Make bpf_sk_lookup_tcp, bpf_sk_lookup_udp and bpf_sk_release helpers
available in programs of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR.
Such programs operate on sockets and have access to socket and struct
sockaddr passed by user to system calls such as sys_bind, sys_connect,
sys_sendmsg.
It's useful to be able to lookup other sockets from these programs.
E.g. sys_connect may lookup IP:port endpoint and if there is a server
socket bound to that endpoint ("server" can be defined by saddr & sport
being zero), redirect client connection to it by rewriting IP:port in
sockaddr passed to sys_connect.

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.
