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)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
