2437814390 app/testpmd: add a verbose mode to checksum forward engine
If the user specifies 'set verbose 1' in testpmd command line,
the csum forward engine will dump some informations about received
and transmitted packets, especially which flags are set and what
values are assigned to l2_len, l3_len, l4_len and tso_segsz.

This can help someone implementing TSO or hardware checksum offload to
understand how to configure the mbufs.

Example of output for one packet:

 --------------
 rx: l2_len=14 ethertype=800 l3_len=20 l4_proto=6 l4_len=20
 tx: m->l2_len=14 m->l3_len=20 m->l4_len=20
 tx: m->tso_segsz=800
 tx: flags=PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM PKT_TX_TCP_SEG

1224decaa4 ixgbe: support TCP segmentation offload
Implement TSO (TCP segmentation offload) in ixgbe driver. The driver is
now able to use PKT_TX_TCP_SEG mbuf flag and mbuf hardware offload infos
(l2_len, l3_len, l4_len, tso_segsz) to configure the hardware support of
TCP segmentation.

In ixgbe, when doing TSO, the IP length must not be included in the TCP
pseudo header checksum. A new function ixgbe_fix_tcp_phdr_cksum() is
used to fix the pseudo header checksum of the packet before giving it to
the hardware.

In the patch, the tx_desc_cksum_flags_to_olinfo() and
tx_desc_ol_flags_to_cmdtype() functions have been reworked to make them
clearer. This should not impact performance as gcc (version 4.8 in my
case) is smart enough to convert the tests into a code that does not
contain any branch instruction.

4199fdea60 mbuf: generic support for TCP segmentation offload
Some of the NICs supported by DPDK have a possibility to accelerate TCP
traffic by using segmentation offload. The application prepares a packet
with valid TCP header with size up to 64K and deleguates the
segmentation to the NIC.

Implement the generic part of TCP segmentation offload in rte_mbuf. It
introduces 2 new fields in rte_mbuf: l4_len (length of L4 header in bytes)
and tso_segsz (MSS of packets).

To delegate the TCP segmentation to the hardware, the user has to:

- set the PKT_TX_TCP_SEG flag in mbuf->ol_flags (this flag implies
  PKT_TX_TCP_CKSUM)
- set the flag PKT_TX_IPV4 or PKT_TX_IPV6
- set PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM if it's IPv4, and set the IP checksum to 0 in
  the packet
- fill the mbuf offload information: l2_len, l3_len, l4_len, tso_segsz
- calculate the pseudo header checksum without taking ip_len in account,
  and set it in the TCP header, for instance by using
  rte_ipv4_phdr_cksum(ip_hdr, ol_flags)

The API is inspired from ixgbe hardware (the next commit adds the
support for ixgbe), but it seems generic enough to be used for other
hw/drivers in the future.

This commit also reworks the way l2_len and l3_len are used in igb
and ixgbe drivers as the l2_l3_len is not available anymore in mbuf.

6006818cfb net: new checksum functions
Introduce new functions to calculate checksums. These new functions
are derivated from the ones provided csumonly.c but slightly reworked.
There is still some room for future optimization of these functions
(maybe SSE/AVX, ...).

This API will be modified in tbe next commits by the introduction of
TSO that requires a different pseudo header checksum to be set in the
packet.

51f694dd40 app/testpmd: rework checksum forward engine
The csum forward engine was becoming too complex to be used and
extended (the next commits want to add the support of TSO):

- no explaination about what the code does
- code is not factorized, lots of code duplicated, especially between
  ipv4/ipv6
- user command line api: use of bitmasks that need to be calculated by
  the user
- the user flags don't have the same semantic:
  - for legacy IP/UDP/TCP/SCTP, it selects software or hardware checksum
  - for other (vxlan), it selects between hardware checksum or no
    checksum
- the code relies too much on flags set by the driver without software
  alternative (ex: PKT_RX_TUNNEL_IPV4_HDR). It is nice to be able to
  compare a software implementation with the hardware offload.

