Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

1This document describes the interfaces /proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6.
2
3These /proc interfaces provide information about currently active TCP
4connections, and are implemented by tcp_get_info() in net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c and
5tcp6_get_info() in net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c, respectively.
6
7It will first list all listening TCP sockets, and next list all established
8TCP connections. A typical entry of /proc/net/tcp would look like this (split
9up into 3 parts because of the length of the line):
