b744611555 ring: allow non power-of-2 sizes
The rte_rings traditionally have only supported having ring sizes as powers
of 2, with the actual usable space being the size - 1. In some cases, for
example, with an eventdev where we want to precisely control queue depths
for latency, we need to allow ring sizes which are not powers of two so we
add in an additional ring capacity value to allow that. For existing rings,
this value will be size-1, i.e. the same as the mask, but if the new
EXACT_SZ flag is passed on ring creation, the ring will have exactly the
usable space requested, although the underlying memory size may be bigger.

aae9817d5d ring: use aligned memzone allocation
rte_memzone_reserve() provides cache line alignment, but
struct rte_ring may require more than cache line alignment: on x86-64,
it needs 128-byte alignment due to PROD_ALIGN and CONS_ALIGN, which are
128 bytes, but cache line size is 64 bytes.

Fixes runtime warnings with UBSan enabled.

a6619414e0 ring: make struct and macros type agnostic
Modify the enqueue and dequeue macros to support copying any type of
object by passing in the exact object type. Rather than using the "ring"
structure member of rte_ring, which is of type "array of void *", instead
have the macros take the start of the ring a a pointer value, thereby
leaving the rte_ring structure as purely a header value. This allows it
to be reused by other future ring types which can add on extra fields if
they want, or even to have the actual ring elements, of whatever type
stored separate from the ring header.

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.

38c9817ee1 mempool: adjust name size in related data types
A recent patch brought up an issue about the size of the 'name' fields:

85cf0079 mem: avoid memzone/mempool/ring name truncation

These relations should be observed:

1. Each ring creates a memzone with a prefixed name:
RTE_RING_NAMESIZE <= RTE_MEMZONE_NAMESIZE - strlen(RTE_RING_MZ_PREFIX)

2. There are some mempool handlers which create a ring with a prefixed
name:
RTE_MEMPOOL_NAMESIZE <= RTE_RING_NAMESIZE - strlen(RTE_MEMPOOL_MZ_PREFIX)

3. A mempool can create up to RTE_MAX_MEMZONE pre and postfixed memzones:
sprintf(postfix, "_%d", RTE_MAX_MEMZONE)
RTE_MEMPOOL_NAMESIZE <= RTE_MEMZONE_NAMESIZE -
	strlen(RTE_MEMPOOL_MZ_PREFIX) - strlen(postfix)

Setting all of them to 32 hides this restriction from the application.
This patch decreases the mempool and ring string size to accommodate for
these prefixes, but it doesn't apply the 3rd constraint. Applications
relying on these constants need to be recompiled, otherwise they'll run
into ENAMETOOLONG issues.
The size of the arrays are kept 32 for ABI compatibility, it can be
decreased next time the ABI changes.

e3f3b68c6e ring: make tailq fully local
Since the data structures such as rings are shared in their entirety,
those TAILQ pointers are shared as well. Meaning that, after a
successful rte_ring creation, the tailq_next pointer of the last
ring in the TAILQ will be updated with a pointer to a ring which may
not be present in the address space of another process (i.e. a ring
that may be host-local or guest-local, and not shared over IVSHMEM).
Any successive ring create/lookup on the other side of IVSHMEM will
result in trying to dereference an invalid pointer.

This patchset fixes this problem by creating a default tailq entry
that may be used by any data structure that chooses to use TAILQs.
This default TAILQ entry will consist of a tailq_next/tailq_prev
pointers, and an opaque pointer to arbitrary data. All TAILQ
pointers from data structures themselves will be removed and
replaced by those generic TAILQ entries, thus fixing the problem
of potentially exposing local address space to shared structures.

6f41fe75e2 eal: deprecate rte_snprintf
The function rte_snprintf serves no useful purpose. It is the
same as snprintf() for all valid inputs. Deprecate it and
replace all uses in current code.

Leave the tests for the deprecated function in place.

3031749c2d remove trailing whitespaces
This commit removes trailing whitespace from lines in files. Almost all
files are affected, as the BSD license copyright header had trailing
whitespace on 4 lines in it [hence the number of files reporting 8 lines
changed in the diffstat].

591a9d7985 add FILE argument to debug functions
The DPDK dump functions are useful for remote debugging of an
applications. But when application runs as a daemon, stdout
is typically routed to /dev/null.

Instead change all these functions to take a stdio FILE * handle
instead. An application can then use open_memstream() to capture
the output.

1d64e46eb8 ring: allow to initialize without memzone
Allow to initialize a ring in an already allocated memory. The rte_ring_create()
function that allocates a ring in a rte_memzone is still available and now uses
the new rte_ring_init() function in order to factorize the code.
