This reverts commit 1f86123b9749 ("net: align SO_RCVMARK required
privileges with SO_MARK") because the reasoning in the commit message
is not really correct:
SO_RCVMARK is used for 'reading' incoming skb mark (via cmsg), as such
it is more equivalent to 'getsockopt(SO_MARK)' which has no priv check
and retrieves the socket mark, rather than 'setsockopt(SO_MARK) which
sets the socket mark and does require privs.
Additionally incoming skb->mark may already be visible if
sysctl_fwmark_reflect and/or sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept are enabled.
Furthermore, it is easier to block the getsockopt via bpf
(either cgroup setsockopt hook, or via syscall filters)
then to unblock it if it requires CAP_NET_RAW/ADMIN.
On Android the socket mark is (among other things) used to store
the network identifier a socket is bound to. Setting it is privileged,
but retrieving it is not. We'd like unprivileged userspace to be able
to read the network id of incoming packets (where mark is set via
iptables [to be moved to bpf])...
An alternative would be to add another sysctl to control whether
setting SO_RCVMARK is privilged or not.
(or even a MASK of which bits in the mark can be exposed)
But this seems like over-engineering...
Note: This is a non-trivial revert, due to later merged commit e42c7beee71d
("bpf: net: Consider has_current_bpf_ctx() when testing capable() in sk_setsockopt()")
which changed both 'ns_capable' into 'sockopt_ns_capable' calls.

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.
