bpf: Add cookie object to bpf maps

From:  Daniel Borkmann <daniel-AT-iogearbox.net>
To:  ast-AT-kernel.org
Subject:  [PATCH bpf-next 1/4] bpf: Add cookie object to bpf maps
Date:  Mon, 28 Jul 2025 00:32:20 +0200
Message-ID:  <20250727223223.510058-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>
Cc:  andrii-AT-kernel.org, bpf-AT-vger.kernel.org
Archive-link:  Article

Add a cookie to BPF maps to uniquely identify BPF maps for the timespan
when the node is up. This is different to comparing a pointer or BPF map
id which could get rolled over and reused.
