Requires DPDK_GETMAINTAINER_PATH devel config option set, please check

DPDK_GETMAINTAINER_PATH should be full path to the get_maintainer.pl

The eventdev API was introduced in DPDK 17.05 release.
Since then it
- has been reviewed and iterated for 17.08, 17.11 releases
- three drivers were implemented using the API.
- introduced another subsystem like service core and ethdev-eventdev Rx
adapter APIs to abstract the difference between HW and SW
eventdev implementations in a transparent way.
- had extensive use by the app/test-eventdev/ and
examples/eventdev_pipeline_sw_pmd/
I believe the API is now stable and the EXPERIMENTAL label
should be removed.

Similar to rte_flow and rte_tm APIs, the configuration of MTR objects is
done in their own namespace (rte_mtr) within the librte_ether library.
Main features:
1. Traffic metering: determine the color for the current packet (green,
yellow, red) based on history maintained by the MTR object. Supported
algorithms: srTCM (RFC 2697), trTCM (RFC 2698 and RFC 4115).
2. Policing (per meter output color actions): re-color the packet (keep
or change the meter output color) or drop the packet.
3. Statistics
4. Capability API

Membership library is an extension and generalization of a traditional
filter (for example Bloom Filter and cuckoo filter) structure.
In general, the Membership library is a data structure that provides a
"set-summary" and responds to set-membership queries of whether a
certain element belongs to a set(s). A membership test for an element
will return the set this element belongs to or not-found if the
element is never inserted into the set-summary.
The results of the membership test are not 100% accurate. Certain
false positive or false negative probability could exist. However,
comparing to a "full-blown" complete list of elements, a "set-summary"
is memory efficient and fast on lookup.
This patch adds the main API definition.

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.

The app has been tested with DPDK 17.05-rc2, hence this
release (or later) is recommended.
The sample app showcases a pipeline processing use-case,
with event scheduling and processing defined per stage.
The application receives traffic as normal, with each
packet traversing the pipeline. Once the packet has
been processed by each of the pipeline stages, it is
transmitted again.
The app provides a framework to utilize cores for a single
role or multiple roles. Examples of roles are the RX core,
TX core, Scheduling core (in the case of the event/sw PMD),
and worker cores.
Various flags are available to configure numbers of stages,

Shared builds would now need to add librte_mempool_ring for:
* ring_mp_mc
* ring_sp_sc
* ring_sp_mc
* ring_mp_sc

Before this patch, the management of dependencies between directories
had several issues:
- the generation of .depdirs, done at configuration is slow: it can take
more than one minute on some slow targets (usually ~10s on a standard
PC without -j).
- for instance, it is possible to express a dependency like:
- app/foo depends on lib/librte_foo
- and lib/librte_foo depends on app/bar
But this won't work because the directories are traversed with a
depth-first algorithm, so we have to choose between doing 'app' before
or after 'lib'.
- the script depdirs-rule.sh is too complex.
- we cannot use "make -d" for debug, because the output of make is used for
the generation of .depdirs.
This patch moves the DEPDIRS-* variables in the upper Makefile, making
the dependencies much easier to calculate. A DEPDIRS variable is still
used to process library dependencies in LDLIBS.
After this commit, "make config" is almost immediate.

This patchset introduce new application which allows measuring
performance parameters of PMDs available in crypto tree. The goal of
this application is to replace existing performance tests in app/test.
Parameters available are: throughput (--ptest throughput) and latency
(--ptest latency). User can use multiply cores to run tests on but only
one type of crypto PMD can be measured during single application
execution. Cipher parameters, type of device, type of operation and
chain mode have to be specified in the command line as application
parameters. These parameters are checked using device capabilities
structure.
Couple of new library functions in librte_cryptodev are introduced for
application use.
To build the application a CONFIG_RTE_APP_CRYPTO_PERF flag has to be set
(it is set by default).
Example of usage: -c 0xc0 --vdev crypto_aesni_mb_pmd -w 0000:00:00.0 --
--ptest throughput --devtype crypto_aesni_mb --optype cipher-then-auth
--cipher-algo aes-cbc --cipher-op encrypt --cipher-key-sz 16 --auth-algo
sha1-hmac --auth-op generate --auth-key-sz 64 --auth-digest-sz 12
--total-ops 10000000 --burst-sz 32 --buffer-sz 64

This patch introduces crypto poll mode driver
using ARMv8 cryptographic extensions.
CPU compatibility with this driver is detected in
run-time and virtual crypto device will not be
created if CPU doesn't provide:
AES, SHA1, SHA2 and NEON.
This PMD is optimized to provide performance boost
for chained crypto operations processing,
such as encryption + HMAC generation,
decryption + HMAC validation. In particular,
cipher only or hash only operations are
not provided.
The driver currently supports AES-128-CBC
in combination with: SHA256 HMAC and SHA1 HMAC
and relies on the external armv8_crypto library:
https://github.com/caviumnetworks/armv8_crypto
Build ARMv8 crypto PMD if compiling for ARM64
and CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_ARMV8_CRYPTO option
is enable in the configuration file.
ARMV8_CRYPTO_LIB_PATH environment variable will
point to the appropriate library directory.

This new sample app, based on the client/server sample app,
shows the user an scenario using the EFD library.
It consists of:
- A front-end server which has an EFD table that stores the
node id for each flow key, which will distribute the incoming
packets to the different nodes
- A back-end node, which has a hash table where node checks,
after reading packets coming from the server, whether the packet
is meant to be used in such node, in which case it will be TXed,
or not, in which case, packet will be dropped.

Elastic Flow Distributor (EFD) is a distributor library that uses
perfect hashing to determine a target/value for a given incoming flow key.
It has the following advantages:
- First, because it uses perfect hashing, it does not store
the key itself and hence lookup performance is not dependent
on the key size.
- Second, the target/value can be any arbitrary value hence
the system designer and/or operator can better optimize service rates
and inter-cluster network traffic locating.
- Third, since the storage requirement is much smaller than a hash-based
flow table (i.e. better fit for CPU cache), EFD can scale to
millions of flow keys.
Finally, with current optimized library implementation performance
is fully scalable with number of CPU cores.

This new API supersedes all the legacy filter types described in
rte_eth_ctrl.h. It is slightly higher level and as a result relies more on
PMDs to process and validate flow rules.
Benefits:
- A unified API is easier to program for, applications do not have to be
written for a specific filter type which may or may not be supported by
the underlying device.
- The behavior of a flow rule is the same regardless of the underlying
device, applications do not need to be aware of hardware quirks.
- Extensible by design, API/ABI breakage should rarely occur if at all.
- Documentation is self-standing, no need to look up elsewhere.
Existing filter types will be deprecated and removed in the near future.
