+ * 		nature of the perf event counter is selected at the creation of
+ * 		the *map*. The *map* is an array whose size is the number of
+ * 		available CPU cores, and each cell contains a value relative to
+ * 		one core. The value to retrieve is indicated by *flags*, that
+ * 		contains the index of the core to look up, masked with
+ * 		**BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**. Alternatively, *flags* can be set to
+ * 		**BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU** to indicate that the value for the

+ * 	Description
+ * 		Grows headroom of packet associated to *skb* and adjusts the
+ * 		offset of the MAC header accordingly, adding *len* bytes of
+ * 		space. It automatically extends and reallocates memory as
+ * 		required.
+ *
+ * 		This helper can be used on a layer 3 *skb* to push a MAC header
+ * 		for redirection into a layer 2 device.
+ *
+ * 		All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * 		be left at zero.
+ *
+ * 		A call to this helper is susceptible to change data from the
+ * 		packet. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * 		previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * 		performed again.

+ * 		0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.

+ * int bpf_xdp_adjust_head(struct xdp_buff *xdp_md, int delta)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Adjust (move) *xdp_md*\ **->data** by *delta* bytes. Note that
+ * 		it is possible to use a negative value for *delta*. This helper

+ * int bpf_probe_read_str(void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_ptr)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Copy a NUL terminated string from an unsafe address
+ * 		*unsafe_ptr* to *dst*. The *size* should include the
+ * 		terminating NUL byte. In case the string length is smaller than
+ * 		*size*, the target is not padded with further NUL bytes. If the
+ * 		string length is larger than *size*, just *size*-1 bytes are
+ * 		copied and the last byte is set to NUL.
+ *
+ * 		On success, the length of the copied string is returned. This
+ * 		makes this helper useful in tracing programs for reading
+ * 		strings, and more importantly to get its length at runtime. See
+ * 		the following snippet:
+ *
+ * 		::
+ *
+ * 			SEC("kprobe/sys_open")
+ * 			void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx)
+ * 			{
+ * 			        char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256
+ * 			        int res = bpf_probe_read_str(buf, sizeof(buf),
+ * 				                             ctx->di);
+ *
+ * 				// Consume buf, for example push it to
+ * 				// userspace via bpf_perf_event_output(); we
+ * 				// can use res (the string length) as event
+ * 				// size, after checking its boundaries.
+ * 			}
+ *
+ * 		In comparison, using **bpf_probe_read()** helper here instead
+ * 		to read the string would require to estimate the length at
+ * 		compile time, and would often result in copying more memory
+ * 		than necessary.
+ *
+ * 		Another useful use case is when parsing individual process
+ * 		arguments or individual environment variables navigating
+ * 		*current*\ **->mm->arg_start** and *current*\
+ * 		**->mm->env_start**: using this helper and the return value,
+ * 		one can quickly iterate at the right offset of the memory area.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		On success, the strictly positive length of the string,
+ * 		including the trailing NUL character. On error, a negative
+ * 		value.
+ *
+ * u64 bpf_get_socket_cookie(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Description
+ * 		Retrieve the socket cookie generated by the kernel from a
+ * 		**struct sk_buff** with a known socket. If none has been set
+ * 		yet, generate a new cookie. This helper can be useful for
+ * 		monitoring per socket networking traffic statistics as it
+ * 		provides a unique socket identifier per namespace.
+ * 	Return
+ * 		A 8-byte long non-decreasing number on success, or 0 if the
+ * 		socket field is missing inside *skb*.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_socket_uid(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * 	Return
+ * 		The owner UID of the socket associated to *skb*. If the socket
+ * 		is **NULL**, or if it is not a full socket (i.e. if it is a
+ * 		time-wait or a request socket instead), **overflowuid** value
+ * 		is returned (note that **overflowuid** might also be the actual
+ * 		UID value for the socket).
+ *
  * u32 bpf_set_hash(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 hash)
  * 	Description
  * 		Set the full hash for *skb* (set the field *skb*\ **->hash**)
