[v10,00/23] Add DLB PMD

82992 mbox series

The following patch series adds support for a new eventdev PMD. The DLB
PMD adds support for the Intel Dynamic Load Balancer (DLB) hardware.
The DLB is a PCIe device that provides load-balanced, prioritized
scheduling of core-to-core communication. The device consists of
queues and arbiters that connect producer and consumer cores, and
implements load-balanced queueing features including:
- Lock-free multi-producer/multi-consumer operation.
- Multiple priority levels for varying traffic types.
- 'Direct' traffic (i.e. multi-producer/single-consumer)
- Simple unordered load-balanced distribution.
- Atomic lock-free load balancing across multiple consumers.
- Queue element reordering feature allowing ordered load-balanced
  distribution.

The DLB hardware supports both load balanced and directed ports and
queues. Unlike other eventdev devices already in the repo,  not all
DLB ports and queues are equally capable. In particular, directed
ports are limited to a single link, and must be connected to a directed
queue.
Additionally, even though LDB ports may link multiple queues, the
number of queues that may be linked is limited by hardware. Another
difference is that DLB does not have a straightforward way of carrying
the flow_id in the queue elements (QE) that the hardware operates on.

While reviewing the code, please be aware that this PMD has full
control over the DLB hardware. Intel will be extending the DLB PMD
in the future (not as part of this first series) with a mode that we
refer to as the bifurcated PMD. The bifurcated PMD communicates with a
kernel driver to configure the device, ports, and queues, and memory
maps device MMIO so datapath operations occur purely in user-space.

The framework to support both the PF PMD and bifurcated PMD exists in
this patchset, and is why the iface.[ch] layer is present.

Major changes in v10
=====================
- convert to use rte_power_monitor patches
- replace __builtin_ia32_movntdq() with _mm_stream_si128() 
- remove unused functions in dlb_selftest.c

Major changes in v9
=====================
- fixed a build error due to __rte_cache_aligned being placed after
  the ";" character, instead of before it.

Major changes in v8 after dpdk reviews
=====================
- moved introduction of dlb in relnotes_20_11 to first patch in series
- fixed underlines in dlb.rst that were too short
- note that the code still uses its private byte-encoded versions of
  umonitor/umwait, rather than the new functions in the power
  patch that are built on top of those intrinsics. This is intentional.

Major changes in v7 after dpdk reviews
=====================
- updated MAINTAINERS file to alphabetically insert DLB
- don't create RTE_ symbols in PMD
- converted to use version.map scheme
- converted to use .._master_lcore instead of .._main_lcore
- this patch set is based on dpdk-next-eventdev

Major changes in v6 after dpdk reviews:
=====================
- fixed meson conditional build. Moved test into driver’s meson.build
  file instead of event/meson.build
- documentation is populated as associated code is introduced
- add log_register in add dynamic logging patch
- rename RTE_xxx symbol(s) as DLB2_xxx
- replaced function ptr enqueue_four with direct call to movdir64b
- remove unused port_pages
- broke up probe patch into 3 smaller patches for easier review
- changed param order of movdir64b/movntdq to match intrinsics
- added self to MAINTAINERS files
- squashed announcement of availability into last patch in series
- correct spelling errors and delete repeated words
- DPDK_21.0 -> DPDK 21 in map file
- add experimental banner to public structs and APIs
- implemented other suggestions from code reviews of DLB2 PMD. The
  software is very similar in form so some DLB2 reviews comments
  were applicable to DLB as well

Major changes in v5 after dpdk reviews and additional internal reviews
by colleagues at Intel:
================
- implement changes requested in code reviews by Gage Eads and Mike Chen
- fix a memzone leak
- convert to use eal rte-cpuflags patch from Liang Ma

Major changes in v4 after dpdk reviews and additional internal reviews
by colleagues at Intel:
================
- Remove make infrastructure
- shared code (pf/base) is now added incrementally
- flexible interface (iface.[ch]) is now added incrementally
- removed calls to rte_panic
- do not call pthread_create directly
- remove unused internal API, os_time
- convert rte_atomic to __atomic builtins
- broke out eventdev ABI changes, test/api changes, and new internal PCI
  named probe API
- relocated enqueue logic to enqueue patch

Major Changes in V3:
================
- Fixed a memory corruption issue due to not allocating enough CQ
memory for depths < 8. Hardware requires minimum allocation to be
at least 8 entries.
- Address review comments from Gage and Mattias.
- Remove versioning
- minor formatting changes

Major changes in V2:
================
- Correct ABI break that was present in V1.
- Address some of the review comments received from Mattias.
  I will address the remaining items identified by Mattias in the next
  patch delivery.
- General code cleanup based on internal code reviews
