BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER are used in various facilities such as
for SO_REUSEPORT and packet fanout demuxing, packet filtering, kcm,
etc, and yet the only facility they can use is BPF_LD with {BPF_ABS,
BPF_IND} for single byte/half/word access.
Direct packet access is only restricted to tc programs right now,
but we can still facilitate usage by allowing skb_load_bytes() helper
added back then in 05c74e5e53f6 ("bpf: add bpf_skb_load_bytes helper")
that calls skb_header_pointer() similarly to bpf_load_pointer(), but
for stack buffers with larger access size.
Name the previous sk_filter_func_proto() as bpf_base_func_proto()
since this is used everywhere else as well, similarly for the ctx
converter, that is, bpf_convert_ctx_access().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
