Add functions for setting and getting the priority of a thread.
Priorities on multiple platforms are similarly determined by a priority
value and a priority class/policy.
Currently in DPDK most threads operate at the OS-default priority level
but there are cases when increasing the priority is useful. For
example, high performance applications may require elevated priority
levels.
For these reasons, EAL will expose two priority levels which are named
suggestively "normal" and "realtime_critical" and are computed as
follows:
On Linux, the following mapping is created:
RTE_THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL corresponds to
* policy SCHED_OTHER
* priority value: (sched_get_priority_min(SCHED_OTHER) +
sched_get_priority_max(SCHED_OTHER))/2;
RTE_THREAD_PRIORITY_REALTIME_CRITICAL corresponds to
* policy SCHED_RR
* priority value: sched_get_priority_max(SCHED_RR);
On Windows, the following mapping is created:
RTE_THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL corresponds to
* class NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS
* priority THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL
RTE_THREAD_PRIORITY_REALTIME_CRITICAL corresponds to
* class REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS (when running with privileges)
* class HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS (when running without privileges)
* priority THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL
Note that on Linux the resulting priority value will be 0, in
accordance to the documentation that mention the value should be 0 for
SCHED_OTHER policy.
