Add a eBPF helper function to retrieve socket uid
Returns the owner uid of the socket inside a sk_buff. This is useful to perform per-UID accounting of network traffic or per-UID packet filtering. The socket need to be a fullsock otherwise overflowuid is returned. Signed-off-by: Chenbo Feng <fengc@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
