Call the mlockall() function, to attempt to lock all of its process
memory into physical RAM, and preventing the kernel from paging any

When using testpmd for performance testing, depending on the code path
taken, we see a couple of page faults in a row. These faults effect
the overall drop-rate of testpmd. On Linux the mlockall() call will
prefault all the pages of testpmd (and the DPDK libraries if linked
dynamically), even without LD_BIND_NOW.

Normally, command line argument strings are considered immutable, but
SPDK [1] and urdma [2] construct argv arrays to pass to rte_eal_init().
These strings are allocated using malloc() and freed after DPDK
initialization with free(). However, in the case of --file-prefix and
--huge-dir, DPDK takes the pointer to these strings in argv directly. If
a secondary process calls rte_eal_pci_probe() after rte_eal_init()
returns, as is done by SPDK, this causes a use-after-free error because
the strings have been freed by the calling code immediately after
rte_eal_init() returns.
This problem was observed when running SPDK example programs as a
secondary process and causes the secondary processes to fail:
Starting DPDK 16.11.1 initialization...
[ DPDK EAL parameters: identify -c 4 --file-prefix=spdk3260 --base-virtaddr=0x1000000000 --proc-type=auto ]

EAL: cannot connect to primary process!
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
Cause: Requested device 0000:81:00.0 cannot be used
Running strace shows that the file prefix has been zero'd out by the
time that the secondary process attempts to probe the NVMe device.
The use-after-free errors can be easily detected with valgrind:

Fix this by using strdup() to create separate memory buffers for these
strings. Note that this patch will cause valgrind to report memory
leaks of these buffers as there is nowhere to free them. Using static
buffers is an option but would make these strings have a fixed maximum
length whereas there is currently no limit defined by the API.

Currently, enabling assertion have to set CONFIG_RTE_LOG_LEVEL to

path, RTE_LOG_DP_LEVEL is the log level of data path. It's a little bit
hard to understand literally that assertion is decided by control path
LOG_LEVEL, especially assertion used on data path.
On the other hand, DPDK need an assertion enabling switch w/o impacting
log output level, assuming "--log-level" not specified.
Assertion is an important API to balance DPDK high performance and
robustness. To promote assertion usage, it's valuable to unhide
assertion out of COFNIG_RTE_LOG_LEVEL.

Bloom Filter (BF) [1] is a well-known space-efficient
probabilistic data structure that answers set membership queries.
Vector of Bloom Filters (vBF) is an extension to traditional BF
that supports multi-set membership testing. Traditional BF will
return found or not-found for each key. vBF will also return
which set the key belongs to if it is found.
Since each set requires a BF, vBF should be used when set count
is small. vBF's false positive rate could be set appropriately so
that its memory requirement and lookup speed is better in certain
cases comparing to HT based set-summary.
This patch adds the vBF implementation.

One of the set-summary structures is hash-table based
set-summary (HTSS). One example is cuckoo filter [1].
Comparing to a traditional hash table, HTSS has a much more
compact structure. For each element, only one signature and
its corresponding set ID is stored. No key comparison is required
during lookup. For the table structure, there are multiple entries
in each bucket, and the table is composed of many buckets.
Two modes are supported for HTSS, "cache" and "none-cache" modes.
The non-cache mode is similar to the cuckoo filter [1].
When a bucket is full, one entry will be evicted to its
alternative bucket to make space for the new key. The table could
be full and then no more keys could be inserted. This mode has
false-positive rate but no false-negative. Multiple entries
with same signature could stay in the same bucket.
The "cache" mode does not evict key to its alternative bucket
when a bucket is full, an existing key will be evicted out of
the table like a cache. Thus, the table will never reject keys when
it is full. Another property is in each bucket, there cannot be
multiple entries with same signature. The mode could have both
false-positive and false-negative probability.
This patch adds the implementation of HTSS.

Membership library is an extension and generalization of a traditional
filter (for example Bloom Filter and cuckoo filter) structure.
In general, the Membership library is a data structure that provides a
"set-summary" and responds to set-membership queries of whether a
certain element belongs to a set(s). A membership test for an element
will return the set this element belongs to or not-found if the
element is never inserted into the set-summary.
The results of the membership test are not 100% accurate. Certain
false positive or false negative probability could exist. However,
comparing to a "full-blown" complete list of elements, a "set-summary"
is memory efficient and fast on lookup.

this maximum, the entry cannot be added, as it is considered
that the algorithm has encountered an infinite loop.
The problem with the current implementation, is that this
counter was declared as a static variable.
If there are multiple threads adding entries in the same table
or in different tables, they should access different counters,
one per core and per table.
Therefore, the variable has been modified to be non-static.

Some mempool hw like octeontx/fpa block, demands block size
(/total_elem_sz) aligned object start address.
Introducing an MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS flag.
If this flag is set:
- Align object start address(vaddr) to a multiple of total_elt_sz.
- Allocate one additional object. Additional object is needed to make
sure that requested 'n' object gets correctly populated.
Example:
- Let's say that we get 'x' size of memory chunk from memzone.
- And application has requested 'n' object from mempool.
- Ideally, we start using objects at start address 0 to...(x-block_sz)
for n obj.
- Not necessarily first object address i.e. 0 is aligned to block_sz.
- So we derive 'offset' value for block_sz alignment purpose i.e..'off'.
- That 'off' makes sure that start address of object is blk_sz aligned.
- Calculating 'off' may end up sacrificing first block_sz area of
memzone area x. So total number of the object which can fit in the
pool area is n-1, Which is incorrect behavior.
Therefore we request one additional object (/block_sz area) from memzone
when MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS flag is set.
