The main interior graph-node dispatch loop had a longstanding dangling
vector element reference:
for (i = 0; i < _vec_len (nm->pending_frames); i++)
cpu_time_now = dispatch_pending_node (vm, nm->pending_frames + i,
cpu_time_now);
Passing a pointer to a vector element (nm->pending_frames + i) has
considerable comedic potential if there's any chance that the vector
could expand.
dispatch_pending_node() calls dispatch_node(), and indirectly any
interior graph node dispatch function. If that node happens to expand
nm->pending_frames by filling in a new frame, nm->pending_frames can
expand.
After calling the node dispatch function, dispatch_node() does the
following:
nf = vec_elt_at_index (nm->next_frames, p->next_frame_index);
If nm->pending_frames expands during dispatch function execution, p is
a dangling reference to freed memory.
By luck, the TCP stack managed to allocate a fresh frame which
included "old-p," which caused p->next_frame_index to be filled with
the new-frame poison pattern 0xfefefefe.
This has been broken from day 1, summer 2007, first use of the
third-generation vector processing library.

and add adaptive mode support to receive queue
- Migrate vhost to use device infra which does the interface/queue to worker
thread assignment.
- Retire vhost thread CLI and corresponding code which assigns interface/queue
to worker thread. set interface placement should be used instead to customize
the interface/queue to worker thread assignment.
- Retire vhost interrupt/polling option when creating vhost-user interface.
Instead, set interface rx-mode should be used.
- Add code in vnet_device_input_unassign_thread to change the node state
to interrupt if the last polling interface has left the worker thread for the
device of the corresponding interface/queue.
- Add adaptive mode support. The node state is set to interrupt initially.
When the scheduler detects a burst of traffic, it switches the input node to
polling. Then we inform the device that we don't need interrupt notification.
When the traffic subsides, the scheduler switches the input node back to
interrupt. Then we immediately tell the driver that we want interrupt
notification again.
- Remove some duplicate code in vlib/main.c

This patch deprecates stack-based thread identification,
Also removes requirement that thread stacks are adjacent.
Finally, possibly annoying for some folks, it renames
all occurences of cpu_index and cpu_number with thread
index. Using word "cpu" is misleading here as thread can
be migrated ti different CPU, and also it is not related
to linux cpu index.

Fix a decade-old ridiculous qsort function bug. Managed to subtract
floating-point numbers as if they were integers, leading to
manufactured time-paradoxes. That completely confuses g2, leading to
the summary disappearance of entire tracks' worth of data at high zoom
levels.
Add a manual alignment tweak parameter to elog_merge, users can
dial-out time paradoxes caused by NTP-grade clock synchronization.
The event-logger has a precision of O(100ns), whereas NTP
synchronization is O(1ms).

Worker main loop is now shared code with main thread
main loop so no need to export functions anymore.

vhost currently supports only polling mode. This patch is to add
interrupt mode. When the interface is configured for interrupt
mode, our input node does not get called unless there is a packet
in the vring.
If a particular CPU has one interface configured for polling mode
and another in interrupt, the input node is set to polling for
that CPU.
This diffs also includes two crashes in vlib's dispatch_node. One is
included in https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/5516. The other crash is in
the ASSERT. The ASSERT can become true when the caller of
dispatch_node is in a loop. The first call converted the node
to polling. The second call thereafter will hit the ASSERT.

dispatch_node may be invoked from vlib main or worker threads. The call to
ELOG_DATA in dispatch_node passes the parameter &vm->elog_main. It works fine
when dispatch_node is invoked from the main thread. It does bad thing when it
is invoked from the worker thread.
While we are at it, make two additional enhancements to the same area.
1. Use ELOG_TRACK_DATA instead of ELOG_DATA to enhance g2 viewer presentation.
2. Since ELOG_DATA is in the data path, it could get very chatty. Make the call
to ELOG_TRACK_DATA conditional compile.
