BPF program calculates a couple of latency deltas between each tx
timestamping callbacks. It can be used in the real world to diagnose
the kernel behaviour in the tx path.
Check the safety issues by accessing a few bpf calls in
bpf_test_access_bpf_calls() which are implemented in the patch 3 and 4.
Check if the bpf timestamping can co-exist with socket timestamping.
There remains a few realistic things[1][2] to highlight:
1. in general a packet may pass through multiple qdiscs. For instance
with bonding or tunnel virtual devices in the egress path.
2. packets may be resent, in which case an ACK might precede a repeat
SCHED and SND.
3. erroneous or malicious peers may also just never send an ACK.
