By default, the subprog generated by the verifier to handle a thrown exception hardcodes a return value of 0. To allow user-defined logic and modification of the return value when an exception is thrown, introduce the 'exception_callback:' declaration tag, which marks a callback as the default exception handler for the program. The format of the declaration tag is 'exception_callback:<value>', where <value> is the name of the exception callback. Each main program can be tagged using this BTF declaratiion tag to associate it with an exception callback. In case the tag is absent, the default callback is used. As such, the exception callback cannot be modified at runtime, only set during verification. Allowing modification of the callback for the current program execution at runtime leads to issues when the programs begin to nest, as any per-CPU state maintaing this information will have to be saved and restored. We don't want it to stay in bpf_prog_aux as this takes a global effect for all programs. An alternative solution is spilling the callback pointer at a known location on the program stack on entry, and then passing this location to bpf_throw as a parameter. However, since exceptions are geared more towards a use case where they are ideally never invoked, optimizing for this use case and adding to the complexity has diminishing returns.
