====================
Usually when a TCP/UDP connection is initiated, we can bind the socket
to a specific IP attached to an interface in a cgroup/connect hook.
But for pings, this is impossible, as the hook is not being called.
This series adds the invocation for cgroup/connect{4,6} programs to
unprivileged ICMP ping (i.e. ping sockets created with SOCK_DGRAM
IPPROTO_ICMP(V6) as opposed to SOCK_RAW). This also adds a test to
verify that the hooks are being called and invoking bpf_bind() from
within the hook actually binds the socket.
Patch 1 adds the invocation of the hook.
Patch 2 deduplicates write_sysctl in BPF test_progs.
Patch 3 adds the tests for this hook.
v1 -> v2:
* Added static to bindaddr_v6 in prog_tests/connect_ping.c
* Deduplicated much of the test logic in prog_tests/connect_ping.c
* Deduplicated write_sysctl() to test_progs.c
v2 -> v3:
* Renamed variable "obj" to "skel" for the BPF skeleton object in
prog_tests/connect_ping.c
v3 -> v4:
* Fixed error path to destroy skel in prog_tests/connect_ping.c

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.
