bpf_get_socket_cookie() helper can be used to identify skb that correspond to the same socket. Though socket cookie can be useful in many other use-cases where socket is available in program context. Specifically BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR and BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS programs can benefit from it so that one of them can augment a value in a map prepared earlier by other program for the same socket. The patch adds support to call bpf_get_socket_cookie() from BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR and BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS. It doesn't introduce new helpers. Instead it reuses same helper name bpf_get_socket_cookie() but adds support to this helper to accept `struct bpf_sock_addr` and `struct bpf_sock_ops`. Documentation in bpf.h is changed in a way that should not break automatic generation of markdown.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
