bpf: add bpf_skb_change_tail helper
This work adds a bpf_skb_change_tail() helper for tc BPF programs. The basic idea is to expand or shrink the skb in a controlled manner. The eBPF program can then rewrite the rest via helpers like bpf_skb_store_bytes(), bpf_lX_csum_replace() and others rather than passing a raw buffer for writing here. bpf_skb_change_tail() is really a slow path helper and intended for replies with f.e. ICMP control messages. Concept is similar to other helpers like bpf_skb_change_proto() helper to keep the helper without protocol specifics and let the BPF program mangle the remaining parts. A flags field has been added and is reserved for now should we extend the helper in future. Signed-off-by:Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by:
