When multiple programs are attached, each program receives the return
value from the previous program on the stack and the last program
provides the return value to the attached function.
The fmod_ret bpf programs are run after the fentry programs and before
the fexit programs. The original function is only called if all the
fmod_ret programs return 0 to avoid any unintended side-effects. The
success value, i.e. 0 is not currently configurable but can be made so
where user-space can specify it at load time.
For example:
int func_to_be_attached(int a, int b)
{ <--- do_fentry
do_fmod_ret:
<update ret by calling fmod_ret>
if (ret != 0)
goto do_fexit;
original_function:
<side_effects_happen_here>
} <--- do_fexit
The fmod_ret program attached to this function can be defined as:
SEC("fmod_ret/func_to_be_attached")
int BPF_PROG(func_name, int a, int b, int ret)
{
// This will skip the original function logic.
return 1;
}
The first fmod_ret program is passed 0 in its return argument.

On compiling samples with this change, one gets an error:
error: ‘strncat’ specified bound 118 equals destination size
[-Werror=stringop-truncation]
strncat(dst, name + section_names[i].len,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sizeof(raw_tp_btf_name) - (dst - raw_tp_btf_name));
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
strncat requires the destination to have enough space for the
terminating null byte.
