l3fwd-power uses `--parse-ptype' parameter to query egress packets
type. Before that feature is enabled l3fwd-power verifies PMD ability
to advertise supported packet types with
rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes().
The above ethdev function API contains this note:
"
Better to invoke this API after the device is already started or rx burst
function is decided, to obtain correct supported ptypes.
"
The patch updates code for PMDs that register supported types after
dev_start.

Currently, the interrupt status notification prevents log spam by
remembering whether previous interrupt wakeup was due to traffic or due
to timeout expiring. However, it is a single variable that can
potentially be accessed from multiple threads, so it is not thread-safe.
Fix it by having per-lcore interrupt status.

Giving invalid or zero portmask as command line option to
these applications will have an unexpected response.
The reason behind this is that the return value of function
that parses portmask is stored in a variable whose datatype is
unsigned int, hence returning -1 in case of zero or
invalid portmask causes an unexpected behaviour.
If we return 0 instead of -1 this issue can be resolved.
The program already contains the functionality to print
"invalid portmask" and program usage if zero is returned.

This patch moves telemetry further down the build, and adds it as a

Telemetry now has EAL flags, shown below:
"--telemetry" = Enables telemetry (this is default if no flags given)
"--no-telemetry" = Disables telemetry
When telemetry is enabled, it will attempt to open the new socket
version, and also the legacy support socket (this will depend on Jansson

Currently, if power library initialization fails, only a log message is
displayed. This is suboptimal for a number of reasons, but the main one
is that telemetry mode does not depend on the power library and can
therefore run in environments where l3fwd-power would normally not run
correctly (such as inside a VM). This will lead to attempts to
deinitialize the power library on exit, with a subsequent forced unclean
shutdown of DPDK.
Fix this by only initializing the power library in modes that actually
need it, and change a log message to a failure to initialize.

each forwarding core. The aggregation of these
values of all cores is reported as application
level telemetry to metric library for every 500ms from the
master core.
The busy percentage is calculated by recording the poll_count
and when the count reaches a defined value the total
cycles it took is measured and compared with minimum and maximum
reference cycles and busy rate is set according to either 0% or

The option "l", "m", "h" are used to set the power index for
LOW, MED, HIGH power state. Only is useful after enable empty-poll
--empty-poll="training_flag, med_threshold, high_threshold"
The option training_flag is used to enable/disable training mode.
The option med_threshold is used to indicate the empty poll threshold
of modest state which is customized by user.
The option high_threshold is used to indicate the empty poll threshold
of busy state which is customized by user.
Above three option default value is all 0.
Once enable empty-poll. System will apply the default parameter if no
other command line options are provided.
If training mode is enabled, the user should ensure that no traffic
is allowed to pass through the system. When training phase complete,
the application transfer to normal operation
System will start running with the modest power mode.
If the traffic goes above 70%, then system will move to High power state.
If the traffic drops below 30%, the system will fallback to the modest
power state.
