5dce9fcdb2 ethdev: support vtune task tracing
The patch simplifies DPDK applications analysis for developers which use
Intel® VTune Amplifier.

The empty cycles are such iterations that yielded no RX packets. As far as
DPDK is running in poll mode, wasting cycles is equal to wasting CPU time.
Tracing such iterations can identify that device is underutilized. Tracing
empty cycles becomes even more critical if a system uses a lot of Ethernet
ports.

The patch gives possibility to analyze empty cycles without changing
application code. All needs to be done is just to reconfigure and rebuild
the DPDK itself with CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_PROFILE_ITT_WASTED_RX_ITERATIONS
enbled. The important thing here is that this does not affect DPDK code.
The profiling code is not being compiled if user does not specify config
flag.

The patch provides common way to inject RX queues profiling and VTune
specific implementation.

5f4677c6ad net/mlx4: workaround verbs error after plug-out
Current mlx4 OFED version has bug which returns error to
ibv destroy functions when the device was plugged out, in
spite of the resources were destroyed correctly.

Hence, failsafe PMD was aborted, only in debug mode, when
it tries to remove the device in plug-out process.

The workaround added option to replace all claim_zero
assertions with debugging messages, by the way, this option
affects non ibv destroy assertions.

DPDK 18.02 release should work with Mellanox OFED-4.2 which will
include the verbs fix to this bug, then, this patch can
be removed.

a46f8d584e net/failsafe: add fail-safe PMD
Introduce the fail-safe poll mode driver initialization and enable its
build infrastructure.

This PMD allows for applications to benefit from true hot-plugging
support without having to implement it.

It intercepts and manages Ethernet device removal events issued by
slave PMDs and re-initializes them transparently when brought back.
It also allows defining a contingency to the removal of a device, by
designating a fail-over device that will take on transmitting operations
if the preferred device is removed.

Applications only see a fail-safe instance, without caring for
underlying activity ensuring their continued operations.

e996506a1c lib/gro: add Generic Receive Offload API framework
Generic Receive Offload (GRO) is a widely used SW-based offloading
technique to reduce per-packet processing overhead. It gains
performance by reassembling small packets into large ones. This
patchset is to support GRO in DPDK. To support GRO, this patch
implements a GRO API framework.

To enable more flexibility to applications, DPDK GRO is implemented as
a user library. Applications explicitly use the GRO library to merge
small packets into large ones. DPDK GRO provides two reassembly modes.
One is called lightweight mode, the other is called heavyweight mode.
If applications want to merge packets in a simple way and the number
of packets is relatively small, they can use the lightweight mode.
If applications need more fine-grained controls, they can choose the
heavyweight mode.

rte_gro_reassemble_burst is the main reassembly API which is used in
lightweight mode and processes N packets at a time. For applications,
performing GRO in lightweight mode is simple. They just need to invoke
rte_gro_reassemble_burst. Applications can get GROed packets as soon as
rte_gro_reassemble_burst returns.

rte_gro_reassemble is the main reassembly API which is used in
heavyweight mode and tries to merge N inputted packets with the packets
in GRO reassembly tables. For applications, performing GRO in heavyweight
mode is relatively complicated. Before performing GRO, applications need
to create a GRO context object, which keeps reassembly tables of
desired GRO types, by rte_gro_ctx_create. Then applications can use
rte_gro_reassemble to merge packets. The GROed packets are in the
reassembly tables of the GRO context object. If applications want to get
them, applications need to manually flush them by flush API.

1b72605d24 mem: balanced allocation of hugepages
Currently EAL allocates hugepages one by one not paying attention
from which NUMA node allocation was done.

Such behaviour leads to allocation failure if number of available
hugepages for application limited by cgroups or hugetlbfs and
memory requested not only from the first socket.

Example:
	# 90 x 1GB hugepages availavle in a system

	cgcreate -g hugetlb:/test
	# Limit to 32GB of hugepages
	cgset -r hugetlb.1GB.limit_in_bytes=34359738368 test
	# Request 4GB from each of 2 sockets
	cgexec -g hugetlb:test testpmd --socket-mem=4096,4096 ...

