Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
583bbf0624
For TCP tx zero-copy, the kernel notifies the process of completions by queuing completion notifications on the socket error queue. This patch allows reading these notifications via recvmsg to support TCP tx zero-copy. Ancillary data was originally disallowed due to privilege escalation via io_uring's offloading of sendmsg() onto a kernel thread with kernel credentials (https://crbug.com/project-zero/1975). So, we must ensure that the socket type is one where the ancillary data types that are delivered on recvmsg are plain data (no file descriptors or values that are translated based on the identity of the calling process). This was tested by using io_uring to call recvmsg on the MSG_ERRQUEUE with tx zero-copy enabled. Before this patch, we received -EINVALID from this specific code path. After this patch, we could read tcp tx zero-copy completion notifications from the MSG_ERRQUEUE.

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.
