2020-11-04vlib: add postmortem pcap dispatch traceDave Barach1-10/+78
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.

2020-04-13buffers: configurable buffer fault injectorDave Barach1-0/+51
When configured at compile time via the cmake VPP_BUFFER_FAULT_INJECTOR option, the buffer allocator will appear to fail a certain fraction of the time. By default, the allocator succeeds 80% of the time. Detailed command line configuration options are available, but only when the image has been compiled with cmake option described above: vlib { buffer-alloc-success-rate [0.0 ... 1.0] buffer-alloc-success-seed <nnnn> } Modify vlib_buffer_pool_create(...) so 0 is always an invalid buffer index. Debug images: add checks for bad buffer index enqueues, and also verify that f->n_vectors doesn't accidentally map one or more instances of the frame poison pattern 0xfefefefe.

2020-02-06vlib: add plugin override supportDave Barach1-2/+0
Allow a plugin to override (suppress loading of) other plugins. This mechanism allows a developer to prevent specific plugins from being loaded. To do so, provide an "overrides" list in the plugin definition: VLIB_PLUGIN_REGISTER () = { <snip> .overrides = "avf_plugin.so,ioam_plugin.so,dpdk_plugin.so", }; or some such. Simply list the plugins in question as shown above. The .overrides structure member is limited to 256 octets. The named .elf section mechanism used to discover the vlib_plugin_registration_t's precludes the use of a variable-length array of strings. Use the vlib log to eliminate plugin and built-in vat plugin loader console spew. Added vlib_log_register_class_rate_limit(...) to allow procedural configuration of the log rate-limit. We *never* want to rate-limit plugin loader messages. Type: feature Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net> Change-Id: I0a9327b8cf5508482f057342783252112cb44170

2019-09-23interface: use the correct condition for checking if the pcap fd is openAndrew Yourtchenko1-1/+1
The 9af7e2e87e used a comparison that fd is >= 0 to check that the pcap needs closing. While the pcap_close() function does reset the file descriptor to -1, the freshly initialized structure has it equal to 0. This causes the VPP to close stdin if the packets are being seen on pg interface without the capture file being opened. This triggers the vpp attempting to read from STDIN (another bug), which results in running out of memory.

2019-07-18vlib: convert frame_index into real pointersAndreas Schultz1-44/+37
The fast path almost always has to deal with the real pointers. Deriving the frame pointer from a frame_index requires a load of the 32bit frame_index from memory, another 64bit load of the heap base pointer and some calculations. Lets store the full pointer instead and do a single 64bit load only. This helps avoiding problems when the heap is grown and frames are allocated below vm->heap_aligned_base.

2019-01-24perfmon plugin: 2-way parallel stat collectionDave Barach1-38/+48
As a FUD reduction measure, this patch implements 2-way parallel counter collection. Synthetic stat component counter pairs run at the same time. Running two counters (of any kind) at the same time naturally reduces the aggregate time required by an approximate factor-of-2, depending on whether an even or odd number of stats have been requested. I don't completely buy the argument that computing synthetic stats such as instructions-per-clock will be inaccurate if component counter values are collected sequentially. Given uniform traffic pattern, it must make no difference. As the collection interval increases, the difference between serial and parallel component counter collection will approach zero, see also the Central Limit theorem.
