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.

2023-10-26build: allow for reproducible buildsAndrew Yourtchenko2-0/+39
Setting and using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH variable takes care of most of the magic necessary. https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/ vpp-ext-deps packages after this change is being built with that date set to date of the last modification of the subtree (similar logic to deriving the "number" for the package version) For the rest of the packages, pinning the following three variables should result in bit-identical artifacts across multiple runs: export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=$(date +%s) export VPP_BUILD_HOST="buildhost" export VPP_BUILD_USER="builduser" Add a blurb in the docs describing this new functionality.

2023-08-31fateshare: a plugin for managing child processesAndrew Yourtchenko1-0/+1
For the reasons of modularity and security, it is useful to have various functionality split into processes different from VPP. However, this approach presents the challenges of managing those processes, and is markedly different from simply running everything within VPP process. This plugin is an experiment in having the VPP itself start off a monitor process which in turn starts the child processes, and restarts them if they quit. If the VPP process ceases to exist, the monitor process terminates all the descendant processes and quits itself. This allows to preserve the "single entity to manage" approach of simply running a barebones VPP. An example of running it: export DPDK_CONFIG="" export DISABLED_PLUGINS=dpdk export EXTRA_VPP_CONFIG="fateshare { monitor ./build-root/install-vpp_debug-native/vpp/bin/vpp_fateshare_monitor command ./test1 }" make run Signed-off-by: Andrew Yourtchenko <ayourtch@gmail.com> Change-Id: I66221fd7403f220d9652fe76958ca499cfd070a7 Type: feature

2022-08-25vlib: introduce DMA infrastructureMarvin Liu1-0/+3
This patch introduces DMA infrastructure into vlib. This is well known that large amount of memory movements will drain core resource. Nowadays more and more hardware accelerators were designed out for freeing core from this burden. Meanwhile some restrictions still remained when utilizing hardware accelerators, e.g. cross numa throughput will have a significant drop compared to same node. Normally the number of hardware accelerator instances will less than cores number, not to mention that applications number will even beyond the number of cores. Some hardware may support share virtual address with cores, while others are not. Here we introduce new DMA infrastructure which can fulfill the requirements of vpp applications like session and memif and in the meantime dealing with hardware limitations. Here is some design backgrounds: Backend is the abstract of resource which allocated from DMA device and can do some basic operations like configuration, DMA copy and result query. Config is the abstract of application DMA requirement. Application need to request an unique config index from DMA infrastructure. This unique config index is associated with backend resource. Two options cpu fallback and barrier before last can be specified in config. DMA transfer will be performed by CPU when backend is busy if cpu fallback option is enabled. DMA transfer callback will be in order if barrier before last option is enabled. We constructs all the stuffs that DMA transfer request needed into DMA batch. It contains the pattern of DMA descriptors and function pointers for submission and callback. One DMA transfer request need multiple times batch update and one time batch submission. DMA backends will assigned to config's workers threads equally. Lock will be used for thread-safety if same backends assigned to multiple threads. Backend node will check all the pending requests in worker thread and do callback with the pointer of DMA batch if transfer completed. Application can utilize cookie in DMA batch for selves usage.
