For brevity, this document uses the type notion "u64", "u32", etc.
to mean an unsigned integer whose width is the specified number of bits.

The eBPF program needs to store the return value into register R0 before doing a
BPF_EXIT.
Example:
``BPF_JSGE | BPF_X | BPF_JMP32`` (0x7e) means::
if (s32)dst s>= (s32)src goto +offset
where 's>=' indicates a signed '>=' comparison.
