+ * int bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_tunnel_key *key, u32 size, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Get tunnel metadata. This helper takes a pointer *key* to an
+ * empty **struct bpf_tunnel_key** of **size**, that will be
+ * filled with tunnel metadata for the packet associated to *skb*.
+ * The *flags* can be set to **BPF_F_TUNINFO_IPV6**, which
+ * indicates that the tunnel is based on IPv6 protocol instead of
+ * IPv4.
+ *
+ * The **struct bpf_tunnel_key** is an object that generalizes the
+ * principal parameters used by various tunneling protocols into a
+ * single struct. This way, it can be used to easily make a
+ * decision based on the contents of the encapsulation header,
+ * "summarized" in this struct. In particular, it holds the IP
+ * address of the remote end (IPv4 or IPv6, depending on the case)
+ * in *key*\ **->remote_ipv4** or *key*\ **->remote_ipv6**. Also,
+ * this struct exposes the *key*\ **->tunnel_id**, which is
+ * generally mapped to a VNI (Virtual Network Identifier), making
+ * it programmable together with the **bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key**\
+ * () helper.
+ *
+ * Let's imagine that the following code is part of a program
+ * attached to the TC ingress interface, on one end of a GRE
+ * tunnel, and is supposed to filter out all messages coming from
+ * remote ends with IPv4 address other than 10.0.0.1:
+ *
+ * ::
+ *
+ * int ret;
+ * struct bpf_tunnel_key key = {};
+ *
+ * ret = bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(skb, &key, sizeof(key), 0);
+ * if (ret < 0)
+ * return TC_ACT_SHOT; // drop packet
+ *
+ * if (key.remote_ipv4 != 0x0a000001)
+ * return TC_ACT_SHOT; // drop packet
+ *
+ * return TC_ACT_OK; // accept packet
+ *
+ * This interface can also be used with all encapsulation devices
+ * that can operate in "collect metadata" mode: instead of having
+ * one network device per specific configuration, the "collect
+ * metadata" mode only requires a single device where the
+ * configuration can be extracted from this helper.
+ *
+ * This can be used together with various tunnels such as VXLan,
+ * Geneve, GRE or IP in IP (IPIP).
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_tunnel_key *key, u32 size, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Populate tunnel metadata for packet associated to *skb.* The
+ * tunnel metadata is set to the contents of *key*, of *size*. The
+ * *flags* can be set to a combination of the following values:
+ *
+ * **BPF_F_TUNINFO_IPV6**
+ * Indicate that the tunnel is based on IPv6 protocol
+ * instead of IPv4.
+ * **BPF_F_ZERO_CSUM_TX**
+ * For IPv4 packets, add a flag to tunnel metadata
+ * indicating that checksum computation should be skipped
+ * and checksum set to zeroes.
+ * **BPF_F_DONT_FRAGMENT**
+ * Add a flag to tunnel metadata indicating that the
+ * packet should not be fragmented.
+ * **BPF_F_SEQ_NUMBER**
+ * Add a flag to tunnel metadata indicating that a
+ * sequence number should be added to tunnel header before
+ * sending the packet. This flag was added for GRE
+ * encapsulation, but might be used with other protocols
+ * as well in the future.
+ *
+ * Here is a typical usage on the transmit path:
+ *
+ * ::
+ *
+ * struct bpf_tunnel_key key;
+ * populate key ...
+ * bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(skb, &key, sizeof(key), 0);
+ * bpf_clone_redirect(skb, vxlan_dev_ifindex, 0);
+ *
+ * See also the description of the **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key**\ ()
+ * helper for additional information.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_redirect(u32 ifindex, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Redirect the packet to another net device of index *ifindex*.
+ * This helper is somewhat similar to **bpf_clone_redirect**\
+ * (), except that the packet is not cloned, which provides
+ * increased performance.
+ *
+ * Except for XDP, both ingress and egress interfaces can be used
+ * for redirection. The **BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used
+ * to make the distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag
+ * is present, egress path otherwise). Currently, XDP only
+ * supports redirection to the egress interface, and accepts no
+ * flag at all.
