Commit Message

Vincent Jardin Sept. 15, 2024, 2:30 p.m. UTC
This commit adds the integration of the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK),
a suite of libraries and drivers designed for high-performance packet
processing from the user space. DPDK enables direct packet steering from
some network interfaces to the userland, bypassing the Linux kernel
network stack. This is achieved through userland PCI drivers or by
leveraging some userland memory mappings of the network devices.

Originally inspired by RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) concepts, DPDK
has been adapted to work with PCI devices that do not inherently support
RDMA. This adaptation allows for low-latency, high-throughput data
processing by minimizing the overhead typically associated with
kernel-space network drivers.

Importantly, this commit does not enforce the use of UIO or VFIO
kernel frameworks, as DPDK's architecture supports userland memory
mappings that do not require these technologies. By maintaining this
flexibility, DPDK can operate with a broader range of hardware and
software configurations, making it suitable for diverse Buildroot's
deployment scenarios.

Yocto patch imported from:
  https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-dpdk/plain/recipes-extended/dpdk/dpdk/0001-config-meson-get-cpu_instruction_set-from-meson-opti.patch

The patch that fixes DPDK's meson for building properly for aarch64 was
suggested by Julien. It clearly points that DPDK's meson shall need a
proper set of fixes in order to properly cross-compile for aarch64,
riscv64 or ppc64. So for the time being, only the x86_64 and aarch64
targets are enabled. Other targets will be enabled later once DPDK
upstream will be properly fixed.

Only the little endian targets are properly supported by DPDK. Big endian
was supported, mostly on Power8, but it has not been used for a while and
IBM is not strongly pushing any tests. Should big endian be supported
again, DPDK community will be welcoming any  contributions.

Some nice to have for the Kernel, but not mandatory:
- CONFIG_VFIO_IOMMU_TYPE1=y
- CONFIG_VFIO_VIRQFD=y
- CONFIG_VFIO=y
- CONFIG_VFIO_NOIOMMU=y
- CONFIG_VFIO_PCI=y
- CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_MMAP=y
- CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=y
- CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=y
- CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR=y

For x86 only, HPET and HPET_MMAP can be some nice to have too.

Since they are some nice to have, but not mandatory ones, the following
Kernel config fixups are not used:
define DPDK_LINUX_CONFIG_FIXUPS
	$(call KCONFIG_ENABLE_OPT, CONFIG_HUGETLBFS)
	...
endef

Notes about license:

DPDK was released with the BSD-3-Clause license.

One network driver, the Google Virtual Ethernet (GVE) include files
under the MIT license. See [2] and [3].

DPDK had been including a Kernel Netdevice Interface (KNI) and an IGB_UIO
kernel module under the GPL-2.0 license. Those modules were moved into a
different repository [K]. Then, for instance, the KNI module was removed
by [KNI]. This commit was first included in version v23.11. The IGB_UIO kernel
module was removed by [UIO] since VFIO became capable of supporting all
the required usecases for the DPDK. The main remaining issues had been
the support of memory mapping within a VM or without the use of nested
virtualization but those were fixed by the latest VFIO's kernel support.
We can notice that the PMD drivers that are using the ibverbs (RDMA) APIs
are not sharing this need of UIO/VFIO.

There are also 2 files in "lib/eal/windows" under other licenses
(namely BSD-2-Clause, ISC and MIT) but they are parts of the Environment
Abstraction Library (EAL) for Microsoft Windows OS, it means they are
not used when compiling for the Linux targets of Buildroot.

The list of DPDK license exceptions is maintained at [3].

Add configuration options to enable DPDK examples and tests.

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for the update!

With this v6, I'm able to run few dpdk tests in Qemu on x86_64
and Aarch64.

In this current state, I would be OK to merge this patch as is.
Other improvements can be managed in later patches.

I'll propose new runtime tests later, once this patch will be merged.

Vincent, All,

On 2024-09-15 16:30 +0200, Vincent Jardin spake thusly:
> This commit adds the integration of the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK),
> a suite of libraries and drivers designed for high-performance packet

Thank you for this extensive introduction to DPDK. For Buildroot
commits, however, one or two sentences are usually sufficient, while
focusing on the Buildroot side of things is more important, like
describing the challenges and.or decisions that were made in the
packaging itself.

For example, the following paragraphs are really interesting, as they
describe and explain the packaging decisions you made and the rationale
behind them. Thanks a lot!

Since those are only optional and thus not enforced, maybe it would be
nice to list them in the help text for the main DPDK option?

I don't think it makes sense to provide that history; a simple sentence
would have been enough to clarify the situation, e.g.:

    There used to be GPL-2.0-only licensed kernel modules, but they got
    removed in previous versions [K] [KNI], so there is no longer any
    GPL-2.0-only code; it's all either BSD-3-Clause alone, or the dual
    license (GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause).

> There are also 2 files in "lib/eal/windows" under other licenses

The above is indeed important, thanks for noticing!

This is not an "upstream": indeed, Yocto is not the upstream of DPDK,
but it is a downstream.

The "Upstream" tag must reference the status of the patch in upstream:
  - has the patch been submitted? What's the URL, then?
  - if not, why not?
  - if refused, why do we keep it?

And you indeed have sch a status, which is the one in the Yocto's own
Upstream-Status tag, so just reuse that.

The location where you got it is indeed important, and you can just adsd
it below Lee Chee Yang's SoB line.

You also need to add your own sign-off on the patches you carry, as your
part of the chain of custody for that patch.

Ditto, add your sign-off.

Will you eventually send that patch upstream?

The help texts for those two options are mostly useless; indeed, the
phelp text mostly duplicated the prompt, so they do not provide any
additional information. If the prompt is enough to understand an option,
then there is no need to rpvide a help text.

Those two are superfluous and incorrect: we want to see the comment when
either consition is false, but with the above two, as soon as gcc >= 4.9
or the headers are >= 4.19, the com ment will be hidden; also, they are
already properly inclued in the cpondition below.

I'm not sure GPL-2.0 and LGPL-2.1 on their own make sense. Indeed, you
said earlier that GPL-2.0-only and LGPL-2.1-only code were removed.

What we would need however is probably something like:

    DPDK_LICENSE = \
        BSD-2-Clause, \
        BSD-3-Clause, \
        BSD=-3-Clause OR GPL-2.0, \
        BSD=-3-Clause OR LGPL-2.1, \
        ISC, \
        MIT

I think this is a misunderstanding of licensing terms: the files *are*
dual-licensed, so that is the licensing terms they are available under;
one is then free to exercise the rights they get from either or both
licenses.

So we want to include the GPL-2.0 and LGPL-2.0 license files, because
they do apply to some files, even if just as an option to choose from.

That file does not contain licensing terms; it just contains the
licensing policy to follow when contributoing to DPDK, so it does not
belong to the list of licebnse files, IMHO.

This will only guarantee that a "basic" host python3 is available, i.e.
without bz2, xz, curses, and ssl. Is that OK? If not, then both
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_PYTHON3 and any needed option should be selected from
Config.in.
