This patch uses pthread_getaffinity_np() to narrow down used
cores when none of below options is specified:
* coremask (-c)
* corelist (-l)
* and coremap (--lcores)
The purpose of this patch is to leave out these core related options
when DPDK applications are deployed under container env, so that
users do not need decide the core related parameters when developing
applications. Instead, when applications are deployed in containers,
use cpu-set to constrain which cores can be used inside this container
instance. And DPDK application inside containers just rely on this
auto detect mechanism to start polling threads.
Note: previously, some users are using isolated CPUs, which could
be excluded by default. Please add commands like taskset to use
those cores.
Test example:
$ taskset 0xc0000 ./examples/helloworld/build/helloworld -m 1024

It's been a source of confusion in the past, and even with this update
may continue to be a source of confusion. However, the original
language seems to imply that the DPDK EAL will take ownership of the
array passed in. Loosening the language up a bit might give a better
understanding for what is actually happening.

Today, all logs whose level is lower than INFO are dropped at
compile-time. This prevents from enabling debug logs at runtime using
--log-level=8.
The rationale was to remove debug logs from the data path at
compile-time, avoiding a test at run-time.
This patch changes the behavior of RTE_LOG() to avoid the compile-time
optimization, and introduces the RTE_LOG_DP() macro that has the same
behavior than the previous RTE_LOG(), for the rare cases where debug
logs are in the data path.
So it is now possible to enable debug logs at run-time by just
specifying --log-level=8. Some drivers still have special compile-time
options to enable more debug log. Maintainers may consider to
remove/reduce them.

pmdinfogen has a bug in which, during build, it pulls in rte_byteorder.h to
obtain the rte macros for byteswapping between the cpu byte order and big or
little endian. Unfortunately, pmdinfogen is a tool that is only meant to be run
during the build of dpdk components, and so, it runs on the host. In cross
compile environments however, the rte_byteorder.h is configured using a target
cpu, who's endianness may differ from that of the host, leading to improper
swapping.
The fix is to use host system defined byte swapping routines rather than the
dpdk provided routines. Note that we are using non posix compliant routines, as
the posix compliant api only addresses 16 and 32 bit swaps, and we also need 64
bit swaps. Those macros exist (via endian.h), but BSD and Linux put that header
in different locations so some ifdeffery is required.
Tested successfully by myself on Linux and BSD systems.

The function check is called outside of any loop,
so the statement continue can have no effect and the footer is printed.

- with dash, the 'continue' acts like a return in that case
- with bash, it displays an error:
"continue: only meaningful in a `for', `while', or `until' loop"
- with bash --posix, the 'continue' is ignored
