Commit 82e6b1eee6 ("bpf: Allow to specify user-provided bpf_cookie for
BPF perf links") introduced the concept of user specified bpf_cookie,
which could be accessed by BPF programs using bpf_get_attach_cookie().
For troubleshooting purposes it is convenient to expose bpf_cookie via
bpftool as well, so there is no need to meddle with the target BPF
program itself.
Implemented using the pid iterator BPF program to actually fetch
bpf_cookies, which allows constraining code changes only to bpftool.
$ bpftool link
1: type 7 prog 5
bpf_cookie 123
pids bootstrap(81)

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.
