2019-01-24perfmon plugin: 2-way parallel stat collectionDave Barach1-2/+4
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.

The buffer index allows downstream consumers of these data to easily filter/track single packets as they traverse the forwarding graph. FWIW, the 32-bit buffer index is stored in big endian format. As of this writing, major version = 1, minor version = 0. Nstrings will be either 4 or 5. Here is the current set of protocol hints: typedef enum { VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_NONE = 0, VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_ETHERNET, VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_IP4, VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_IP6, VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_TCP, VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_UDP, VLIB_NODE_N_PROTO_HINTS, } vlib_node_proto_hint_t; Example: VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_IP6 means that the first octet of packet data SHOULD be 0x60, and should begin an ipv6 packet header.

2018-09-14vlib: introduce user flags in vlib_frame_tDamjan Marion1-0/+3
Those flags have local significance and they can be used for sending hints to the next node. Change-Id: Ic2596ee81c64cd16f96344365370e8fcdc465354 Signed-off-by: Damjan Marion <damarion@cisco.com>

2018-08-13Multiarch handling in different constructor macrosDamjan Marion1-0/+5
This significantly reduces need for ... in multiarch code. Simply constructor macros will jost create static unused entry if CLIB_MARCH_VARIANT is defined and that will be optimized out by compiler.

2017-04-06Use thread local storage for thread indexDamjan Marion1-3/+3
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.
