If it is to test the kfunc and ensure veth_xdp_rx_timestamp is called, this 
alone should be enough. skb_hwtstamps(_ctx->skb)->hwtstamp should be 0 if 
hwtstamp is unavailable?  The test can initialize the 'u64 *timestamp' arg to 
non-zero first.  If it is not good enough, an fentry tracing can be done to 
veth_xdp_rx_timestamp to ensure it is called also.  There is also fmod_ret that 
could change the return value but the timestamp is not the return value though.

If the above is not enough, another direction of thought could be doing it 
through bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() but it will need a way to initialize the 
veth_xdp_buff.

That said, overall, I don't think it is a good idea to bend the 
veth_xdp_rx_timestamp kfunc too much only for testing purpose unless there is no 
other way out.
