Joe Stringer 6acc9b432e bpf: Add helper to retrieve socket in BPF
This patch adds new BPF helper functions, bpf_sk_lookup_tcp() and
bpf_sk_lookup_udp() which allows BPF programs to find out if there is a
socket listening on this host, and returns a socket pointer which the
BPF program can then access to determine, for instance, whether to
forward or drop traffic. bpf_sk_lookup_xxx() may take a reference on the
socket, so when a BPF program makes use of this function, it must
subsequently pass the returned pointer into the newly added sk_release()
to return the reference.

By way of example, the following pseudocode would filter inbound
connections at XDP if there is no corresponding service listening for
the traffic:

  struct bpf_sock_tuple tuple;
  struct bpf_sock_ops *sk;

  populate_tuple(ctx, &tuple); // Extract the 5tuple from the packet
  sk = bpf_sk_lookup_tcp(ctx, &tuple, sizeof tuple, netns, 0);
  if (!sk) {
    // Couldn't find a socket listening for this traffic. Drop.
    return TC_ACT_SHOT;
  }
  bpf_sk_release(sk, 0);
  return TC_ACT_OK;
