Generic Receive Offload (GRO) is a widely used SW-based offloading
technique to reduce per-packet processing overhead. It gains
performance by reassembling small packets into large ones. This
patchset is to support GRO in DPDK. To support GRO, this patch
implements a GRO API framework.
To enable more flexibility to applications, DPDK GRO is implemented as
a user library. Applications explicitly use the GRO library to merge
small packets into large ones. DPDK GRO provides two reassembly modes.
One is called lightweight mode, the other is called heavyweight mode.
If applications want to merge packets in a simple way and the number
of packets is relatively small, they can use the lightweight mode.
If applications need more fine-grained controls, they can choose the
heavyweight mode.
rte_gro_reassemble_burst is the main reassembly API which is used in
lightweight mode and processes N packets at a time. For applications,
performing GRO in lightweight mode is simple. They just need to invoke
rte_gro_reassemble_burst. Applications can get GROed packets as soon as
rte_gro_reassemble_burst returns.
rte_gro_reassemble is the main reassembly API which is used in
heavyweight mode and tries to merge N inputted packets with the packets
in GRO reassembly tables. For applications, performing GRO in heavyweight
mode is relatively complicated. Before performing GRO, applications need
to create a GRO context object, which keeps reassembly tables of
desired GRO types, by rte_gro_ctx_create. Then applications can use
rte_gro_reassemble to merge packets. The GROed packets are in the
reassembly tables of the GRO context object. If applications want to get
them, applications need to manually flush them by flush API.

This commit adds a sample app for the eventdev library.
The app has been tested with DPDK 17.05-rc2, hence this
release (or later) is recommended.
The sample app showcases a pipeline processing use-case,
with event scheduling and processing defined per stage.
The application receives traffic as normal, with each
packet traversing the pipeline. Once the packet has
been processed by each of the pipeline stages, it is
transmitted again.
The app provides a framework to utilize cores for a single
role or multiple roles. Examples of roles are the RX core,
TX core, Scheduling core (in the case of the event/sw PMD),
and worker cores.
Various flags are available to configure numbers of stages,
cycles of work at each stage, type of scheduling, number of
worker cores, queue depths etc. For a full explaination,
please refer to the documentation.

This patch adds a new information metrics library. This Metrics
library implements a mechanism by which producers can publish
numeric information for later querying by consumers. Metrics
themselves are statistics that are not generated by PMDs, and
hence are not reported via ethdev extended statistics.
Metric information is populated using a push model, where
producers update the values contained within the metric
library by calling an update function on the relevant metrics.
Consumers receive metric information by querying the central
metric data, which is held in shared memory.

In a polling model, lcores poll ethdev ports and associated
rx queues directly to look for packet. In an event driven model,
by contrast, lcores call the scheduler that selects packets for
them based on programmer-specified criteria. Eventdev library
adds support for event driven programming model, which offer
applications automatic multicore scaling, dynamic load balancing,
pipelining, packet ingress order maintenance and
synchronization services to simplify application packet processing.
By introducing event driven programming model, DPDK can support
both polling and event driven programming models for packet processing,
and applications are free to choose whatever model
(or combination of the two) that best suits their needs.
This patch adds the eventdev specification header file.

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.
