Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi 156f886cf6 samples: bpf: Add basic infrastructure for XDP samples
This file implements some common helpers to consolidate differences in
features and functionality between the various XDP samples and give them
a consistent look, feel, and reporting capabilities.

This commit only adds support for receive statistics, which does not
rely on any tracepoint, but on the XDP program installed on the device
by each XDP redirect sample.

Some of the key features are:
 * A concise output format accompanied by helpful text explaining its
   fields.
 * An elaborate output format building upon the concise one, and folding
   out details in case of errors and staying out of view otherwise.
 * Printing driver names for devices redirecting packets.
 * Getting mac address for interface.
 * Printing summarized total statistics for the entire session.
 * Ability to dynamically switch between concise and verbose mode, using
   SIGQUIT (Ctrl + \).

In later patches, the support will be extended for each tracepoint with
its own custom output in concise and verbose mode.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
