CAN RAW sockets allow userspace to tell if a received CAN frame comes
from the same socket, another socket on the same host, or another host.
See commit 1e55659ce6 ("can-raw: add msg_flags to distinguish local
traffic"). However, this feature is missing in CAN BCM sockets.
Add the same feature to CAN BCM sockets. When reading a received frame
(opcode RX_CHANGED) using recvmsg, two flags in msg->msg_flags may be
set following the previous convention (from CAN RAW), to distinguish
between 'own', 'local' and 'remote' CAN traffic.
Update the documentation to reflect this change.

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.
