The retval value is moved to struct bpf_cg_run_ctx for ease of access in different prog types with different context structs layouts. The helper implementation (to be added in a later patch in the series) can simply perform a container_of from current->bpf_ctx to retrieve bpf_cg_run_ctx. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to access the current task_struct via the verifier BPF bytecode rewrite, aside from possibly calling a helper, so a pointer to current task is added to struct bpf_sockopt_kern so that the rewritten BPF bytecode can access struct bpf_cg_run_ctx with an indirection. For backward compatibility, if a getsockopt program rejects a syscall by returning 0, an -EPERM will be generated, by having the BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY_CG family macros automatically set the retval to -EPERM. Unlike prior to this patch, this -EPERM will be visible to ctx->retval for any other hooks down the line in the prog array. Additionally, the restriction that getsockopt filters can only set the retval to 0 is removed, considering that certain getsockopt implementations may return optlen. Filters are now able to set the value arbitrarily.

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.
