2022-08-24vlib: allow longer version stringMatthew Smith1-2/+2
Type: improvement When trying to use a version string in a downstream build that appends a timestamp to the standard version string, compiling fails because the version string is too long for the version and version_required fields in vlib_plugin_registration_t. Increase the size of those arrays from 32 to 64 chars. Signed-off-by: Matthew Smith <mgsmith@netgate.com> Change-Id: I3632139e5ae7110aa4769359f380ad29522ad4ed

2020-10-15vlib: add cgo-friendly plugin registration supportDave Barach1-0/+27
Allows us to declare plugin registrations in a non-disgusting way: var plugin_reg = vpp.PluginRegistration{ Description: "The CGO plugin", Version: "My Version", Overrides: "sample_plugin.so", } It turns out that the specific compiler setup generates (.data section offset, length) pairs in the .vlib_plugin_r2 section: Contents of section .vlib_plugin_r2: 1ba9d0 00000000 00000000 50a81800 00000000 ........P....... 1ba9e0 0a000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ 1ba9f0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ 1baa00 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ 1baa10 00000000 00000000 70a81800 00000000 ........p....... 1baa20 0e000000 00000000 ........

2020-07-16vlib: fix asan compilation with gccBenoît Ganne1-1/+1
clang tends to force alignment of all sections when compiling for address sanitizer, confusing VPP plugin infra. On the contrary, GCC does not support this attribute on sections. Selectively enable it depending upon the compiler.

2020-02-06vlib: add plugin override supportDave Barach1-0/+5
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

2017-02-03Plugin infrastructure improvementsDamjan Marion1-3/+28
This patch replaces requirement for vlib_plugin_register function in the plugin so file and introduces new macro: VLIB_PLUGIN_REGISTER () = { .version = "version string", .version_required = "requred version", .default_disabled = 1, .early_init = "early_init_function_name", }; Plugin will nor be loaded if .default_disabled is set to 1 unless explicitely enabled in startup.conf. If .verstion_required is set, plugin will not be loaded if there is version mismatch between plugin and vpp. This can be bypassed by setting "skip-version-check" for specific plugin. If .early-init string is present, plugin loader will try to resolve this specific symbol in the plugin namespace and make a function call. Following startup.conf configuration is added: plugins { path /path/to/plugin/directory plugin ila_plugin.so { enable skip-version-check } plugin acl_plugin.so { disable } } Change-Id: I706c691dd34d94ffe9e02b59831af8859a95f061 Signed-off-by: Damjan Marion <damarion@cisco.com>
