3cc6ecfdfe build: remove makefiles
A decision was made [1] to no longer support Make in DPDK, this patch
removes all Makefiles that do not make use of pkg-config, along with
the mk directory previously used by make.

4f86c0ba19 version: 20.11-rc0
Start a new release cycle with empty release notes.

The ABI version becomes 21.0.
The ABI major is back to normal, having only one number (21 vs 20.0).
The map files are updated to the new ABI major number (21).
The ABI exceptions are dropped.
Travis ABI check is disabled because compatibility is not preserved.

20ab67608a power: add environment capability probing
Currently, there is no way to know if the power management env is
supported without trying to initialize it. The init API also does
not distinguish between failure due to some error and failure due to
power management not being available on the platform in the first
place.

Thus, add an API that provides capability of probing support for a
specific power management API.

meson.build. Instead, enable ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API flag across app, lib

This changes reduces the clutter across the project while still

388c4c03ec power: handle frequency increase with turbo disabled
Calling pstate's or acpi's rte_power_freq_up() when on the highest
non-turbo frequency results in an error, if turbo is enabled in the BIOS,
but disabled via the power library.
The error is in the form of a return code and a RTE_LOG() entry
on the ERR level.

According to the API documentation, the frequency is scaled up
"according to the available frequencies". In case turbo is disabled,
that frequency is not available. This patch's rte_power_freq_up()
behaviour is also consistent with how rte_power_freq_max() is
implemented (i.e. the highest non-turbo frequency is set, in case
turbo is disabled).

fbaf943887 build: remove individual library versions
Since the library versioning for both stable and experimental ABI's is
now managed globally, the LIBABIVER and version variables no longer
serve any useful purpose, and can be removed.

The replacement in Makefiles was done using the following regex:

	^(#.*\n)?LIBABIVER\s*:=\s*\d+\n(\s*\n)?

(LIBABIVER := numbers, optionally preceded by a comment and optionally
succeeded by an empty line)

The replacement for meson files was done using the following regex:

	^(#.*\n)?version\s*=\s*\d+\n(\s*\n)?

(version = numbers, optionally preceded by a comment and optionally
succeeded by an empty line)

[David]: those variables are manually removed for the files:
- drivers/common/qat/Makefile
- lib/librte_eal/meson.build
[David]: the LIBABIVER is restored for the external ethtool example
library.

18218713bf enforce experimental tag at beginning of declarations
Putting a '__attribute__((deprecated))' in the middle of a function
prototype does not result in the expected result with gcc (while clang
is fine with this syntax).

$ cat deprecated.c
void * __attribute__((deprecated)) incorrect() { return 0; }
__attribute__((deprecated)) void *correct(void) { return 0; }
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { incorrect(); correct(); return 0; }
$ gcc -o deprecated.o -c deprecated.c
deprecated.c: In function ‘main’:
deprecated.c:3:1: warning: ‘correct’ is deprecated (declared at
deprecated.c:2) [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { incorrect(); correct(); return 0; }
 ^

Move the tag on a separate line and make it the first thing of function
prototypes.
This is not perfect but we will trust reviewers to catch the other not
so easy to detect patterns.

sed -i \
     -e '/^\([^#].*\)\?__rte_experimental */{' \
     -e 's//\1/; s/ *$//; i\' \
     -e __rte_experimental \
     -e '/^$/d}' \
     $(git grep -l __rte_experimental -- '*.h')

Special mention for rte_mbuf_data_addr_default():

There is either a bug or a (not yet understood) issue with gcc.
gcc won't drop this inline when unused and rte_mbuf_data_addr_default()
calls rte_mbuf_buf_addr() which itself is experimental.
This results in a build warning when not accepting experimental apis
from sources just including rte_mbuf.h.

For this specific case, we hide the call to rte_mbuf_buf_addr() under
the ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API flag.

751227a08d power: fix buffer overruns
A previous change removed the limit of 64 cores by
moving away from 64-bit masks to char arrays. However
this left a buffer overrun issue, where the max channels
was defined as 64, and max cores was defined as 256. These
should all be consistently set to RTE_MAX_LCORE.

