Sowmini Varadhan 435f90a338 selftests/bpf: add a test case for sock_ops perf-event notification
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.

README

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.
