"Post-hooks" are hooks that are called right before returning from
sys_bind. At this time IP and port are already allocated and no further
changes to `struct sock` can happen before returning from sys_bind but
BPF program has a chance to inspect the socket and change sys_bind
result.
Specifically it can e.g. inspect what port was allocated and if it
doesn't satisfy some policy, BPF program can force sys_bind to fail and
return EPERM to user.
Another example of usage is recording the IP:port pair to some map to
use it in later calls to sys_connect. E.g. if some TCP server inside
cgroup was bound to some IP:port_n, it can be recorded to a map. And
later when some TCP client inside same cgroup is trying to connect to
127.0.0.1:port_n, BPF hook for sys_connect can override the destination
and connect application to IP:port_n instead of 127.0.0.1:port_n. That
helps forcing all applications inside a cgroup to use desired IP and not
break those applications if they e.g. use localhost to communicate
between each other.
== Implementation details ==
Post-hooks are implemented as two new attach types
`BPF_CGROUP_INET4_POST_BIND` and `BPF_CGROUP_INET6_POST_BIND` for
existing prog type `BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK`.
Separate attach types for IPv4 and IPv6 are introduced to avoid access
to IPv6 field in `struct sock` from `inet_bind()` and to IPv4 field from
`inet6_bind()` since those fields might not make sense in such cases.
