This adds the ability for Netlink to report a socket's UID along with the
other UNIX diagnostic information that is already available. This will
allow diagnostic tools greater insight into which users control which
socket.
To test this, do the following as a non-root user:
unshare -U -r bash
nc -l -U user.socket.$$ &
.. and verify from within that same session that Netlink UNIX socket
diagnostics report the socket's UID as 0. Also verify that Netlink UNIX
socket diagnostics report the socket's UID as the user's UID from an
unprivileged process in a different session. Verify the same from
a root process.

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.
