7e9562a107 examples: fix make clean when using pkg-config
The "make clean" command had a number of issues:
- the "--ignore-fail-on-non-empty" flag is not present on BSD
- the call to remove the build folder would fail if there was no build
  folder present.

These are fixed by only removing the build folder if it exists, and by
using -p flag to rmdir in place of --ignore-fail-on-non-empty

e9c6594264 examples: detect default build directory
Most examples have in their makefiles a default RTE_TARGET directory to be
used in case RTE_TARGET is not set. Rather than just using a hard-coded
default, we can instead detect what the build directory is relative to
RTE_SDK directory.

This fixes a potential issue for anyone who continues to build using
"make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" and skips setting RTE_TARGET
explicitly, instead relying on the fact that they were building in a
directory which corresponded to the example default path - which was
changed to "x86_64-native-linux-gcc" by commit 218c4e68c1 ("mk: use
linux and freebsd in config names").

218c4e68c1 mk: use linux and freebsd in config names
Rather than using linuxapp and bsdapp everywhere, we can change things to
use the, more readable, terms "linux" and "freebsd" in our build configs.
Rather than renaming the configs we can just duplicate the existing ones
with the new names using symlinks, and use the new names exclusively
internally. ["make showconfigs" also only shows the new names to keep the
list short] The result is that backward compatibility is kept fully but any
new builds or development can be done using the newer names, i.e.  both
"make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" and "T=x86_64-native-linux-gcc"
work.

323e7b667f ethdev: make default behavior CRC strip on Rx
Removed DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP offload flag.
Without any specific Rx offload flag, default behavior by PMDs is to
strip CRC.

PMDs that support keeping CRC should advertise DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC
Rx offload capability.

Applications that require keeping CRC should check PMD capability first
and if it is supported can enable this feature by setting
DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC in Rx offload flag in rte_eth_dev_configure()

ab3ce1e0c1 ethdev: remove old offload API
In DPDK 17.11, the ethdev offloads API has changed:
	commit cba7f53b71 ("ethdev: introduce Tx queue offloads API")
	commit ce17eddefc ("ethdev: introduce Rx queue offloads API")
The new API is documented in the programmer's guide:
	http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/poll_mode_drv.html#hardware-offload

For reminder, the main concepts in the new API were:
	- All offloads are disabled by default
	- Distinction between per port and per queue offloads.

The transition bits are now removed:
	- Translation of the old API in ethdev
	- rte_eth_conf.rxmode.ignore_offload_bitfield
	- ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_IGNORE

The old API bits are now removed:
	- Rx per-port rte_eth_conf.rxmode.[bit-fields]
	- Tx per-queue rte_eth_txconf.txq_flags
	- ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*

fa47405cc1 ethdev: remove experimental flag of ports enumeration
The basic operations for ports enumeration should not be
considered as experimental in DPDK 18.05.

The iterator RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV was introduced in DPDK 17.05.
It uses the function the rte_eth_find_next_owned_by() to get
only ownerless ports. Its API can be considered stable.
So the flag experimental is removed from rte_eth_find_next_owned_by().

The flag experimental is removed from rte_eth_dev_count_avail()
which is the new name of the old function rte_eth_dev_count().

The flag experimental is set to rte_eth_dev_count_total()
in the .c file for consistency with the declaration in the .h file.

A lot of internal applications are fixed to not allow experimental API.

d9a42a69fe ethdev: deprecate port count function
Some DPDK applications wrongly assume these requirements:
    - no hotplug, i.e. ports are never detached
    - all allocated ports are available to the application

Such application iterates over ports by its own mean.
The most common pattern is to request the port count and
assume ports with index in the range [0..count[ can be used.

In order to fix this common mistake in all external applications,
the function rte_eth_dev_count is deprecated, while introducing
the new functions rte_eth_dev_count_avail and rte_eth_dev_count_total.

Some DPDK applications wrongly assume these requirements:
    - no hotplug, i.e. ports are never detached
    - all allocated ports are available to the application

Such application assume a valid port index is in the range [0..count[.

There are three consequences when using such wrong design:
    - new ports having an index higher than the port count won't be valid
    - old ports being detached (RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED) can be valid

Such mistake will be less common with growing hotplug awareness.
All applications and examples inside this repository - except testpmd -
must be fixed to use the function rte_eth_dev_is_valid_port.

1842d194c9 examples: enable linking both static and shared
Since the DPDK build now includes both static and shared libraries, we need
a new way to enable building the examples using either method from the one
installation. To do this, we add in a default "shared" target, and a
separate "static" target which links in the DPDK static libraries. In both
cases, the final application name is symlinked to the last-built static or
shared target, with both binaries able to co-exist in the build directory.

89f0711f9d examples: build some samples with meson
Add support for having selected example apps built as part of a meson,
ninja build. By default none are built, and those to be built should be
named directly in the -Dexamples='' meson configuration argument.

This is useful for developers working on a feature who want to use a
suitable example, or examples, to test that feature, as they can compile
everything up in one go, and run the example without having to do a ninja
install first.

This commit adds examples which don't consist of multiple apps in
subdirectories to the meson build, so they can be built by default by
passing -Dexamples parameter to meson.

Not included are the following examples:
* ethtool
* multi-process
* netmap_compat
* performance-thread
* quota_watermark
* server_node_efd
* vm_power_manager

To test the apps added here, use the following command, merged to one line,
to add them to your meson build (command to be run inside the build
directory):

meson configure -Dexamples=bbdev_app,bond,cmdline,distributor,\
	eventdev_pipeline_sw_pmd, exception_path,helloworld,\
	ip_fragmentation,ip_pipeline,ip_reassembly, ipsec-secgw,\

ab12f71b31 mk: move PMD libraries linking to applications
Some PMDs provide device specific APIs. Bond and xenvirt are existing
samples for this.

And since these are PMD libraries, there are two options on how to link
them for shared library build:

1- They can be linked to all applications by default, using common
rte.app.mk file.

2- They can be explicitly linked to applications that use device
specific API.

Currently option one is in use, this patch switches to the option two.

Moves library linking to the Makefile of application Makefile that uses
device specific API.

This prevent these PMD libraries to be a dependency to applications
that don't use these device specific APIs.

It's better to remove this function as it probably could be implemented
with statistics API.

cc7e8ae84f examples/bond: add example application for link bonding mode 6
This patch contains an example for link bonding mode 6.
It interact with user by a command prompt. Available commands are:
Start - starts ARP_thread which respond to ARP_requests and sends
ARP_updates (this
Is enabled by default after startup),
Stop  -stops ARP_thread,
Send count ip - send count ARP requests for IP,
Show - prints basic bond information, like IPv4 statistics from clients
Help,
Quit.
The best way to test mode 6 is to use this example together with
previous patch:
[PATCH 3/4] bond: add debug info for mode 6 link bonding.
Connect clients thru switch to bonding machine and send:
arping -c 1 bond_ip or
generate IPv4 traffic to bond_ip (IPv4 traffic from different clients
should be then balanced on slaves in round robin manner).
