ee27edbe0c drivers/net: share vdev data to secondary process
dpdk-procinfo, as a secondary process, cannot fetch stats for vdev.

This patch enables that by attaching the port from the shared data.
We also fill the eth dev ops, with only some ops works in secondary
process, for example, stats_get().

Note that, we still cannot Rx/Tx packets on the ports which do not
support multi-process.

ce1f2c61ed mempool: remove callback to get capabilities
The callback was introduced to let generic code to know octeontx
mempool driver requirements to use single physically contiguous
memory chunk to store all objects and align object address to
total object size. Now these requirements are met using a new
callbacks to calculate required memory chunk size and to populate
objects using provided memory chunk.

These capability flags are not used anywhere else.

Restricting capabilities to flags is not generic and likely to
be insufficient to describe mempool driver features. If required
in the future, API which returns structured information may be
added.

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.

a3d6026711 ring: relax alignment constraint on ring structure
The initial objective of
commit d9f0d3a1ff ("ring: remove split cacheline build setting")
was to add an empty cache line between the producer and consumer
data (on platform with cache line size = 64B), preventing from
having them on adjacent cache lines.

Following discussion on the mailing list, it appears that this
also imposes an alignment constraint that is not required.

This patch removes the extra alignment constraint and adds the
empty cache lines using padding fields in the structure. The
size of rte_ring structure and the offset of the fields remain
the same on platforms with cache line size = 64B:

  rte_ring = 384
  rte_ring.name = 0
  rte_ring.flags = 32
  rte_ring.memzone = 40
  rte_ring.size = 48
  rte_ring.mask = 52
  rte_ring.prod = 128
  rte_ring.cons = 256

But it has an impact on platform where cache line size is 128B:

  rte_ring = 384        -> 768
  rte_ring.name = 0
  rte_ring.flags = 32
  rte_ring.memzone = 40
  rte_ring.size = 48
  rte_ring.mask = 52
  rte_ring.prod = 128   -> 256
  rte_ring.cons = 256   -> 512

bd8f50a45d net/virtio-user: support server mode
In a container environment if the vhost-user backend restarts, there's
no way for it to reconnect to virtio-user. To address this, support for
server mode is added. In this mode the socket file is created by virtio-
user, which the backend then connects to. This means that if the backend
restarts, it can reconnect to virtio-user and continue communications.

With current implementation, LSC is enabled at virtio-user side to
support to accept the coming connection.

Server mode virtio-user only supports to work with vhost-user.

Release note is updated in this patch.

a753e53d51 eal: add device event monitor framework
This patch aims to add a general device event monitor framework at
EAL device layer, for device hotplug awareness and actions adopted
accordingly. It could also expand for all other types of device event
monitor, but not in this scope at the stage.

To get started, users firstly call below new added APIs to enable/disable
the device event monitor mechanism:
  - rte_dev_event_monitor_start
  - rte_dev_event_monitor_stop

Then users shell register or unregister callbacks through the new added
APIs. Callbacks can be some device specific, or for all devices.
  -rte_dev_event_callback_register
  -rte_dev_event_callback_unregister

Use hotplug case for example, when device hotplug insertion or hotplug
removal, we will get notified from kernel, then call user's callbacks
accordingly to handle it, such as detach or attach the device from the
bus, and could benefit further fail-safe or live-migration.

66cc45e293 mem: replace memseg with memseg lists
Before, we were aggregating multiple pages into one memseg, so the
number of memsegs was small. Now, each page gets its own memseg,
so the list of memsegs is huge. To accommodate the new memseg list
size and to keep the under-the-hood workings sane, the memseg list
is now not just a single list, but multiple lists. To be precise,
each hugepage size available on the system gets one or more memseg
lists, per socket.

In order to support dynamic memory allocation, we reserve all
memory in advance (unless we're in 32-bit legacy mode, in which
case we do not preallocate memory). As in, we do an anonymous
mmap() of the entire maximum size of memory per hugepage size, per
socket (which is limited to either RTE_MAX_MEMSEG_PER_TYPE pages or
RTE_MAX_MEM_MB_PER_TYPE megabytes worth of memory, whichever is the
smaller one), split over multiple lists (which are limited to
either RTE_MAX_MEMSEG_PER_LIST memsegs or RTE_MAX_MEM_MB_PER_LIST
megabytes per list, whichever is the smaller one). There is also
a global limit of CONFIG_RTE_MAX_MEM_MB megabytes, which is mainly
used for 32-bit targets to limit amounts of preallocated memory,
but can be used to place an upper limit on total amount of VA
memory that can be allocated by DPDK application.

So, for each hugepage size, we get (by default) up to 128G worth
of memory, per socket, split into chunks of up to 32G in size.
The address space is claimed at the start, in eal_common_memory.c.
The actual page allocation code is in eal_memalloc.c (Linux-only),
and largely consists of copied EAL memory init code.

Pages in the list are also indexed by address. That is, in order
to figure out where the page belongs, one can simply look at base
address for a memseg list. Similarly, figuring out IOVA address
of a memzone is a matter of finding the right memseg list, getting
offset and dividing by page size to get the appropriate memseg.

This commit also removes rte_eal_dump_physmem_layout() call,
according to deprecation notice [1], and removes that deprecation
notice as well.

On 32-bit targets due to limited VA space, DPDK will no longer
spread memory to different sockets like before. Instead, it will
(by default) allocate all of the memory on socket where master
lcore is. To override this behavior, --socket-mem must be used.

The rest of the changes are really ripple effects from the memseg
change - heap changes, compile fixes, and rewrites to support
fbarray-backed memseg lists. Due to earlier switch to _walk()
functions, most of the changes are simple fixes, however some
of the _walk() calls were switched to memseg list walk, where
it made sense to do so.

Additionally, we are also switching locks from flock() to fcntl().
Down the line, we will be introducing single-file segments option,
and we cannot use flock() locks to lock parts of the file. Therefore,
we will use fcntl() locks for legacy mem as well, in case someone is
unfortunate enough to accidentally start legacy mem primary process
alongside an already working non-legacy mem-based primary process.

c06ddf9698 meter: add configuration profile
This patch adds support for meter configuration profiles.
Benefits: simplified configuration procedure, improved performance.

Q1: What is the configuration profile and why does it make sense?
A1: The configuration profile represents the set of configuration
    parameters for a given meter object, such as the rates and sizes for
    the token buckets. The configuration profile concept makes sense when
    many meter objects share the same configuration, which is the typical
    usage model: thousands of traffic flows are each individually metered
    according to just a few service levels (i.e. profiles).

Q2: How is the configuration profile improving the performance?
A2: The performance improvement is achieved by reducing the memory
    footprint of a meter object, which results in better cache utilization
    for the typical case when large arrays of meter objects are used. The
    internal data structures stored for each meter object contain:
       a) Constant fields: Low level translation of the configuration
          parameters that does not change post-configuration. This is
          really duplicated for all meters that use the same
          configuration. This is the configuration profile data that is
          moved away from the meter object. Current size (implementation
          dependent): srTCM = 32 bytes, trTCM = 32 bytes.
       b) Variable fields: Time stamps and running counters that change
          during the on-going traffic metering process. Current size
          (implementation dependent): srTCM = 24 bytes, trTCM = 32 bytes.
          Therefore, by moving the constant fields to a separate profile
          data structure shared by all the meters with the same
          configuration, the size of the meter object is reduced by ~50%.
