This patch provides a tcp_bpf based eBPF sample. The test - ncat(1) as the TCP client program to connect() to a port with the intention of triggerring SYN retransmissions: we first install an iptables DROP rule to make sure ncat SYNs are resent (instead of aborting instantly after a TCP RST) - has a bpf kernel module that sends a perf-event notification for each TCP retransmit, and also tracks the number of such notifications sent in the global_map The test passes when the number of event notifications intercepted in user-space matches the value in the global_map.

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.
