vlib: add postmortem pcap dispatch trace
Inspired by a real-life conundrum: scenario X involves a vpp crash in ip4-load-balance because vnet_buffer(b)->ip.adj_index[VLIB_TX] is (still) set to ~0. The problem takes most of a day to occur, and we need to see the broken packet's graph trajectory, metadata, etc. to understand the problem. Fix a signed/unsigned ASSERT bug in vlib_get_trace_count(). Rename elog_post_mortem_dump() -> vlib_post_mortem_dump(), add dispatch trace post-mortem dump. Add FILTER_FLAG_POST_MORTEM so we can (putatively) capture a ludicrous number of buffer traces, without actually using more than one dispatch cycle's worth of memory. Type: improvement Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net> Change-Id: If093202ef071df46e290370bd9b33bf6560d30e6
