bpf: Post-hooks for sys_bind
"Post-hooks" are hooks that are called right before returning from sys_bind. At this time IP and port are already allocated and no further changes to `struct sock` can happen before returning from sys_bind but BPF program has a chance to inspect the socket and change sys_bind result. Specifically it can e.g. inspect what port was allocated and if it doesn't satisfy some policy, BPF program can force sys_bind to fail and return EPERM to user. Another example of usage is recording the IP:port pair to some map to use it in later calls to sys_connect. E.g. if some TCP server inside cgroup was bound to some IP:port_n, it can be recorded to a map. And later when some TCP client inside same cgroup is trying to connect to 127.0.0.1:port_n, BPF hook for sys_connect can override the destination and connect application to IP:port_n instead of 127.0.0.1:port_n. That helps forcing all applications inside a cgroup to use desired IP and not break those applications if they e.g. use localhost to communicate between each other. == Implementation details == Post-hooks are implemented as two new attach types `BPF_CGROUP_INET4_POST_BIND` and `BPF_CGROUP_INET6_POST_BIND` for existing prog type `BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK`. Separate attach types for IPv4 and IPv6 are introduced to avoid access to IPv6 field in `struct sock` from `inet_bind()` and to IPv4 field from `inet6_bind()` since those fields might not make sense in such cases.
