8751a7e983 efd: allow more CPU sockets in table creation
rte_efd_create() function was using uint8_t for a socket bitmask,
for one of its parameters.
This limits the maximum of NUMA sockets to be 8.
Changing to uint64_t increases it to 64, which should be

4ad8807cfc bitrate: promote free function to stable
rte_stats_bitrate_free() has been in DPDK since 20.11.

Its signature is very basic as it just frees an opaque
data struct allocated in rte_stats_bitrate_create()
and returns void.

It's unlikely that such a basic signature would need to change
so might as well promote it to stable for the next major ABI.

f1f6ebc0ea eal: remove sys/queue.h from public headers
Currently there are some public headers that include 'sys/queue.h', which
is not POSIX, but usually provided by the Linux/BSD system library.
(Not in POSIX.1, POSIX.1-2001, or POSIX.1-2008. Present on the BSDs.)
The file is missing on Windows. During the Windows build, DPDK uses a
bundled copy, so building a DPDK library works fine.  But when OVS or other
applications use DPDK as a library, because some DPDK public headers
include 'sys/queue.h', on Windows, it triggers an error due to no such
file.

One solution is to install the 'lib/eal/windows/include/sys/queue.h' into
Windows environment, such as [1]. However, this means DPDK exports the
functionalities of 'sys/queue.h' into the environment, which might cause
symbols, macros, headers clashing with other applications.

The patch fixes it by removing the "#include <sys/queue.h>" from
DPDK public headers, so programs including DPDK headers don't depend
on the system to provide 'sys/queue.h'. When these public headers use
macros such as TAILQ_xxx, we replace it by the ones with RTE_ prefix.
For Windows, we copy the definitions from <sys/queue.h> to rte_os.h
in Windows EAL. Note that these RTE_ macros are compatible with
<sys/queue.h>, both at the level of API (to use with <sys/queue.h>
macros in C files) and ABI (to avoid breaking it).

Additionally, the TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE is not part of <sys/queue.h>,
the patch replaces it with RTE_TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE.

cf665406b1 eal: remove Windows-specific list of common files
The majority of common EAL sources that are built for all platforms were
listed separately for Windows and for other OS. It seems that developers
adding modules to EAL perceived this as if Windows supported
only a limited subset of modules and only added new ones into another.
Factor the truly common modules into a shared list,
then extend it with modules supported by different platforms.

When the two lists were created, UUID API implementation was removed
from Windows build (apparently by mistake), then excluded from the
export list for no reason other than not being built. Restore it.

6aebb94290 kvargs: add function to get from key and value

name=toto,name=foo,name=bar. This is currently done in drivers/bus with
rte_kvargs_process() + the rte_kvargs_strcmp() handler.

This approach is not straightforward, and can be replaced by this new

f0b538a5f8 security: add option to configure tunnel header verification
Add option to indicate whether outer header verification
need to be done as part of inbound IPsec processing.

With inline IPsec processing, SA lookup would be happening
in the Rx path of rte_ethdev. When rte_flow is configured to
support more than one SA, SPI would be used to lookup SA.
In such cases, additional verification would be required to
ensure duplicate SPIs are not getting processed in the inline path.

For lookaside cases, the same option can be used by application
to offload tunnel verification to the PMD.

These verifications would help in averting possible DoS attacks.

ad7515a39f security: add SA lifetime configuration
Add SA lifetime configuration to register soft and hard expiry limits.
Expiry can be in units of number of packets or bytes. Crypto op
status is also updated to include new field, aux_flags, which can be
used to indicate cases such as soft expiry in case of lookaside
protocol operations.

In case of soft expiry, the packets are successfully IPsec processed but
the soft expiry would indicate that SA needs to be reconfigured. For
inline protocol capable ethdev, this would result in an eth event while
for lookaside protocol capable cryptodev, this can be communicated via
`rte_crypto_op.aux_flags` field.

In case of hard expiry, the packets will not be IPsec processed and
would result in error.

6d1f8c1319 mbuf: enforce semantics for Tx inline IPsec processing
Not all net PMD's/HW can parse packet and identify L2 header and
L3 header locations on Tx. This is inline with other Tx offloads
requirements such as L3 checksum, L4 checksum offload, etc,
where mbuf.l2_len, mbuf.l3_len etc, needs to be set for HW to be
able to generate checksum. Since Inline IPsec is also such a Tx
offload, some PMD's at least need mbuf.l2_len to be valid to
find L3 header and perform Outbound IPSec processing.

Hence, this patch updates documentation to enforce setting
mbuf.l2_len while setting PKT_TX_SEC_OFFLOAD in mbuf.ol_flags
for Inline IPsec Crypto / Protocol offload processing to
work on Tx.

724f3ef422 pipeline: generate custom instruction functions
Generate a C function for each custom instruction, which essentially
consolidate multiple regular instructions into a single function call.
The pipeline program is split into groups of instructions, and a
custom instruction is generated for each group that has more than one
instruction. Special care is taken the instructions that can do thread
yield (RX, extern) and for those that can change the instruction
pointer (TX, near/far jump).

d025528d74 pipeline: generate action functions
Generate a C function for each action. For most instructions, the
associated inline function is called directly. Special care is taken
for TX, jump and return instructions.

fc64098a1a pipeline: introduce pipeline compilation
Lay the foundation to generate C code for the pipeline: C functions
for actions and custom instructions are generated, built as shared
object library and loaded into the pipeline.

dfa9491a18 pipeline: introduce custom instructions
For better performance, the option to create custom instructions when
the program is translated and add them on-the-fly to the pipeline is
now provided. Multiple regular instructions can now be consolidated
into a single C function optimized by the C compiler directly.
