Pavel Emelyanov 96ec632714 packet: Diag core and basic socket info dumping
The diag module can be built independently from the af_packet.ko one,
just like it's done in unix sockets.

The core dumping message carries the info available at socket creation
time, i.e. family, type and protocol (in the same byte order as shown in
the proc file).

The socket inode number and cookie is reserved for future per-socket info
retrieving. The per-protocol filtering is also reserved for future by
requiring the sdiag_protocol to be zero.

config PACKET
tristate "Packet socket"
---help---
The Packet protocol is used by applications which communicate
directly with network devices without an intermediate network
protocol implemented in the kernel, e.g. tcpdump. If you want them
to work, choose Y.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
be called af_packet.
If unsure, say Y.
config PACKET_DIAG
tristate "Packet: sockets monitoring interface"
depends on PACKET
default n
---help---
Support for PF_PACKET sockets monitoring interface used by the ss tool.
If unsure, say Y.
