bpf: Add get{peer, sock}name attach types for sock_addr
As stated in 983695fa6765 ("bpf: fix unconnected udp hooks"), the objective for the existing cgroup connect/sendmsg/recvmsg/bind BPF hooks is to be transparent to applications. In Cilium we make use of these hooks [0] in order to enable E-W load balancing for existing Kubernetes service types for all Cilium managed nodes in the cluster. Those backends can be local or remote. The main advantage of this approach is that it operates as close as possible to the socket, and therefore allows to avoid packet-based NAT given in connect/sendmsg/recvmsg hooks we only need to xlate sock addresses. This also allows to expose NodePort services on loopback addresses in the host namespace, for example. As another advantage, this also efficiently blocks bind requests for applications in the host namespace for exposed ports. However, one missing item is that we also need to perform reverse xlation for inet{,6}_getname() hooks such that we can return the service IP/port tuple back to the application instead of the remote peer address. The vast majority of applications does not bother about getpeername(), but in a few occasions we've seen breakage when validating the peer's address since it returns unexpectedly the backend tuple instead of the service one. Therefore, this trivial patch allows to customise and adds a getpeername() as well as getsockname() BPF cgroup hook for both IPv4 and IPv6 in order to address this situation. Simple example: # ./cilium/cilium service list ID Frontend Service Type Backend 1 1.2.3.4:80 ClusterIP 1 => 10.0.0.10:80 Before; curl's verbose output example, no getpeername() reverse xlation: # curl --verbose 1.2.3.4 * Rebuilt URL to: 1.2.3.4/ * Trying 1.2.3.4... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to 1.2.3.4 (10.0.0.10) port 80 (#0) > GET / HTTP/1.1 > Host: 1.2.3.4 > User-Agent: curl/7.58.0 > Accept: */* [...] After; with getpeername() reverse xlation: # curl --verbose 1.2.3.4 * Rebuilt URL to: 1.2.3.4/ * Trying 1.2.3.4... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to 1.2.3.4 (1.2.3.4) port 80 (#0) > GET / HTTP/1.1 > Host: 1.2.3.4 > User-Agent: curl/7.58.0 > Accept: */* [...] Originally, I had both under a BPF_CGROUP_INET{4,6}_GETNAME type and exposed peer to the context similar as in inet{,6}_getname() fashion, but API-wise this is suboptimal as it always enforces programs having to test for ctx->peer which can easily be missed, hence BPF_CGROUP_INET{4,6}_GET{PEER,SOCK}NAME split. Similarly, the checked return code is on tnum_range(1, 1), but if a use case comes up in future, it can easily be changed to return an error code instead. Helper and ctx member access is the same as with connect/sendmsg/etc hooks.
