The helpers continue to use int for retval because all the hooks are int-returning rather than long-returning. The return value of bpf_set_retval is int for future-proofing, in case in the future there may be errors trying to set the retval. After the previous patch, if a program rejects a syscall by returning 0, an -EPERM will be generated no matter if the retval is already set to -err. This patch change it being forced only if retval is not -err. This is because we want to support, for example, invoking bpf_set_retval(-EINVAL) and return 0, and have the syscall return value be -EINVAL not -EPERM. For BPF_PROG_CGROUP_INET_EGRESS_RUN_ARRAY, the prior behavior is that, if the return value is NET_XMIT_DROP, the packet is silently dropped. We preserve this behavior for backward compatibility reasons, so even if an errno is set, the errno does not return to caller. However, setting a non-err to retval cannot propagate so this is not allowed and we return a -EFAULT in that case.
