Add bpf_sysctl_get_current_value() helper to copy current sysctl value into provided by BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL program buffer. It provides same string as user space can see by reading corresponding file in /proc/sys/, including new line, etc. Documentation for the new helper is provided in bpf.h UAPI. Since current value is kept in ctl_table->data in a parsed form, ctl_table->proc_handler() with write=0 is called to read that data and convert it to a string. Such a string can later be parsed by a program using helpers that will be introduced separately. Unfortunately it's not trivial to provide API to access parsed data due to variety of data representations (string, intvec, uintvec, ulongvec, custom structures, even NULL, etc). Instead it's assumed that user know how to handle specific sysctl they're interested in and appropriate helpers can be used. Since ctl_table->proc_handler() expects __user buffer, conversion to __user happens for kernel allocated one where the value is stored.

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.
