Some PMDs (e.g. hns3) could detect hardware or firmware errors, one
error recovery mode is to report RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_RESET event, and
wait for application invoke rte_eth_dev_reset() to recover the port,
however, this mode has the following weaknesses:
1) Due to different hardware and software design, some NIC port recovery
process requires multiple handshakes with the firmware and PF (when the
port is VF). It takes a long time to complete the entire operation for
one port, If multiple ports (for example, multiple VFs of a PF) are
reset at the same time, other VFs may fail to be reset. (Because the
reset processing is serial, the previous VFs must be processed before
the subsequent VFs).
2) The impact on the application layer is great, and it should stop
working queues, stop calling Rx and Tx functions, and then call
rte_eth_dev_reset(), and re-setup all again.
This patch introduces proactive error handling mode, the PMD will try
to recover from the errors itself. In this process, the PMD sets the
data path pointers to dummy functions (which will prevent the crash),
and also make sure the control path operations failed with retcode
-EBUSY.
Because the PMD recovers automatically, the application can only sense
that the data flow is disconnected for a while and the control API
returns an error in this period.
In order to sense the error happening/recovering, three events were
introduced:
1) RTE_ETH_EVENT_ERR_RECOVERING: used to notify the application that it
detected an error and the recovery is being started. Upon receiving the
event, the application should not invoke any control path APIs until
receiving RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_SUCCESS or
RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_FAILED event.
2) RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_SUCCESS: used to notify the application that
it recovers successful from the error, the PMD already re-configures the
port, and the effect is the same as that of the restart operation.
3) RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_FAILED: used to notify the application that it
recovers failed from the error, the port should not usable anymore. The
application should close the port.

Enabling trace points at runtime was not working if no trace point had
been enabled first at rte_eal_init() time. The reason was that
trace.args reflected the arguments passed to --trace= EAL option.
To fix this:
- the trace subsystem initialisation is updated: trace directory
creation is deferred to when traces are dumped (to avoid creating
directories that may not be used),
- per lcore memory allocation still relies on rte_trace_is_enabled() but
this helper now tracks if any trace point is enabled. The
documentation is updated accordingly,
- cleanup helpers must always be called in rte_eal_cleanup() since some
trace points might have been enabled and disabled in the lifetime of
the DPDK application,
With this fix, we can update the unit test and check that a trace point
callback is invoked when expected.
Note:
- the 'trace' global variable might be shadowed with the argument
passed to the functions dealing with trace point handles.
'tp' has been used for referring to trace_point object.
Prefer 't' for referring to handles,

This patchset bumps the minimum meson version from 0.49.2 to 0.53.2.
Ideally, the minimum version should be 0.53 without a point release, but
some DPDK builds (mingw) are broken with 0.53.0 due to issue[1], fixed
by commit[2] in 0.53.1. Therefore we use the latest point release from
0.53 branch i.e. 0.53.2.
Some new features of interest which can now be used in DPDK with this
new minimum meson version:
* can do header-file checks directly inside find_library calls, rather
than needing a separate check.[v0.50].
* can pass multiple cross-files at the same time when cross-compiling
[v0.51].
* "alias_target" function, to allow use to give better/shorter names
for particular build objects [v0.52].
* auto-generation of clang-format [v0.50] and clang-tidy[v0.52] targets
when those tools are present and config dotfiles are present.
Similarly ctags and cscope are added as targets when those tools are
present [v0.53]
* meson module for filesystem operations, so meson can now check for the
presence of particular files or directories [v0.53].
* "summary" function to provide a configuration summary at the end of
the meson run [v0.53].
Plus many other features. See [3] for full details of each version.

To support MACsec we cannot just make one security session and
send with the packet to process it. MACsec specifications suggest,
it has 3 different entities - SECY Entity, SC (secure channel) and
SA (security association). And same SA can be used by multiple SCs and
similarly many SECY can have same SCs. Hence, in order to support this
many to one relationships between all entities, 2 new APIs are created -
rte_security_macsec_sc_create and rte_security_macsec_sa_create.
Flow of execution of the APIs would be as
- rte_security_macsec_sa_create
- rte_security_macsec_sc_create
- rte_security_session_create (for secy)
And in case of inline protocol processing rte_flow can be created with
rte_security action. A new flow item will be added for MACsec header.
New APIs are also created for getting SC and SA stats.
