f15addb79e mem: make --no-huge use mmap instead of malloc
This makes it possible to run DPDK without hugepage memory when VFIO
is used, as VFIO uses virtual addresses to set up DMA mappings.

Technically, malloc is just fine, but we want to guarantee that
memory will be page-aligned, so using mmap to be safe.

c95584dc2b ixgbe: new vectorized functions for Rx/Tx
New file containing optimized receive and transmit functions which
use 128bit vector instructions to improve performance. When conditions
permit, these functions will be enabled at runtime by the device
initialization routines already in the PMD.

The compilation of the vectorized RX and TX code paths is controlled by
a new setting in the build time configuration for the IXGBE driver. Also
added is a setting which allows an optional further performance increase
by disabling the use of the olflags field on packet RX.

08ccf3faa6 distributor: new packet distributor library
This adds the code for a new Intel DPDK library for packet distribution.
The distributor is a component which is designed to pass packets
one-at-a-time to workers, with dynamic load balancing. Using the RSS
field in the mbuf as a tag, the distributor tracks what packet tag is
being processed by what worker and then ensures that no two packets with
the same tag are in-flight simultaneously. Once a tag is not in-flight,
then the next packet with that tag will be sent to the next available
core.

96ff445371 examples/l3fwd: reorganise and optimize LPM code path
With latest HW and optimised RX/TX path there is a huge gap between
tespmd iofwd and l3fwd performance results.
So there is an attempt to optimise l3fwd LPM code path and reduce the gap:
 - Instead of processing each input packet up to completion -
 divide packet processing into several stages and perform
 stage by stage for the whole burst.
 - Unroll things by the factor of 4 whenever possible.
 - Use SSE instincts for some operations (bswap, replace MAC addresses, etc).
 - Avoid TX packet buffering whenever possible.
 - Move some checks from RX/TX into setup phase.

Note that new(optimized) code path can be switched on/off by setting
ENABLE_MULTI_BUFFER_OPTIMIZE macro to 1/0.

Some performance data:
SUT: dual-socket board IVB 2.8GHz, 2x1GB pages.
4 ports on 4 NICs (all at socket 0) connected to the traffic generator.
kernel: 3.11.3-201.fc19.x86_64, gcc: 4.8.2.
64B packets, using the packet flooding method.
All 4 ports are managed by one logical core:
Optimised scalar PMD RX/TX was used.

                          DIFF % (NEW-OLD)
IPV4-CONT-BURST:               +23%
IPV6-CONT-BURST :              +13%
IPV4/IPV6-CONT-BURST:          +8%
IPV4-4STREAMSX8:               +7%
IPV4-4STREAMSX1:               -2%

Test cases description:
IPV4-CONT-BURST - IPV4 packets all packets from the one input port
are destined for the same output port.
IPV6-CONT-BURST - IPV6 packets all packets from the one input port
are destined for the same output port.
IPV4/IPV6-CONT-BURST - mix of the first 2 with interleave=1
(e.g: IPV4,IPV6,IPV4,IPV6, ...)
IPV4-4STREAMSX1 - 4 streams of IPV4 packets, where all packets
from same stream are destined for the same output port
(e.g: IPV4_DST_P0, IPV4_DST_P1,  IPV4_DST_P2, IPV4_DST_P3, IPV4_DST_P0, ...)

c6c79fa425 e1000: do not release queue on alloc error
If igb_alloc_rx_queue_mbufs() would fail to allocate an mbuf for RX queue,
it calls igb_rx_queue_release(rxq).
That causes rxq to be silently freed, without updating
dev->data->rx_queues[].
So any further reference to it will trigger the SIGSEGV.
Same thing in em PMD too.

To fix: igb_alloc_rx_queue_mbufs() should just return an error to the
caller and let upper layer to deal with the probem.
That's what ixgbe PMD is doing right now.

6820e8efef mk: allow updates to build config on make install
When running "make config", an additional config.orig file is also
generated, which is intended to hold the original, clean configuration
from the template.
When running make install, we first check if there is no existing
.config file, and run make config if not. If there is a file, we then
check if it's unmodified, in which case we regenerate a new .config to
take account of any possible updates to the template. Finally, in the
case where there is an existing .config file, and it HAS been modified,
we then do a check to see if the template has had further updates, and
throw an error if so. If no updates, we continue with the build using
the existing, user-modified config.

Some linker options were not prefixed by -Wl, when using CC:
	-z muldefs
	-melf_i386 (CPU_LDFLAGS in 32-bit config)

I didn't see any error with -z muldefs but it isn't documented in gcc
manual. So it's safer to explicitly pass it to the linker.
Also building 32-bit shared library raises this error:
	gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-melf_i386’

The patch changes the way of reserving memory in Dom0 driver.

