selftests/bpf: Add traffic monitor functions.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add functions that capture packets and print log in the background. They
are supposed to be used for debugging flaky network test cases. A monitored
test case should call traffic_monitor_start() to start a thread to capture
packets in the background for a given namespace and call
traffic_monitor_stop() to stop capturing. (Or, option '-m' implemented by
the later patches.)

The above is the output of an example. It shows the packets of a connection
and the name of the file that contains captured packets in the directory
/tmp/tmon_pcap. The file can be loaded by tcpdump or wireshark.

This feature only works if libpcap is available. (Could be found by pkg-config)
