In case of the default exception callback, change the behavior of bpf_throw, where the passed cookie value is no longer ignored, but is instead the return value of the default exception callback. As such, we need to place restrictions on the value being passed into bpf_throw in such a case, only allowing those permitted by the check_return_code function. Thus, bpf_throw can now control the return value of the program from each call site without having the user install a custom exception callback just to override the return value when an exception is thrown. We also modify the hidden subprog instructions to now move BPF_REG_1 to BPF_REG_0, so as to set the return value before exit in the default callback.

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.
