Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi a923819fb2 bpf: Treat first argument as return value for bpf_throw
In case of the default exception callback, change the behavior of
bpf_throw, where the passed cookie value is no longer ignored, but
is instead the return value of the default exception callback. As
such, we need to place restrictions on the value being passed into
bpf_throw in such a case, only allowing those permitted by the
check_return_code function.

Thus, bpf_throw can now control the return value of the program from
each call site without having the user install a custom exception
callback just to override the return value when an exception is thrown.

We also modify the hidden subprog instructions to now move BPF_REG_1 to
BPF_REG_0, so as to set the return value before exit in the default
callback.

README

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.

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.
