Darek Stojaczyk 6b41a08654 dpdkbuild: build dpdk with meson+ninja
Makefile support in DPDK was deprecated and will be removed soon,
so switch to the officially supported way of building DPDK -
with meson and ninja. Two new tools. Basically, our Makefiles
will invoke meson+ninja for DPDK, no other SPDK components are
affected.

Apparently DPDK wanted to move away from an octopus-like config
system and the ideology behind meson configuration is simple now:
build everything by default. Some PMDs can be explicitly disabled
with meson command line, but all libraries (both static and shared
versions) and test apps are built unconditionally.

How long does it take to build minimal DPDK with meson? Too much.
On my machine half of the total build time is spent on libraries
we don't need at all. (I have some hacks up my sleeve to disable
building those libraries - see the subsequent patch.) As for the
official way of building a minimal DPDK, there was a patch [1]
on dpdk mailing list to introduce more specific configuration,
but it was rejected:

Let's not follow that direction, hack the DPDK build system instead.

As for advantages of meson+ninja over Makefiles? I can't find any.
It's another build system that does a lot for you with some functions,
magic options, and a built-in dependency system. It seems nice if you know
the syntax, but it's another component that you need to learn, debug,
and possibly find bugs in (there's a lot of github issues open for meson).
I would compare it to CMake.

As for changes in this patch: rather that explicitly disabling
PMDs we don't need, specify a list of PMDs we do need and disable
everything else found in ./dpdk/drivers/*. This way we won't have
to disable the new PMDs as they're added to DPDK.

Meson configuration also sets RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH #define to a valid directory
with built PMD shared libs. When it's set, DPDK dynamically loads all shared
libraries inside. The drivers there depend on DPDK shared libs and fail to
load in static SPDK builds, so we disable them altogether by unsetting
RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH in the meson-generated config file - just like
DPDK Makefiles did. EAL checks for RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH being empty and skips
loading any external PMDs then. We do it for both static and shared libs.
We specify all PMDs at build time for now, so there's just no need to load
them dynamically.

We have three more hacks in our submodule:
 * disable building dpdk apps by commenting-out a line in dpdk/meson.build
 * disable building unnecessary libs (build everything that spdk *may*
   need)
 * build isa-l compress pmd with `-L[...] -lisal`. DPDK expects to find
   libisal with pkg-config. We don't want to prepare a pkg-config file,
   so comment-out a failing check in another meson.build file and provide
   isa-l through CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.

We also need to make some changes to our test/external_code. First of
all, -ldpdk is no more. Meson build generates a pkg-config file with all
libs, but we'll switch to it in a separate patch - for now just specify
all -lrte_ libs one by one. -Wl,--no-as-needed has to be added to some
test cases, otherwise rte_mempool_ring isn't loaded. We don't use any
APIs from this library, it only has a static constructor that provides
a few callbacks used by rte_mempool_create(). Also, since DPDK now builds
both static and shared libraries, we need to add -Wl,-Bstatic to force
using static libswhere required. It's only needed for DPDK libs, but we
use it for SPDK libs as well since there's no harm.

As for performance:
$ ./configure --enable-debug --with-crypto --with-reduce
$ time make -j40 -C dpdkbuild all
with meson:
real    0m8.287s
user    1m7.983s
sys     0m10.548s

before, with the old DPDK makefiles:
real    0m20.232s
user    0m55.921s
sys     0m16.491s

The subsequent builds are much faster too:
$ time make -j40 -C dpdkbuild all
meson:
real    0m0.876s
user    0m0.663s
sys     0m0.217s

makefiles:
real    0m10.150s
user    0m11.740s
sys     0m6.772s
