[v5] eal: add generic thread-local-storage functions
Checks
Commit Message
Add support for tls functionality in EAL.
The following functions are added:
rte_thread_tls_create_key - function to create a tls data key.
rte_thread_tls_delete_key - function to delete a tls data key.
rte_thread_tls_set_value - function to set value bound to the tls key
rte_thread_tls_get_value - function to get value bound to the tls key
tls key will be defined by the new type rte_tls_key
Windows implementation is under librte_eal/windows and
implemented using WIN32 API for Windows only.
common implementation is under librte_eal/common and
implemented using pthread for UNIX and Windows compilation
using extenral pthread libraries, when supported.

v3: switch from pthread shim to generic eal implementation [DmitryK]
v4: modify file names, function names, move unix code to common
for future external pthreads support [DmitryK]
v5: rename var used for extenal pthreads, add description in
meson_options.txt. [DmitryK]

You need get_option(), not dpdk_conf (apologies again for not being precise
when I drafted the approach):

Worse, with -Duse_windows_pthread=true file in common directory includes
<pthread.h>, but it finds pthread shim from windows subdirectory, not the
file from external library or MinGW toolchain. So the option is not usable
until the shim exists. I suggest removing the option for now, let's
reintroduce it when rte_thread.h grows and the shim goes away.

Right, thanks for checking, I'll send a version without it.
I was planning to add support for thread priority control to address the issue of threads with realtime priority denying cpu time from OS threads, I think it will be a good opportunity to move pthread_create to the new API.
