The new helpers bpf_tcp_raw_{gen,check}_syncookie_ipv{4,6} allow an XDP
program to generate SYN cookies in response to TCP SYN packets and to
check those cookies upon receiving the first ACK packet (the final
packet of the TCP handshake).
Unlike bpf_tcp_{gen,check}_syncookie these new helpers don't need a
listening socket on the local machine, which allows to use them together
with synproxy to accelerate SYN cookie generation.

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.
