This adds utility to check vsock rx/tx performance.

Usage as sender:
./vsock_perf --sender <cid> --port <port> --bytes <bytes to send)

Little typo "<bytes to send>". I mean replace `)` with `>`

Usage as receiver:
./vsock_perf --port <port> --rcvlowat <SO_RCVLOWAT>

+vsock_perf utility
+-------------------
+'vsock_perf' is a simple tool to measure vsock performance. It works in
+sender/receiver modes: sender connect to peer at the specified port and
+starts data transmission to the receiver. After data processing is done,
+it prints several metrics(see below).
+
+Usage:
+# run as sender
+# connect to CID 2, port 1234, send 1G of data, tx buf size is 1M
+./vsock_perf --sender 2 --port 1234 --bytes 1G --buf-size 1M
+
+Output:
+tx performance: A Gb/s
+
+Output explanation:
+A is calculated as "number of bytes to send" / "time in tx loop"
+
+# run as receiver
+# listen port 1234, rx buf size is 1M, socket buf size is 1G, SO_RCVLOWAT is 64K
+./vsock_perf --port 1234 --buf-size 1M --vsk-size 1G --rcvlowat 64K
+
+Output:
+rx performance: A Gb/s
+total in 'read()': B sec
+POLLIN wakeups: C
+average in 'read()': D ns
+
+Output explanation:
+A is calculated as "number of received bytes" / "time in rx loop".
+B is time, spent in 'read()' system call(excluding 'poll()')
+C is number of 'poll()' wake ups with POLLIN bit set.
+D is B / C, e.g. average amount of time, spent in single 'read()'.

I don't know if it would be useful, but maybe we can also print the total number of bytes and the time spent (the same in the receiver as well).

Here I would add

tx_end_ns = current_nsec();

Then use it later.

+
+ printf("tx performance: %f Gb/s\n",
+ get_gbps(total_send, current_nsec() - tx_begin_ns));
+

Did you compared the performance with iperf-vsock and uperf?

I see an order of magnitude difference but I did not have time to check all the parameters to make a fair comparison. It would be helpful if you can compare and report it.

Thanks,
Stefano