This commit tries to fix these issues, and provide a simple definition
of what is done by the forward engine:

 * Receive a burst of packets, and for supported packet types:
 *  - modify the IPs
 *  - reprocess the checksum in SW or HW, depending on testpmd command line
 *    configuration
 * Then packets are transmitted on the output port.
 *
 * Supported packets are:
 *   Ether / (vlan) / IP|IP6 / UDP|TCP|SCTP .
 *   Ether / (vlan) / IP|IP6 / UDP / VxLAN / Ether / IP|IP6 / UDP|TCP|SCTP
 *
 * The network parser supposes that the packet is contiguous, which may
 * not be the case in real life.

cf543fdbc1 app/testpmd: fix use of offload flags
In testpmd the rte_port->tx_ol_flags flag was used in 2 incompatible
manners:
- sometimes used with testpmd specific flags (0xff for checksums, and
  bit 11 for vlan)
- sometimes assigned to m->ol_flags directly, which is wrong in case
  of checksum flags

This commit replaces the hardcoded values by named definitions, which
are not compatible with mbuf flags. The testpmd forward engines are
fixed to use the flags properly.

e4a1c50e69 mbuf: get the name of offload flags
In test-pmd (rxonly.c), the code is able to dump the list of ol_flags.
The issue is that the list of flags in the application has to be

This patch introduces 2 new functions rte_get_rx_ol_flag_name()
and rte_get_tx_ol_flag_name() that returns the name of a flag from
its mask. It also fixes rxonly.c to use this new functions and to

e8ae9b6625 examples/vm_power: channel manager and monitor in host
The manager is responsible for adding communications channels to the Monitor
thread, tracking and reporting VM state and employs the libvirt API for
synchronization with the KVM Hypervisor. The manager interacts with the
Hypervisor to discover the mapping of virtual CPUS(vCPUs) to the host
physical CPUS(pCPUs) and to inspect the VM running state.

The manager provides the following functionality to the CLI:
1) Connect to a libvirtd instance, default: qemu:///system
2) Add a VM to an internal list, each VM is identified by a "name" which must
   correspond a valid libvirt Domain Name.
3) Add communication channels associated with a VM to the epoll based Monitor
   thread.
   The channels must exist and be in the form of:
   /tmp/powermonitor/<vm_name>.<channel_number>. Each channel is a
   Virtio-Serial endpoint configured as an AF_UNIX file socket and opened in
   non-blocking mode.
   Each VM can have a maximum of 64 channels associated with it.
4) Disable or re-enable VM communication channels, channels once added to the
   Monitor thread remain in that threads control, however acting on channel
   requests can be disabled and renabled via CLI.

The monitor is an epoll based infinite loop running in a separate thread that
waits on channel events from VMs and calls the corresponding functions. Channel
definitions from the manager are registered via the epoll event opaque pointer
when calling epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_ADD), this allows for obtaining the channels
file descriptor for reading EPOLLIN events and mapping the vCPU to pCPU(s)
associated with a request from a particular VM.

7107e471a6 examples/skeleton: very simple code for packet forwarding
This is a very simple example app for doing packet forwarding with the
Intel DPDK. It's designed to serve as a start point for people new to
the Intel DPDK and who want to develop a new app.

Therefore it's meant to:
* have as good a performance out-of-the-box as possible, using the
  best-known settings for configuring the PMDs, so that any new apps can
  be based off it.
* be kept as short as possible to make it easy to understand it and get
  started with it.

c4f136db8e eal/linux: map pci memory resources after hugepages
Multi-process DPDK application must mmap hugepages and PCI resources
into the same virtual address space. By default the virtual addresses
are chosen by the primary process automatically when calling the mmap.
But sometimes the chosen virtual addresses aren't usable in secondary
process - for example, secondary process is linked with more libraries
than primary process, and the library occupies the same address space
that the primary process has requested for PCI mappings.

This patch makes EAL try and map PCI BARs right after the hugepages
(instead of location chosen by mmap) in virtual memory, so that PCI BARs
have less chance of ending up in random places in virtual memory.

5583037a79 eal: get relative core index
EAL -c option allows the user to enable any lcore in the system.
Often times, the user app wants to know 1st enabled core, 2nd
enabled core, etc, rather than phyical core ID (rte_lcore_id().)

The new API rte_lcore_index() will return an index from enabled lcores
starting from zero.
