Often it is useful when applying policy to know something about the task. If the administrator has CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights then they can use kprobe + networking hook and link the two programs together to accomplish this. However, this is a bit clunky and also means we have to call both the network program and kprobe program when we could just use a single program and avoid passing metadata through sk_msg/skb->cb, socket, maps, etc. To accomplish this add probe_* helpers to bpf_base_func_proto programs guarded by a perfmon_capable() check. New supported helpers are the following, BPF_FUNC_get_current_task BPF_FUNC_current_task_under_cgroup BPF_FUNC_probe_read_user BPF_FUNC_probe_read_kernel BPF_FUNC_probe_read_user_str BPF_FUNC_probe_read_kernel_str Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@xxxxxxxxx>
