commit12aa8a9467upstream. With the introduction of the struct_ops program type, it became possible to implement kernel functionality in BPF, making it viable to use BPF in place of a regular kernel module for these particular operations. Thus far, the only user of this mechanism is for implementing TCP congestion control algorithms. These are clearly marked as GPL-only when implemented as modules (as seen by the use of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for tcp_register_congestion_control()), so it seems like an oversight that this was not carried over to BPF implementations. Since this is the only user of the struct_ops mechanism, just enforcing GPL-only for the struct_ops program type seems like the simplest way to fix this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
