/* This example doesn't really do anything useful, but it's purpose is to
 * demonstrate eBPF tail calls on a very simple example.
 *
 * cls_entry() is our classifier entry point, from there we jump based on
 * skb->hash into cls_case1() or cls_case2(). They are both part of the
 * program array jmp_tc. Indicated via __section_tail(), the tc loader
 * populates the program arrays with the loaded file descriptors already.
 *
 * To demonstrate nested jumps, cls_case2() jumps within the same jmp_tc
 * array to cls_case1(). And whenever we arrive at cls_case1(), we jump
 * into cls_exit(), part of the jump array jmp_ex.
 *
 * Also, to show it's possible, all programs share map_sh and dump the value
 * that the entry point incremented. The sections that are loaded into a
 * program array can be atomically replaced during run-time, e.g. to change
 * classifier behaviour.
