591a9d7985 add FILE argument to debug functions
The DPDK dump functions are useful for remote debugging of an
applications. But when application runs as a daemon, stdout
is typically routed to /dev/null.

Instead change all these functions to take a stdio FILE * handle
instead. An application can then use open_memstream() to capture
the output.

168dfa6166 app/testpmd: add engine that replies to ARP and ICMP echo requests
Add a new specific packet processing engine in the "testpmd" application that
only replies to ARP requests and to ICMP echo requests.
For this purpose, a new "icmpecho" forwarding mode is provided that can be
dynamically selected with the following testpmd command:

    set fwd icmpecho

before starting the receipt of packets on the selected ports.

Then, the "icmpecho" engine performs the following actions on all received
packets:

- replies to a received ARP request by sending back on the RX port a ARP
  reply with a "sender hardware address" field containing the MAC address
  of the RX port,

- replies to a ICMP echo request by sending back on the RX port a ICMP echo
  reply, swapping the IP source and the IP destination address in the IP
  header,

- otherwise, simply drops the received packet.

When replying to a received packet that was encapsulated into a VLAN tunnel,
the reply is sent back with the same VLAN identifier.
By default, the testpmd configures VLAN header stripping RX option on each
port.
This option is not managed by the icmpecho engine which won't detect
packets that were encapsulated into a VLAN.
To address this issue, the VLAN header stripping option must be previously
switched off with the following testpmd command:

    vlan set strip off

When the "verbose" mode has been set with the testpmd command
"set verbose 1", the "icmpecho" engine displays informations about each
received packet.

The "icmpecho" forwarding engine can also be used to simply check port
connectivity at the hardware level (check that cables are well-plugged)
and at the software level (receipt of VLAN packets, for instance).

4c39baf297 vdev: new registration API
Instead of having a list of virtual device drivers in EAL code, add an
API to register drivers. Thanks to this new registration method, we can
remove the references to pmd_ring, pmd_pcap and pmd_xenvirt in EAL code.
This also enables the ability to register a virtual device driver as
a shared library.

The registration is done in an init function flaged with
__attribute__((constructor)). The new convention is to name this
function rte_pmd_xyz_init(). The per-device init function is renamed
rte_pmd_xyz_devinit().

By the way the internal PMDs are now also .so/standalone ready. Let's do
it later on. It will be required to ease maintenance.

cac6d08c8b devargs: replace --use-device option by --pci-whitelist and --vdev
This commit splits the "--use-device" option in two new options:

- "--pci-whitelist or -w": add a PCI device in the white list
- "--vdev": instanciate a new virtual device

Before the patch, the same option "--use-device" was used for these 2
use-cases.

By the way, we also add "--pci-blacklist" in addition to the existing
"-b" for coherency with the whitelist parameter.

Test result:

echo 100 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
echo 100 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages

a8b97e3a1d devargs: use a comma instead of semicolon to separate key/values
This commit changes the API of --use-device command line argument.
It changes the separators from ';' to ','. Indeed, ';' is not the best
choice as this character is also used to separate shell commands,
forcing the user to surround arguments with quotes.

This commit impacts both devargs and kvargs as each of them define
a separator in --use-device argument:

- devargs defines the separator between the device name or pci_id and
   its arguments
- kvargs defines the separator between each key/value pairs in
   arguments for drivers using the kvargs API to parse their arguments

The modification of devargs and kvargs is done in one commit to keep
the coherency of --use-device.

1220458951 devargs: use devargs for vdev and PCI whitelist/blacklist
Remove old whitelist code:
- remove references to rte_pmd_ring, rte_pmd_pcap and pmd_xenvirt in
  is_valid_wl_entry() as we want to be able to register external virtual
  drivers as a shared library. Moreover this code was duplicated with
  dev_types[] from eal_common_pci.c
- eal_common_whitelist.c was badly named: it was able to process PCI
  devices white list and the registration of virtual devices
- the parsing code was complex: all arguments were prepended in
  one string dev_list_str[4096], then split again

Use the newly introduced rte_devargs to get:
- the PCI white list
- the PCI black list
- the list of virtual devices

Rework the tests:
- a part of the whitelist test can be removed as it is now tested
  in app/test/test_devargs.c
- the other parts are just reworked to adapt them to the new API

This commit induce a small API modification: it is not possible to specify
several devices per "--use-device" option. This notation was anyway a bit
cryptic. Ex:
  --use-device="eth_ring0,eth_pcap0;iface=ixgbe0"
  now becomes:
  --use-device="eth_ring0" --use-device="eth_pcap0;iface=ixgbe0"

On the other hand, it is now possible to work in PCI blacklist mode and
instanciate virtual drivers, which was not possible before this patch.

Test result:

./app/test -c 0x15 -n 3 -m 64
RTE>>devargs_autotest
EAL: invalid PCI identifier <08:1>
EAL: invalid PCI identifier <00.1>

bf6dea0e04 devargs: introduce API and test
This commit introduces a new API for storing device arguments given by
the user. It only adds the framework and the test. The modification of
EAL to use this new module is done in next commit.

The final goals:

- unify pci-blacklist, pci-whitelist, and virtual devices arguments
  in one file
- allow to register a virtual device driver from a dpdk extension
  provided as a shared library. For that we will require to remove
  references to rte_pmd_ring and rte_pmd_pcap in argument parsing code
- clarify the API of eal_common_whitelist.c, and rework its code that is
  often complex for no reason.
- support arguments for PCI devices and possibly future non-PCI devices
  (other than virtual devices) without effort.

Test result:

echo 100 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
echo 100 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages

already-allocated block of memory.

40b966a211 ivshmem: library changes for mmaping using ivshmem
These library changes provide a new Intel DPDK feature for communicating
with virtual machines using QEMU's IVSHMEM mechanism.

The feature works by providing a command line for QEMU to map several hugepages
into a single IVSHMEM device. For the guest to know what is inside any given IVSHMEM
device (and to distinguish between Intel(R) DPDK and non-Intel(R) DPDK IVSHMEM
devices), a metadata file is also mapped into the IVSHMEM segment. No work needs to
be done by the guest application to map IVSHMEM devices into memory; they are
automatically recognized by the Intel(R) DPDK Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL).

Changes in this patch:
* Changes to EAL to allow mapping of all hugepages in a memseg into a single file
* Changes to EAL to allow ivshmem devices to be transparently mapped in
  the process running on the guest.
* New ivshmem library to create and manage metadata exported to guest VM's
* New ivshmem compilation targets
* Mempool and ring changes to allow export of structures to a VM and allow
  a VM to attach to those structures.
* New autotests to unit tests this functionality.

013615a784 mem: add bounded reserve function
For certain functionality, e.g. Xen Dom0 support, it is required that
we can guarantee that memzones for descriptor rings won't cross 2M
boundaries. So add new memzone reserve function where we can pass in a
boundary condition parameter.