The #defines being removed are CHANNEL_CMDS_MAX_CPUS,
CHANNEL_CMDS_MAX_CHANNELS, POWER_MGR_MAX_CPUS, and
CHANNEL_CMDS_MAX_VM_CHANNELS, and are being replaced
with RTE_MAX_LCORE for consistency and simplicity.

e6c6dc0f96 power: add p-state driver compatibility
Previously, in order to use the power library, it was necessary
for the user to disable the intel_pstate driver by adding
“intel_pstate=disable” to the kernel command line for the system,
which causes the acpi_cpufreq driver to be loaded in its place.

This patch adds the ability for the power library use the intel-pstate
driver.

It adds a new suite of functions behind the current power library API,
and will seamlessly set up the user facing API function pointers to
the relevant functions depending on whether the system is running with
acpi_cpufreq kernel driver, intel_pstate kernel driver or in a guest,
using kvm. The library API and ABI is unchanged.

450f079131 power: add traffic pattern aware power control
1. Abstract

For packet processing workloads such as DPDK polling is continuous.
This means CPU cores always show 100% busy independent of how much work
those cores are doing. It is critical to accurately determine how busy
a core is hugely important for the following reasons:

   * No indication of overload conditions.

   * User does not know how much real load is on a system, resulting
     in wasted energy as no power management is utilized.

Compared to the original l3fwd-power design, instead of going to sleep
after detecting an empty poll, the new mechanism just lowers the core
frequency. As a result, the application does not stop polling the device,
which leads to improved handling of bursts of traffic.

When the system become busy, the empty poll mechanism can also increase the
core frequency (including turbo) to do best effort for intensive traffic.
This gives us more flexible and balanced traffic awareness over the
standard l3fwd-power application.

2. Proposed solution

The proposed solution focuses on how many times empty polls are executed.
The less the number of empty polls, means current core is busy with
processing workload, therefore, the higher frequency is needed. The high
empty poll number indicates the current core not doing any real work
therefore, we can lower the frequency to safe power.

In the current implementation, each core has 1 empty-poll counter which
assume 1 core is dedicated to 1 queue. This will need to be expanded in the
future to support multiple queues per core.

2.1 Power state definition:

	LOW:  Not currently used, reserved for future use.

	MED:  the frequency is used to process modest traffic workload.

	HIGH: the frequency is used to process busy traffic workload.

2.2 There are two phases to establish the power management system:

	a.Initialization/Training phase. The training phase is necessary
	  in order to figure out the system polling baseline numbers from
	  idle to busy. The highest poll count will be during idle, where
	  all polls are empty. These poll counts will be different between
	  systems due to the many possible processor micro-arch, cache
	  and device configurations, hence the training phase.
	  In the training phase, traffic is blocked so the training
	  algorithm can average the empty-poll numbers for the LOW, MED and
	  HIGH  power states in order to create a baseline.
	  The core's counter are collected every 10ms, and the Training
	  phase will take 2 seconds.
	  Training is disabled as default configuration. The default
	  parameter is applied. Sample App still can trigger training
	  if that's needed. Once the training phase has been executed once on
	  a system, the application can then be started with the relevant
	  thresholds provided on the command line, allowing the application
	  to start passing start traffic immediately

	b.Normal phase. Traffic starts immediately based on the default
	  thresholds, or based on the user supplied thresholds via the
	  command line parameters. The run-time poll counts are compared with
	  the baseline and the decision will be taken to move to MED power
	  state or HIGH power state. The counters are calculated every 10ms.

3. Proposed  API

1.  rte_power_empty_poll_stat_init(struct ep_params **eptr,
		uint8_t *freq_tlb, struct ep_policy *policy);
which is used to initialize the power management system.
 
2.  rte_power_empty_poll_stat_free(void);
which is used to free the resource hold by power management system.
 
3.  rte_power_empty_poll_stat_update(unsigned int lcore_id);
which is used to update specific core empty poll counter, not thread safe
 
4.  rte_power_poll_stat_update(unsigned int lcore_id, uint8_t nb_pkt);
which is used to update specific core valid poll counter, not thread safe
 
5.  rte_power_empty_poll_stat_fetch(unsigned int lcore_id);
which is used to get specific core empty poll counter.
 
6.  rte_power_poll_stat_fetch(unsigned int lcore_id);
which is used to get specific core valid poll counter.

7.  rte_empty_poll_detection(struct rte_timer *tim, void *arg);
which is used to detect empty poll state changes then take action.
