookie on lookup from syscall
Tooling that populates the SOCK{MAP,HASH} with sockets from user-space
needs a way to inspect its contents. Returning the struct sock * that the
map holds to user-space is neither safe nor useful. An approach established
by REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY is to return a socket cookie (a unique identifier)
instead.

Since socket cookies are u64 values, SOCK{MAP,HASH} need to support such a
value size for lookup to be possible. This requires special handling on
update, though. Attempts to do a lookup on a map holding u32 values will be
met with ENOSPC error.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
