Bruce Richardson 41985dcf3f doc: add installing from FreeBSD package
Update the FreeBSD GSG to cover installing from the pre-built package as
well as installing from a port.

Also, since the port is now based on meson, update the instructions for
compiling and running the example applications.

Installing DPDK from the Ports Collection
=========================================
The easiest way to get up and running with the DPDK on FreeBSD is to
install it using the FreeBSD `pkg` utility or from the ports collection.
Details of installing applications from packages or the ports collection are documented in the
`FreeBSD Handbook <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html>`_,
chapter `Installing Applications: Packages and Ports <https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports.html>`_.
.. note::
Please ensure that the latest patches are applied to third party libraries
and software to avoid any known vulnerabilities.
Installing the DPDK Package for FreeBSD
---------------------------------------
DPDK can be installed on FreeBSD using the command::
pkg install dpdk
After the installation of the DPDK package, instructions will be printed on
how to install the kernel modules required to use the DPDK. A more
complete version of these instructions can be found in the sections
:ref:`loading_contigmem` and :ref:`loading_nic_uio`. Normally, lines like
those below would be added to the file ``/boot/loader.conf``.
.. code-block:: shell
# Reserve 2 x 1G blocks of contiguous memory using contigmem driver:
hw.contigmem.num_buffers=2
hw.contigmem.buffer_size=1073741824
contigmem_load="YES"
# Identify NIC devices for DPDK apps to use and load nic_uio driver:
hw.nic_uio.bdfs="2:0:0,2:0:1"
nic_uio_load="YES"
Installing the DPDK FreeBSD Port
--------------------------------
If so desired, the user can install DPDK using the ports collection rather than from
a pre-compiled binary package.
On a system with the ports collection installed in ``/usr/ports``, the DPDK
can be installed using the commands::
cd /usr/ports/net/dpdk
make install
Compiling and Running the Example Applications
----------------------------------------------
When the DPDK has been installed from the ports collection it installs
its example applications in ``/usr/local/share/dpdk/examples``.
These examples can be compiled and run as described in :ref:`compiling_sample_apps`.
.. note::
DPDK example applications must be complied using `gmake` rather than
BSD `make`. To detect the installed DPDK libraries, `pkg-config` should
also be installed on the system.
.. note::
To install a copy of the DPDK compiled using gcc, please download the
official DPDK package from http://core.dpdk.org/download/ and install manually using
the instructions given in the next chapter, :ref:`building_from_source`
An example application can therefore be copied to a user's home directory and
compiled and run as below, where we have 2 memory blocks of size 1G reserved
via the contigmem module, and 4 NIC ports bound to the nic_uio module::
cp -r /usr/local/share/dpdk/examples/helloworld .
cd helloworld/
gmake

.. note::
To run a DPDK process as a non-root user, adjust the permissions on
the ``/dev/contigmem`` and ``/dev/uio device`` nodes as described in section
:ref:`running_non_root`
.. note::
For an explanation of the command-line parameters that can be passed to an
DPDK application, see section :ref:`running_sample_app`.
