2c0dd7b69f config: add static linkage of mlx dependency
The libraries provided by rdma-core may be statically linked
if enabling CONFIG_RTE_IBVERBS_LINK_STATIC in the make-based build.
If CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB is disabled, the applications
will embed the mlx PMDs with ibverbs and the mlx libraries.
If CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB is enabled,
the mlx PMDs will embed ibverbs and the mlx libraries.

Support with meson may be added later.

6927f8dbf3 mk: allow renaming of build directories
When building using make, the Makefile in the build directory contained
the name of the build directory to be passed as an "O=" parameter to
the DPDK SDK makefiles. Unfortunately, this meant that the compilation
would always fail if the build directory was renamed. To remove this
limitation, we can use $(CURDIR) instead of the directory name.

We use _GNU_SOURCE all over the place, but often times we miss
defining it, resulting in broken builds on musl. Rather than
fixing every library's and driver's and application's makefile,
fix it by simply defining _GNU_SOURCE by default for all

Remove all usages of _GNU_SOURCE in source files and makefiles,
and also fixup a couple of instances of using __USE_GNU instead
of _GNU_SOURCE.

49bcce1383 buildtools: prevent experimental symbol match on substring
The experimental symbol check script matched on the regexes
"\.text.*$SYM" and "\.text\.experimental.*$SYM" which allows for
substring matches.
If a symbol is leading substring of another one (e.g. symbol foo
is a substring of symbol foobar), it would match on symbols
when it shouldn't.

It is fixed by matching additionally on the end of line
so that symbols are an exact match.

ebaa070de8 mk: fix cross build
The "-Wimplicit-fallthrough=2" option was introduced into gcc 7.0, it was
enabled when the cross compiler gcc is greater than 7.0, but for the host
side buildtools/pmdinfogen, if the native gcc is older than 7.0, or the
host cc compiler is clang, it should not be enabled.

The fix is to differentiate the host gcc Werror options from the cross gcc.

ac7f4af813 pmdinfogen: fix resource leak of file object
Coverity flags an issue where the resources used by the FILE object for
the temporary input file are leaked. This is a very minor issue, but is
easily fixed, while also avoiding later problems where we try to close
an invalid file descriptor in the failure case.

The fix is to use "dup()" to get a new file descriptor number rather than
using the value directly from fileno. This allows us to close the file
opened with tmpfile() within in scope block, while allowing the duplicate
to pass to the outer block and be closed when the function terminates.

As a side-effect I/O in the function is therefore changed from using stdio
fread/fwrite to read/write system calls.

45775d7512 drivers: improve pmdinfo generation with meson
Since meson 0.44, changing any file inside a PMD directory (quite
correctly) triggers a full re-run of meson on build, rather than an
incremental build as with earlier versions. This rerun is needed because
we use "grep" in meson to search for files on which to run pmdinfogen, and
changing any of those files means that grep and, therefore meson, needs to
be rerun. [Previous versions of meson did not track this dependency on the
grep command, and so did incremental builds only.]

If, however, we take advantage of pmdinfogen's ability to use stdin and
stdout instead of files, we can instead use a shell script to process an
entire static archive and generate a single .c file from it. This
eliminates the need for grep, and means that changes to a PMD file only
need an incremental build - a significant time saving.

b114af1603 build: remove architecture flag as default C flag
Any flags added to the project args are automatically added to all builds,
both native and cross-compiled. This is not what we want for the -march
flag as a valid -march for the cross-compile is not valid for pmdinfogen
which is a native-build tool.

Instead we store the march flag as a variable, and add it to the default
cflags for all libs, drivers, examples, etc. This will allow pmdinfogen to
compile successfully in a cross-compilation environment.

ed4d43d73e build: symlink drivers to library directory
With the introduction of bus drivers, we now have a situation where
driver libraries will start to depend upon each other. Because of this,
the driver libs need to be discoverable by the dynamic loader.

There are three options to fix this:
1. Force the user to put the $libdir/dpdk/drivers folder into their
	library path.
2. Move all libraries from drivers sub-directory to $libdir.
3. Symlink all libraries from the subfolder to the main library dir.

Option 1 is not great for usability or distro packaging, and option 2
means that we can't have EAL load all drivers from a known path
automatically (as it would error out on non-PMD libs), so option 3 was
chosen as the best fix. The only downside is that on a "ninja uninstall"
the symlinks are not removed, as they are unknown to meson/ninja.

a462a6a9e7 buildtools: fix icc build
There are random build errors in test reports [1]. Build error
is not directly related to DPDK but observed during DPDK build.

When I get similar unexpected build errors in my system, found
out that /dev/null is invalid.

It seems ICC overwrites the /dev/null with "icc -o /dev/null" instead
of sending output to /dev/null. This is not always reproducible, so
hard to say what exactly is triggering the error.

I suspect test-report build errors can be because of the same reason,
and it is good to add a protection for this case.

Instead of sending output to /dev/null save it to the tmp folder and
remove it back when done.

feb9f680cd mk: optimize directory dependencies
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.

readlink, we can use the basename as it was originally, even if it was a

112fc39b82 pmdinfogen: fix endianness with cross-compilation
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.

a5d7a3f77d unify tools naming
The following tools may be installed system-wide.
It may be cleaner and more convenient to find them with the same
dpdk- prefix (especially for autocompletion).
Moreover, the script dpdk_nic_bind.py deserves a new name because it is
not restricted to NICs and can be used for e.g. crypto.

These files are renamed:
pmdinfogen       -> dpdk-pmdinfogen
pmdinfo.py       -> dpdk-pmdinfo.py
dpdk_pdump       -> dpdk-pdump
dpdk_proc_info   -> dpdk-procinfo
dpdk_nic_bind.py -> dpdk-devbind.py
setup.sh         -> dpdk-setup.sh

The tools pmdinfogen, pmdinfo.py and dpdk_pdump are new in 16.07.

The scripts dpdk_nic_bind.py and setup.sh may have been used with
previous releases by end users. That's why a symbolic link still
provide the old name in the installed tools directory.

98b0fdb0ff pmdinfogen: add buildtools and pmdinfogen utility
pmdinfogen is a tool used to parse object files and build json strings for
use in later determining hardware support in a dso or application binary.
pmdinfo looks for the non-exported symbol names this_pmd_name<n> and
this_pmd_tbl<n> (where n is a integer counter).  It records the name of
each of these tuples, using the later to find the symbolic name of the
pci_table for physical devices that the object supports.  With this
information, it outputs a C file with a single line of the form:

static char *<pmd_name>_driver_info[] __attribute__((used)) = " \
	PMD_DRIVER_INFO=<json string>";

Where <pmd_name> is the arbitrary name of the pmd, and <json_string> is the
json encoded string that hold relevant pmd information, including the pmd
name, type and optional array of pci device/vendor ids that the driver
supports.

This c file is suitable for compiling to object code, then relocatably
linking into the parent file from which the C was generated.  This creates
an entry in the string table of the object that can inform a later tool
about hardware support.