It will reserve memory at installing rte_dom0_mm.ko kernel module
instead of requesting memory dynamically during DPDK application startup.
Meanwhile, now driver requests memory size of 4M once first,
if it failed, and request memory size of 2M once.

The main reasons for these changes are as follows:
First, to reduce the impact of increasing in memory fragment
after system run a long time.
Second, to reduce number of memory segment.

c3dfe188ba examples/vhost: zero copy mode
This patch supports user space vhost zero copy. It removes packets copying between host and guest in RX/TX.
It introduces an extra ring to store the detached mbufs. At initialization stage all mbufs will put into
this ring; when one guest starts, vhost gets the available buffer address allocated by guest for RX and
translates them into host space addresses, then attaches them to mbufs and puts the attached mbufs into
mempool.
Queue starting and DMA refilling will get mbufs from mempool and use them to set the DMA addresses.

For TX, it gets the buffer addresses of available packets to be transmitted from guest and translates
them to host space addresses, then attaches them to mbufs and puts them to TX queues.
After TX finishes, it pulls mbufs out from mempool, detaches them and puts them back into the extra ring.

db5b65301d ethdev: allow to set RSS hash computation flags and/or key
1) Add a new function "rss_hash_update" in the PMD API to dynamically
   update the RSS flags and/or the RSS key used by a NIC to compute the RSS
   hash of input packets.
   The new function uses the existing data structure "rte_eth_rss_conf" for
   the argument that contains the new hash flags and/or the new hash key to
   use.

2) Add the ixgbe-specific function "ixgbe_dev_rss_hash_update" and the
   igb-specific function "eth_igb_rss_hash_update" to update the RSS
   hash configuration of ixgbe and igb controllers respectively.
   Before changing anything, these 2 functions check that the update RSS
   operation does not attempt to disable RSS, if RSS was enabled at port
   initialization time, or does not attempt to enable RSS, if RSS was
   disabled at port initialization time.

Note:
   Configuring the RSS hash flags and the RSS key used by a NIC consists in
   updating appropriate PCI registers of the NIC.
   These operations have been manually tested with the interactive commands
   "write reg" and "write regbit" of the testpmd application.

c79875a708 ethdev: check RETA queue indices against number of queues
Each entry of the RSS redirection table (RETA) of igb and ixgbe ports
contains a 4-bit RX queue index, thus imposing RSS RX queue indices to
be strictly lower than 16.
In addition, if a RETA entry is configured with a RX queue index that is
strictly lower than 16, but is greater or equal to the number of RX queues
of the port, then all input packets whose RSS hash value indexes that RETA
entry are silently dropped by the NIC.

Make the function rte_eth_dev_rss_reta_update() check that RX queue indices
that are supplied in the reta_conf argument are strictly lower than
ETH_RSS_RETA_MAX_QUEUE (16) and are strictly lower than the number of
RX queues of the port.

698266e688 ixgbevf: reset unused mailbox data registers
The VF_RESET message of the 82599 PF/VF communication protocol issued by a
a Guest VF driver may include an optional permanent MAC address assigned to
the VF by the Guest OS, in order to make it recorded into the 82599 RAR
registers by the Host PF driver.

To indicate the absence of this optional MAC address, the VF_RESET command
assumes that a NULL MAC address is sent, instead of using a dedicated bit
for this purpose. However, when sending a VF_RESET command with no permanent
MAC address, the function ixgbe_reset_hw_vf() of the 82599 VF driver
directly invokes the function ixgbe_write_mbx_vf() with a message that does
not include a NULL MAC address, wrongly assuming that this function fills in
with zero all unused mailbox data registers.

More globally, it is safer to explicitely reset to zero all remaining mailbox
data registers that are not used to store the content of a message, in order
to reset the data sent in a previous VF/PF exchange (in either side),
including the last exchange performed by another Guest OS to which that VF
was previously assigned.

b6562244b4 ixgbevf: skip null and permanent mac addresses
On a 82599 VF, the deletion of a dynamically added MAC address consists in
first flushing all added MAC addresses, then in adding again all remaining MAC
addresses.
For this purpose, the function ixgbevf_remove_mac_addr() parses the pool
of MAC addresses associated with a VF, and must skip the VF permanent MAC
address that is stored into it, as well as all NULL MAC addresses.

7bfd68a274 ixgbevf: avoid adding twice the permanent mac address
During the initialization of a VF device, the rte_eth_dev_start() function
indirectly invokes the PMD "mac_addr_add" function with the permanent MAC
address assigned to the device.
In the case of 82599 VFs, this operation leads to exhausting the very
limited set of PF resources used to store VF MAC addresses.

To address this issue, do nothing in the function ixgbevf_add_mac_addr()
if the added MAC address is equal to the permanent MAC address of the VF.
