+ * BPF_TOKEN_CREATE
+ * Description
+ * Create BPF token with embedded information about what
+ * BPF-related functionality it allows:
+ * - a set of allowed bpf() syscall commands;
+ * - a set of allowed BPF map types to be created with
+ * BPF_MAP_CREATE command, if BPF_MAP_CREATE itself is allowed;
+ * - a set of allowed BPF program types and BPF program attach
+ * types to be loaded with BPF_PROG_LOAD command, if
+ * BPF_PROG_LOAD itself is allowed.
+ *
+ * BPF token is created (derived) from an instance of BPF FS,
+ * assuming it has necessary delegation mount options specified.
+ * This BPF token can be passed as an extra parameter to various
+ * bpf() syscall commands to grant BPF subsystem functionality to
+ * unprivileged processes.
+ *
+ * When created, BPF token is "associated" with the owning
+ * user namespace of BPF FS instance (super block) that it was
+ * derived from, and subsequent BPF operations performed with
+ * BPF token would be performing capabilities checks (i.e.,
+ * CAP_BPF, CAP_PERFMON, CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) within
+ * that user namespace. Without BPF token, such capabilities
+ * have to be granted in init user namespace, making bpf()
+ * syscall incompatible with user namespace, for the most part.
+ *
+ * Return
+ * A new file descriptor (a nonnegative integer), or -1 if an
+ * error occurred (in which case, *errno* is set appropriately).
+ *
* NOTES
* eBPF objects (maps and programs) can be shared between processes.
