Stefan Hajnoczi c759116a0b ss: add AF_VSOCK support
The AF_VSOCK address family is a host<->guest communications channel
supported by VMware, KVM, and Hyper-V.  Initial VMware support was
released in Linux 3.9 in 2013 and transports for other hypervisors were
added later.

AF_VSOCK addresses are <u32 cid, u32 port> tuples.  The 32-bit cid
integer is comparable to an IP address.  AF_VSOCK ports work like
TCP/UDP ports.

Both SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM socket types are available.

This patch adds AF_VSOCK support to ss(8) so that sockets can be
observed.

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.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.

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.
