Stefan Hajnoczi 413a4317ac VSOCK: add sock_diag interface
This patch adds the sock_diag interface for querying sockets from
userspace.  Tools like ss(8) and netstat(8) can use this interface to
list open sockets.

The userspace ABI is defined in <linux/vm_sockets_diag.h> and includes
netlink request and response structs.  The request can query sockets
based on their sk_state (e.g. listening sockets only) and the response
contains socket information fields including the local/remote addresses,
inode number, etc.

This patch does not dump VMCI pending sockets because I have only tested
the virtio transport, which does not use pending sockets.  Support can
be added later by extending vsock_diag_dump() if needed by VMCI users.

Virtual Socket Protocol is a socket protocol similar to TCP/IP
allowing communication between Virtual Machines and hypervisor
or host.
You should also select one or more hypervisor-specific transports
below.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called vsock. If unsure, say N.

Support for PF_VSOCK sockets monitoring interface used by the ss tool.

Enable this module so userspace applications can query open sockets.

This module implements a VMCI transport for Virtual Sockets.
Enable this transport if your Virtual Machine runs on a VMware
hypervisor.

This module implements a Hyper-V transport for Virtual Sockets.
Enable this transport if your Virtual Machine host supports Virtual
Sockets over Hyper-V VMBus.
