06c047b680 remove unnecessary null checks
Functions like free, rte_free, and rte_mempool_free
already handle NULL pointer so the checks here are not necessary.

Remove redundant NULL pointer checks before free functions
found by nullfree.cocci

a99a311ba1 app/pdump: exit with primary process
The pdump tool works as the secondary process. When the primary process
exits and the residual secondary process keeps running, it will make the
primary process can't start up again. Since the ex-fbarry files are still
attached by the secondary process pdump, the 'new' primary process can't
get these files locked.

The patch is to set up an alarm which runs every 0.5s periodically
to monitor the primary process in the pdump. Once the primary exits,
so will the pdump.

a9dbe18022 fix ethdev port id validation
Some DPDK applications wrongly assume these requirements:
    - no hotplug, i.e. ports are never detached
    - all allocated ports are available to the application

Such application assume a valid port index is in the range [0..count[.

There are three consequences when using such wrong design:
    - new ports having an index higher than the port count won't be valid
    - old ports being detached (RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED) can be valid

Such mistake will be less common with growing hotplug awareness.
All applications and examples inside this repository - except testpmd -
must be fixed to use the function rte_eth_dev_is_valid_port.

feb9f680cd mk: optimize directory dependencies
Before this patch, the management of dependencies between directories
had several issues:

- the generation of .depdirs, done at configuration is slow: it can take
  more than one minute on some slow targets (usually ~10s on a standard
  PC without -j).

- for instance, it is possible to express a dependency like:
  - app/foo depends on lib/librte_foo
  - and lib/librte_foo depends on app/bar
  But this won't work because the directories are traversed with a
  depth-first algorithm, so we have to choose between doing 'app' before
  or after 'lib'.

- the script depdirs-rule.sh is too complex.

- we cannot use "make -d" for debug, because the output of make is used for
  the generation of .depdirs.

This patch moves the DEPDIRS-* variables in the upper Makefile, making
the dependencies much easier to calculate. A DEPDIRS variable is still
used to process library dependencies in LDLIBS.

After this commit, "make config" is almost immediate.

a5d7a3f77d unify tools naming
The following tools may be installed system-wide.
It may be cleaner and more convenient to find them with the same
dpdk- prefix (especially for autocompletion).
Moreover, the script dpdk_nic_bind.py deserves a new name because it is
not restricted to NICs and can be used for e.g. crypto.

These files are renamed:
pmdinfogen       -> dpdk-pmdinfogen
pmdinfo.py       -> dpdk-pmdinfo.py
dpdk_pdump       -> dpdk-pdump
dpdk_proc_info   -> dpdk-procinfo
dpdk_nic_bind.py -> dpdk-devbind.py
setup.sh         -> dpdk-setup.sh

The tools pmdinfogen, pmdinfo.py and dpdk_pdump are new in 16.07.

The scripts dpdk_nic_bind.py and setup.sh may have been used with
previous releases by end users. That's why a symbolic link still
provide the old name in the installed tools directory.

caa7028276 app/pdump: add tool for packet capturing
The new pdump tool is added for packet capturing on dpdk.
This tool runs as secondary process by default.
Tool facilitates the command line options like
port, device_id, queue which user should pass on
to the tool to request the packet capture on those devices.

Tool creates the rte ring, mempool and pcap vdev and
calls the enable API of the pdump library with port/device_id,
queue, ring and mempool as arguments to enable the packet
capture on specific devices and gets the packets from the
primary process over the ring. Once the packets are
received, those packets will be send to the pcap vdev.

Tool can be terminated by using ctrl+c(SIGINT) upon which tool
calls the disable API of the pdump library to disable the packet capture
and dequeues the rest of the packets from the ring and sends them on
to the pcap vdev, then after releases all allocated resources.
