8ea081f381 mbuf: fix truncated strncpy
Gcc-8 discovers issue with platform_mempool_ops.
rte_mbuf_pool_ops.c:26:3: error: ‘strncpy’ output truncated before
  terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length
  [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
  strncpy(mz->addr, ops_name,  strlen(ops_name));

Since the ops_name is already checked for size, using strncpy
here is unnecessary; just use strcpy.

028e4b1dbc mbuf: fix logic of user mempool ops API
The existing rte_eal_mbuf_default mempool ops can return the compile time
default ops name if the user has not provided command line inputs for
mempool ops name. It will break the logic of best mempool ops as it will
never return platform hw mempool ops.

This patch introduces a new API to just return the user mempool ops only.

6d714a237d mbuf: fix performance of freeing with non atomic refcnt
When RTE_MBUF_REFCNT_ATOMIC=n, the decrement of the mbuf reference
counter uses an atomic operation. This is not necessary and impacts
the performance (seen with TRex traffic generator).

We cannot replace rte_atomic16_add_return() by rte_mbuf_refcnt_update()
because it would add an additional check.

Solves this by introducing __rte_mbuf_refcnt_update(), which
updates the reference counter without doing anything else.

0d440d081c lib: fix missing includes in exported headers
Many exported headers rely on definitions found in rte_config.h without
including it, as shown by the following command:

 grep -L '^#include <rte_config.h>' -- \
  $(grep -Rl \
    $(sed -n '/^#define \([^ ]\+\).*$/{s//\1/;H;};${x;s/\n//;s/\n/\\|/g;p;}' \
      build/include/rte_config.h) \
    -- build/include/)

We cannot assume external applications will include rte_config.h on their
own, neither directly nor through a -include parameter like DPDK does
internally.

This not only causes obvious compilation failures that can be reproduced
with check-includes.sh such as:

 [...]/rte_memory.h:88:43: error: ‘RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE’ was not declared in
     this scope
  #define __rte_cache_aligned __rte_aligned(RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE)
                                            ^

It also results in less visible issues, for instance rte_hash_crc.h relying
on RTE_ARCH_X86_64's presence to provide dedicated inline functions.

This patch partially reverts the commit below and adds missing include
lines to the remaining files.

380a7aab1a mbuf: rename deprecated VLAN flags
PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT are deprecated for a while.
As explained in [1], these flags were kept to let the applications and
PMDs move to the new flag. There is also a need to support Rx vlan
offload without vlan strip (at least for the ixgbe driver).

This patch renames the old flags for this feature, knowing that some
PMDs were using PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT to indicate that
the vlan tci has been saved in the mbuf structure.

It is likely that some PMDs do not set the proper flags when doing vlan
offload, and it would be worth making a pass on all of them.

586ec205bc mbuf: fix 64-bit address alignment in 32-bit builds
On i686 builds, the uin64_t type is 64-bits in size but is aligned to
32-bits only. This causes mbuf fields for rearm_data to not be 16-byte
aligned on 32-bit builds, which causes errors with some vector PMDs which
expect the rearm data to be aligned as on 64-bit.

Given that we cannot use the extra space in the data structures anyway, as
it's already used on 64-bit builds, we can just force alignment of the
physical address in the mbuf to 8-bytes in all cases. This has no effect on
64-bit systems, but fixes the updated PMDs on 32-bit.

a22659550c mbuf: move sequence number in second cache line
Move this field in the second cache line, since no driver use it
in Rx path. The freed space will be used by a timestamp in next
commit.

97cb466d65 mbuf: use 2 bytes for port and nb segments
Change the size of m->port and m->nb_segs to 16 bits. It is now possible
to reference a port identifier larger than 256 and have a mbuf chain
larger than 256 segments.

dc448dc460 mbuf: make rearm data address naturally aligned
To avoid multiple stores on fast path, Ethernet drivers
aggregate the writes to data_off, refcnt, nb_segs and port
to an uint64_t data and write the data in one shot
with uint64_t* at &mbuf->rearm_data address.

Some of the non-IA platforms have store operation overhead
if the store address is not naturally aligned.This patch
fixes the performance issue on those targets.

8f094a9ac5 mbuf: set mbuf fields while in pool
Set the value of m->refcnt to 1, m->nb_segs to 1 and m->next
to NULL when the mbuf is stored inside the mempool (unused).
This is done in rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg(), before freeing or
recycling a mbuf.

Before this patch, the value of m->refcnt was expected to be 0
while in pool.

The objectives are:

- to avoid drivers to set m->next to NULL in the early Rx path, since
  this field is in the second 64B of the mbuf and its access could
  trigger a cache miss

- rationalize the behavior of raw_alloc/raw_free: one is now the
  symmetric of the other, and refcnt is never changed in these functions.

To optimize the freeing of the segments, we try try to only update
m->refcnt, m->next, and m->nb_segs when it's required (idea from
Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.ananyev@intel.com>).
