When mlx5 is not compiled directly as an independent shared object (e.g.
CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB not enabled for performance reasons), DPDK
applications inherit its dependencies on libibverbs and libmlx5 through
rte.app.mk.
This is an issue both when DPDK is delivered as a binary package (Linux
distributions) and for end users because rdma-core then propagates as a
mandatory dependency for everything.
Application writers relying on binary DPDK packages are not necessarily
aware of this fact and may end up delivering packages with broken
dependencies.
This patch therefore introduces an intermediate internal plug-in
hard-linked with rdma-core (to preserve symbol versioning) loaded by the
PMD through dlopen(), so that a missing rdma-core does not cause unresolved
symbols, allowing applications to start normally.

Each device in DPDK has a type associated with it - ethernet, crypto,
event etc. This patch introduces 'rawdevice' which is a generic
type of device, not currently handled out-of-the-box by DPDK.
A device which can be scanned on an installed bus (pci, fslmc, ...)
or instantiated through devargs, can be interfaced using
standardized APIs just like other standardized devices.
This library introduces an API set which can be plugged on the
northbound side to the application layer, and on the southbound side
to the driver layer.
The APIs of rawdev library exposes some generic operations which can
enable configuration and I/O with the raw devices. Using opaque
data (pointer) as API arguments, library allows a high flexibility
for application and driver implementation.
This patch introduces basic device operations like start, stop, reset,
queue and info support.
Subsequent patches would introduce other operations like buffer
enqueue/dequeue and firmware support.

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

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.

The EAL and compat libraries were special-cases in the library build
process, the former because of it's complexity, and the latter because
it only consists of a single header file.
By reworking the EAL meson.build files, we can eliminate the need for it to
be a special case, by having it build up and return the list of sources,
headers, and objects and return those to the higher level build file. This
should also simplify the building of EAL, as we can eliminate a number of
meson.build files that would no longer be needed, and have fewer, but
larger meson.build files (9 now vs 14 previous) - thereby making the logic
easier to follow and items easier to find.
Once done, we can pull eal into the main library loop, with some
modifications to support it. Compat can also be pulled it once we add in a
check to handle the case of an empty sources list.

other libraries which use the EAL headers can find them in their original

To build with meson and ninja, we need some initial infrastructure in
place. The build files for meson always need to be called "meson.build",
and options get placed in meson_options.txt
This commit adds a top-level meson.build file, which sets up the global
variables for tracking drivers, libraries, etc., and then includes other
build files, before finishing by writing the global build configuration
header file and a DPDK pkgconfig file at the end, using some of those same
globals.
From the top level build file, the only include file thus far is for the
config folder, which does some other setup of global configuration
parameters, including pulling in architecture specific parameters from an
architectural subdirectory. A number of configuration build options are
provided for the project to tune a number of global variables which will be
used later e.g. max numa nodes, max cores, etc. These settings all make
their way to the global build config header "rte_build_config.h". There is
also a file "rte_config.h", which includes "rte_build_config.h", and this
file is meant to hold other build-time values which are present in our
current static build configuration but are not normally meant for
user-configuration. Ideally, over time, the values placed here should be
moved to the individual libraries or drivers which want those values.

This patch provides an option to do rte_memcpy() using 'restrict'
qualifier, which can induce GCC to do optimizations by using more
efficient instructions, providing some performance gain over memcpy()
on some ARM64 platforms/enviroments.
The memory copy performance differs between different ARM64
platforms. And a more recent glibc (e.g. 2.23 or later)
can provide a better memcpy() performance compared to old glibc
versions. It's always suggested to use a more recent glibc if
possible, from which the entire system can get benefit. If for some
reason an old glibc has to be used, this patch is provided for an
alternative.
This implementation can improve memory copy on some ARM64
platforms, when an old glibc (e.g. 2.19, 2.17...) is being used.
It is disabled by default and needs "RTE_ARCH_ARM64_MEMCPY"
defined to activate. It's not always proving better performance
than memcpy() so users need to run DPDK unit test
"memcpy_perf_autotest" and customize parameters in "customization
section" in rte_memcpy_64.h for best performance.
Compiler version will also impact the rte_memcpy() performance.
It's observed on some platforms and with the same code, GCC 7.2.0
compiled binary can provide better performance than GCC 4.8.5. It's
suggested to use GCC 5.4.0 or later.
