AFAICT, [1] adds a new program type, which is really hard to ship. However,
you mentioned it is basically "extend BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER to
report four more bytes", which confuses me.

Can we achieve the same goal by extending BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER
(without adding a new program type)? Does this require extending
__sk_buff, which
is also not an option any more?

Thanks,
Song
