2024-05-10docs: Use newer Ubuntu LTS in tutorialElod Illes2-14/+9
The tutorial uses old 18.04 Bionic Ubuntu release, and tries to install vpp from packagecloud.io's bionic repository which does not exist. However newer ubuntu releases' repositories exist, so let's update to newer Ubuntu LTS version: 22.04 Jammy. Also, the ubuntu vagrant box is old, so let's replace it to a newer, generic/ubuntu2204, which uses libvirt provider (instead of virtualbox) and updated frequently, works well for the tutorial. Due to using libvirt provider, there is no need to customize the VM as those customizations are present in the box by default. The truested=yes part is removed from the apt source list command, as we add gpgkey anyway, thus, no need for this. Tutorial and vpp build tested with this new box and looks to be working fine.

2021-10-13docs: better docs, mv doxygen to sphinxNathan Skrzypczak92-11238/+364
This patch refactors the VPP sphinx docs in order to make it easier to consume for external readers as well as VPP developers. It also makes sphinx the single source of documentation, which simplifies maintenance and operation. Most important updates are: - reformat the existing documentation as rst - split RELEASE.md and move it into separate rst files - remove section 'events' - remove section 'archive' - remove section 'related projects' - remove section 'feature by release' - remove section 'Various links' - make (Configuration reference, CLI docs, developer docs) top level items in the list - move 'Use Cases' as part of 'About VPP' - move 'Troubleshooting' as part of 'Getting Started' - move test framework docs into 'Developer Documentation' - add a 'Contributing' section for gerrit, docs and other contributer related infos - deprecate doxygen and test-docs targets - redirect the "make doxygen" target to "make docs" Type: refactor Change-Id: I552a5645d5b7964d547f99b1336e2ac24e7c209f Signed-off-by: Nathan Skrzypczak <nathan.skrzypczak@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Yourtchenko <ayourtch@gmail.com>

2021-05-01vlib: refactor trajectory trace debug featureBenoît Ganne1-4/+1
trajectory trace has been broken for a while because we used to save the buffer trajectory in a vector pointed to in opaque2. This does not work well when opaque2 is copied (eg. because of a clone) as 2 buffers end up sharing the same vector. This dedicates a full cacheline in the buffer metadata instead when trajectory is compiled in. No dynamic allocation, no sharing, no tears.
