This patch adds a new information metrics library. This Metrics
library implements a mechanism by which producers can publish
numeric information for later querying by consumers. Metrics
themselves are statistics that are not generated by PMDs, and
hence are not reported via ethdev extended statistics.

Metric information is populated using a push model, where
producers update the values contained within the metric
library by calling an update function on the relevant metrics.
Consumers receive metric information by querying the central
metric data, which is held in shared memory.

+
+Metrics Library
+===============
+
+The Metrics library implements a mechanism by which *producers* can
+publish numeric information for later querying by *consumers*. In
+practice producers will typically be other libraries or primary
+processes, whereas consumers will typically be applications.
+
+Metrics themselves are statistics that are not generated by PMDs. Metric
+information is populated using a push model, where producers update the
+values contained within the metric library by calling an update function
+on the relevant metrics. Consumers receive metric information by querying
+the central metric data, which is held in shared memory.
+
+For each metric, a separate value is maintained for each port id, and
+when publishing metric values the producers need to specify which port is
+being updated. In addition there is a special id ``RTE_METRICS_GLOBAL``
+that is intended for global statistics that are not associated with any
+individual device. Since the metrics library is self-contained, the only
+restriction on port numbers is that they are less than ``RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS``
+- there is no requirement for the ports to actually exist.
+
+Initialising the library
+------------------------
+
+Before the library can be used, it has to be initialized by calling
+``rte_metrics_init()`` which sets up the metric store in shared memory.
+This is where producers will publish metric information to, and where
+consumers will query it from.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    rte_metrics_init(rte_socket_id());
+
+This function **must** be called from a primary process, but otherwise
+producers and consumers can be in either primary or secondary processes.
+
+Registering metrics
+-------------------
+
+Metrics must first be *registered*, which is the way producers declare
+the names of the metrics they will be publishing. Registration can either
+be done individually, or a set of metrics can be registered as a group.
+Individual registration is done using ``rte_metrics_reg_name()``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    id_1 = rte_metrics_reg_name("mean_bits_in");
+    id_2 = rte_metrics_reg_name("mean_bits_out");
+    id_3 = rte_metrics_reg_name("peak_bits_in");
+    id_4 = rte_metrics_reg_name("peak_bits_out");
+
+or alternatively, a set of metrics can be registered together using
+``rte_metrics_reg_names()``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    const char * const names[] = {
+        "mean_bits_in", "mean_bits_out",
+        "peak_bits_in", "peak_bits_out",
+    };
+    id_set = rte_metrics_reg_names(&names[0], 4);
+
+If the return value is negative, it means registration failed. Otherwise
+the return value is the *key* for the metric, which is used when updating
+values. A table mapping together these key values and the metrics' names
+can be obtained using ``rte_metrics_get_names()``.
+
+Updating metric values
+----------------------
+
+Once registered, producers can update the metric for a given port using
+the ``rte_metrics_update_value()`` function. This uses the metric key
+that is returned when registering the metric, and can also be looked up
+using ``rte_metrics_get_names()``.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_1, values[0]);
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_2, values[1]);
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_3, values[2]);
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_4, values[3]);
+
+if metrics were registered as a single set, they can either be updated
+individually using ``rte_metrics_update_value()``, or updated together
+using the ``rte_metrics_update_values()`` function:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_set, values[0]);
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_set + 1, values[1]);
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_set + 2, values[2]);
+    rte_metrics_update_value(port_id, id_set + 3, values[3]);
+
+    rte_metrics_update_values(port_id, id_set, values, 4);
+
+Note that ``rte_metrics_update_values()`` cannot be used to update
+metric values from *multiple* *sets*, as there is no guarantee two
+sets registered one after the other have contiguous id values.
+
+Querying metrics
+----------------
+
+Consumers can obtain metric values by querying the metrics library using
+the ``rte_metrics_get_values()`` function that return an array of
+``struct rte_metric_value``. Each entry within this array contains a metric
+value and its associated key. A key-name mapping can be obtained using the
+``rte_metrics_get_names()`` function that returns an array of
+``struct rte_metric_name`` that is indexed by the key. The following will
+print out all metrics for a given port:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    void print_metrics() {
+        struct rte_metric_name *names;
+        int len;
+
+        len = rte_metrics_get_names(NULL, 0);
+        if (len < 0) {
+            printf("Cannot get metrics count\n");
+            return;
+        }
+        if (len == 0) {
+            printf("No metrics to display (none have been registered)\n");
+            return;
+        }
+        metrics = malloc(sizeof(struct rte_metric_value) * len);
+        names =  malloc(sizeof(struct rte_metric_name) * len);
+        if (metrics == NULL || names == NULL) {
+            printf("Cannot allocate memory\n");
+            free(metrics);
+            free(names);
+            return;
+        }
+        ret = rte_metrics_get_values(port_id, metrics, len);
+        if (ret < 0 || ret > len) {
+            printf("Cannot get metrics values\n");
+            free(metrics);
+            free(names);
+            return;
+        }
+        printf("Metrics for port %i:\n", port_id);
+        for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
+            printf("  %s: %"PRIu64"\n",
+                names[metrics[i].key].name, metrics[i].value);
+        free(metrics);
+        free(names);

+ * Metrics are statistics that are not generated by PMDs, and hence
+ * are better reported through a mechanism that is independent from
+ * the ethdev-based extended statistics. Providers will typically
+ * be other libraries and consumers will typically be applications.
+ *
+ * Metric information is populated using a push model, where producers
+ * update the values contained within the metric library by calling
+ * an update function on the relevant metrics. Consumers receive
+ * metric information by querying the central metric data, which is
+ * held in shared memory. Currently only bulk querying of metrics
+ * by consumers is supported.