+ *
+ * The same effect can be attained with the more generic
+ * **bpf_redirect_map**\ (), which requires specific maps to be
+ * used but offers better performance.
+ * Return
+ * For XDP, the helper returns **XDP_REDIRECT** on success or
+ * **XDP_ABORTED** on error. For other program types, the values
+ * are **TC_ACT_REDIRECT** on success or **TC_ACT_SHOT** on
+ * error.
+ *
+ * int bpf_perf_event_output(struct pt_reg *ctx, struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags, void *data, u64 size)
+ * Description
+ * Write raw *data* blob into a special BPF perf event held by
+ * *map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY**. This perf
+ * event must have the following attributes: **PERF_SAMPLE_RAW**
+ * as **sample_type**, **PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE** as **type**, and
+ * **PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT** as **config**.
+ *
+ * The *flags* are used to indicate the index in *map* for which
+ * the value must be put, masked with **BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**.
+ * Alternatively, *flags* can be set to **BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU**
+ * to indicate that the index of the current CPU core should be
+ * used.
+ *
+ * The value to write, of *size*, is passed through eBPF stack and
+ * pointed by *data*.
+ *
+ * The context of the program *ctx* needs also be passed to the
+ * helper.
+ *
+ * On user space, a program willing to read the values needs to
+ * call **perf_event_open**\ () on the perf event (either for
+ * one or for all CPUs) and to store the file descriptor into the
+ * *map*. This must be done before the eBPF program can send data
+ * into it. An example is available in file
+ * *samples/bpf/trace_output_user.c* in the Linux kernel source
+ * tree (the eBPF program counterpart is in
+ * *samples/bpf/trace_output_kern.c*).
+ *
+ * **bpf_perf_event_output**\ () achieves better performance
+ * than **bpf_trace_printk**\ () for sharing data with user
+ * space, and is much better suitable for streaming data from eBPF
+ * programs.
+ *
+ * Note that this helper is not restricted to tracing use cases
+ * and can be used with programs attached to TC or XDP as well,
+ * where it allows for passing data to user space listeners. Data
+ * can be:
+ *
+ * * Only custom structs,
+ * * Only the packet payload, or
+ * * A combination of both.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_get_stackid(struct pt_reg *ctx, struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Walk a user or a kernel stack and return its id. To achieve
+ * this, the helper needs *ctx*, which is a pointer to the context
+ * on which the tracing program is executed, and a pointer to a
+ * *map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE**.
+ *
+ * The last argument, *flags*, holds the number of stack frames to
+ * skip (from 0 to 255), masked with
+ * **BPF_F_SKIP_FIELD_MASK**. The next bits can be used to set
+ * a combination of the following flags:
+ *
+ * **BPF_F_USER_STACK**
+ * Collect a user space stack instead of a kernel stack.
+ * **BPF_F_FAST_STACK_CMP**
+ * Compare stacks by hash only.
+ * **BPF_F_REUSE_STACKID**
+ * If two different stacks hash into the same *stackid*,
+ * discard the old one.
+ *
+ * The stack id retrieved is a 32 bit long integer handle which
+ * can be further combined with other data (including other stack
+ * ids) and used as a key into maps. This can be useful for
+ * generating a variety of graphs (such as flame graphs or off-cpu
+ * graphs).
+ *
+ * For walking a stack, this helper is an improvement over
+ * **bpf_probe_read**\ (), which can be used with unrolled loops
+ * but is not efficient and consumes a lot of eBPF instructions.
+ * Instead, **bpf_get_stackid**\ () can collect up to
+ * **PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH** both kernel and user frames. Note that
+ * this limit can be controlled with the **sysctl** program, and
+ * that it should be manually increased in order to profile long
+ * user stacks (such as stacks for Java programs). To do so, use:
+ *
+ * ::
+ *
+ * # sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack=<new value>
+ *
+ * Return
+ * The positive or null stack id on success, or a negative error
+ * in case of failure.
+ *
+ * u64 bpf_get_current_task(void)
+ * Return
+ * A pointer to the current task struct.