	EAL: SIGBUS: Cannot mmap more hugepages of size 1024 MB
	EAL: 32 not 90 hugepages of size 1024 MB allocated
	EAL: Not enough memory available on socket 1!
	     Requested: 4096MB, available: 0MB
	PANIC in rte_eal_init():
	Cannot init memory

	This happens beacause all allocated pages are
	on socket 0.

Fix this issue by setting mempolicy MPOL_PREFERRED for each hugepage
to one of requested nodes using following schema:

	1) Allocate essential hugepages:
		1.1) Allocate as many hugepages from numa N to
		     only fit requested memory for this numa.
		1.2) repeat 1.1 for all numa nodes.
	2) Try to map all remaining free hugepages in a round-robin
	   fashion.
	3) Sort pages and choose the most suitable.

In this case all essential memory will be allocated and all remaining
pages will be fairly distributed between all requested nodes.

New config option RTE_EAL_NUMA_AWARE_HUGEPAGES introduced and
enabled by default for linuxapp except armv7 and dpaa2.
Enabling of this option adds libnuma as a dependency for EAL.

6c2809628c net/cxgbe: improve latency for slow traffic
TX coalescing waits for ETH_COALESCE_PKT_NUM packets to be coalesced
across bursts before transmitting them.  For slow traffic, such as
100 PPS, this approach increases latency since packets are received
one at a time and tx coalescing has to wait for ETH_COALESCE_PKT
number of packets to arrive before transmitting.

To fix this:

- Update rx path to use status page instead and only receive packets
  when either the ingress interrupt timer threshold (5 us) or
  the ingress interrupt packet count threshold (32 packets) fires.
  (i.e. whichever happens first).

- If number of packets coalesced is <= number of packets sent
  by tx burst function, stop coalescing and transmit these packets
  immediately.

Also added compile time option to favor throughput over latency by
default.

Making AVX and AVX512 configurable is useful for performance and power

The similar kernel patch at https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9618883/.

AVX512 support like in rte_memcpy has been in DPDK since 16.04, but it's
still unproven in rich use cases in hardware. Therefore it's marked as
experimental for now, will enable it after enough field test and possible
optimization.

themselves are statistics that are not generated by PMDs, and

Metric information is populated using a push model, where
producers update the values contained within the metric
library by calling an update function on the relevant metrics.
Consumers receive metric information by querying the central

d9f0d3a1ff ring: remove split cacheline build setting
Users compiling DPDK should not need to know or care about the arrangement
of cachelines in the rte_ring structure.  Therefore just remove the build
option and set the structures to be always split. On platforms with 64B
cachelines, for improved performance use 128B rather than 64B alignment
since it stops the producer and consumer data being on adjacent cachelines.

630f6ec11e mk: provide option to set major ABI version
Downstreams might want to provide different DPDK releases at the same
time to support multiple consumers of DPDK linked against older and newer
sonames.

Also due to the interdependencies that DPDK libraries can have applications
might end up with an executable space in which multiple versions of a
library are mapped by ld.so.

Think of LibA that got an ABI bump and LibB that did not get an ABI bump
but is depending on LibA.

    Application
    \-> LibA.old
    \-> LibB.new -> LibA.new

That is a conflict which can be avoided by setting CONFIG_RTE_MAJOR_ABI.
If set CONFIG_RTE_MAJOR_ABI overwrites any LIBABIVER value.
An example might be ``CONFIG_RTE_MAJOR_ABI=16.11`` which will make all
libraries librte<?>.so.16.11 instead of librte<?>.so.<LIBABIVER>.

We need to cut arbitrary long stings after the .so now and this would work
for any ABI version in LIBABIVER:
  $(Q)ln -s -f $< $(patsubst %.$(LIBABIVER),%,$@)
But using the following instead additionally allows to simplify the Make
File for the CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI case.
  $(Q)ln -s -f $< $(shell echo $@ | sed 's/\.so.*/.so/')
