[PATCH net-next v2 0/2] bpf: add copy_to_user helper & example

[Sargun Dhillon]

This patch series contains two patches that add support for a copy_to_user
helper to BPF programs. This allows them to manipulate user memory during
the course of tracing. The second patch in the series has an example that
uses it, in one the intended ways to divert execution.

Thanks to Alexei Starovoitov for review, I've made changes based on his
recommendations.
