mcslock: add MCS queued lock implementation If there are multiple threads contending, they all attempt to take the spinlock lock at the same time once it is released. This results in a huge amount of processor bus traffic, which is a huge performance killer. Thus, if we somehow order the lock-takers so that they know who is next in line for the resource we can vastly reduce the amount of bus traffic. This patch added MCS lock library. It provides scalability by spinning on a CPU/thread local variable which avoids expensive cache bouncings. It provides fairness by maintaining a list of acquirers and passing the lock to each CPU/thread in the order they acquired the lock.

eal: replace libc-based random generation with LFSR This commit replaces rte_rand()'s use of lrand48() with a DPDK-native combined Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) (also known as Tausworthe) pseudo-random number generator. This generator is faster and produces better-quality random numbers than the linear congruential generator (LCG) of lib's lrand48(). The implementation, as opposed to lrand48(), is multi-thread safe in regards to concurrent rte_rand() calls from different lcore threads. A LCG is still used, but only to seed the five per-lcore LFSR sequences. In addition, this patch also addresses the issue of the legacy implementation only producing 62 bits of pseudo randomness, while the API requires all 64 bits to be random. This pseudo-random number generator is not cryptographically secure - just like lrand48().

If packet is larger the specified value, the packet data won't be copied by the driver at all, data buffer is addressed with a pointer.

net/af_xdp: enable zero copy by external mbuf Implement zero copy of af_xdp pmd through mbuf's external memory mechanism to achieve high performance. This patch also provides a new parameter "pmd_zero_copy" for user, so they can choose to enable zero copy of af_xdp pmd or not. To be clear, "zero copy" here is different from the "zero copy mode" of AF_XDP, it is about zero copy between af_xdp umem and mbuf used in dpdk application.

config: disable armv8 crypto extension Per armv8 crypto extension support, make build always enable it by default as long as compiler supports the feature while meson build only enables it for 'default' machine of generic armv8 architecture. It is known that not all the armv8 platforms have the crypto extension. For example, Mellanox BlueField has a variant which doesn't have it. If crypto enabled binary runs on such a platform, rte_eal_init() fails. '+crypto' flag currently implies only '+aes' and '+sha2' and enabling it will generate the crypto instructions only when crypto intrinsics are used. For the devices supporting 8.2 crypto or newer, compiler could generate such instructions beyond intrinsics or asm code. For example, compiler can generate 3-way exclusive OR instructions if sha3 is supported. However, it has to be enabled by adding '+sha3' as of today. In DPDK, armv8 cryptodev is the only one which requires the crypto support. As it even uses external library of Marvell which is compiled out of DPDK with crypto support and there's run-time check for required cpuflags, crypto support can be disabled in DPDK.

ip_frag: remove IP checkum offload flag Currently PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM is being set into mbuf->ol_flags during fragmentation and reassemble operation implicitly. Because of this, application is forced to use checksum offload whether it is supported by platform or not. Also documentation does not provide any expected value of ol_flags in returned mbuf (reassembled or fragmented) so application will never come to know that which offloads are enabled. So transmission may be failed for the platforms which does not support checksum offload. Also, IPv6 does not contain any checksum field in header so setting mbuf->ol_flags with PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM is itself invalid. So removing mentioned flag from the library.

drivers/raw: standardize naming The driver names for rawdevs were both different in make and meson builds and were non-standard in the make version in that some included "rawdev" in the name while others didn't. Therefore, for global consistency of naming, we can use "rte_rawdev" rather than "rte_pmd" for the prefix for the libraries. While most other driver categories use "rte_pmd" as a prefix, there is precedent for this in the mempool drivers use "rte_mempool" as a prefix.
