Add these generic helpers that may be useful to use from sk_msg programs.
The helpers do not depend on ctx so we can simply add them here,

   BPF_FUNC_perf_event_output
   BPF_FUNC_get_current_uid_gid
   BPF_FUNC_get_current_pid_tgid
   BPF_FUNC_get_current_comm

Hmm, added helpers below are what you list here except get_current_comm.
Was this forgotten to be added here?

Forgot to update commit messages. I dropped it because it wasn't clear to
me it was very useful or how I would use it from this context. I figure we
can add it later if its needed.

But it's also not harmful in any way and is in a similar group as
get_current_pid_tgid. So let's add it sooner rather than later. There
is no cost in allowing this, right?


It shouldn't cost anything only thing is I have code that runs the other
three that has been deployed, at least into a dev environment, so I know
its useful and works.

How about we push it as a follow up? I can add it and do some cleanups
on the CHECK_FAILs tonight.

Sure, no worries, works for me.

Ok, applied then, thanks!
