David Ahern 1949f82cdf Introduce ip vrf command
'ip vrf' follows the user semnatics established by 'ip netns'.

The 'ip vrf' subcommand supports 3 usages:

1. Run a command against a given vrf:
       ip vrf exec NAME CMD

   Uses the recently committed cgroup/sock BPF option. vrf directory
   is added to cgroup2 mount. Individual vrfs are created under it. BPF
   filter attached to vrf/NAME cgroup2 to set sk_bound_dev_if to the VRF
   device index. From there the current process (ip's pid) is addded to
   the cgroups.proc file and the given command is exected. In doing so
   all AF_INET/AF_INET6 (ipv4/ipv6) sockets are automatically bound to
   the VRF domain.

   The association is inherited parent to child allowing the command to
   be a shell from which other commands are run relative to the VRF.

2. Show the VRF a process is bound to:
       ip vrf id
   This command essentially looks at /proc/pid/cgroup for a "::/vrf/"
   entry with the VRF name following.

3. Show process ids bound to a VRF
       ip vrf pids NAME
   This command dumps the file MNT/vrf/NAME/cgroup.procs since that file
   shows the process ids in the particular vrf cgroup.

This is a set of utilities for Linux networking.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
