filter: add ANC_PAY_OFFSET instruction for loading payload start offset
It is very useful to do dynamic truncation of packets. In particular,
we're interested to push the necessary header bytes to the user space and
cut off user payload that should probably not be transferred for some reasons
(e.g. privacy, speed, or others). With the ancillary extension PAY_OFFSET,
we can load it into the accumulator, and return it. E.g. in bpfc syntax ...
ld #poff ; { 0x20, 0, 0, 0xfffff034 },
ret a ; { 0x16, 0, 0, 0x00000000 },
... as a filter will accomplish this without having to do a big hackery in
a BPF filter itself. Follow-up JIT implementations are welcome.
Thanks to Eric Dumazet for suggesting and discussing this during the
Netfilter Workshop in Copenhagen.
