[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/4] support acl/lpm/table/pipeline libs for armv7 and armv8

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/4] support acl/lpm/table/pipeline libs for armv7 and armv8

[Jianbo Liu]

Hi,
I'm from Linaro.org, and will work on DPDK to make it better
runing on different ARM Platforms.

This patchset includes a small fix in rte_cycle_32.h,
and enables acl/lpm/table/pipeline libs for armv7 and armv8.
Please apply it after [PATCH v4 0/2] disable CONFIG_RTE_SCHED_VECTOR for arm.

Thanks!
Jianbo

Would it avoid some merge conflicts or is there some other dependency?

There is no conflicts, but please apply Jerin's patch first since this
patchset is based on that.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/4] eal/arm: use RTE_ARM_EAL_RDTSC_USE_PMU in rte_cycle_32.h

[Jan Viktorin]

Hello Jianbo,

thank you for this fix. I had the feeling this works the same like in the Linux
Kernel where the CONFIG_ prefix is be used. My bad. I recommend to make
this patch separate. I can't see any relation to the rest of the series.

Regards
Jan

I believe SIMD is optional in armv7. If true, select alg as
RTE_ACL_CLASSIFY_NEON only when cpufeature NEON enabled.

Yes. Or, probably, we can be happy with

#if defined(__ARM_NEON_FP)
...
#endif

as it is currently done in rte_memcpy_32.h.

Athough optional for armv7, I believe there is NEON in most of the
popular armv7a chips.
Anyway, I will add the checking...

Thanks!

I already sent the patch on the same yesterday.
We can converge the patches after the discussion.

IMO, it makes sense to not emulate the SSE intrinsics with NEON
Let's create the rte_vect_* as required. look at the existing patch.

Separate out arm implementation to the different header file.
Too many ifdef looks odd in the header file and difficult to manage.

Nice. There is an improvement in this portion code wrt my patch. This is
a candidate for convergence.

This would call for change in the change the ABI,
IMO, __m128i can be used to represent 128bit vector to avoid ABI chang

Could you  rebase your patch based on existing patch and send the
improvement portion as separate patch or I can send update patch with
your improvements and with your signoff.

I thought of creating a layer of SIMD over all the platforms before.
But can't you see it make things complicated, considering there are
only few simple intrinsic to implement?
If do so, we also need to explain to others how to use these interfaces.
Besides, this patch did the smallest changes to the original code, and
more likely to be accepted by others.

And It seems unreasonable to add a new file only for one small function.

This redefine rte_lpm_lookupx4 is unncessary, I will remove it, so no
ABI change.
And there only one ifdef for ARM platforms left.

IMO, it's not always good to emulate GCC defined intrinsics of
other architecture. What if a legacy DPDK application has such mappings
then BOOM, multiple definition, which one is correct? which one
to comment it out? Integration pain starts for DPDK library consumer:-(

Not true, There were, a lot of SSE intrinsics needs be to emulated for ACL NEON
implementation if I were to take this approach and emulation comes with
the cost.

So my take is,
lets the each architecture implementation for specific SIMD version of DPDK
API in the library should have the freedom to implement the API in
NATIVE.

And let's create only rte_vect_* abstraction only for using
that API/library. Which boils down to have very minimal rte_vect_*
abstraction to load, store, set not beyond that.

This makes clear "contract" between DPDK library and the applications.
and make easy for remaning new architecture  porting effort in DPDK.

Imagine how your proposed function will look like if new architecture
wants to implement "optimized" version of rte_lpm_lookupx4

other patch makes no changes to IA version of rte_lpm_lookupx4.I thought
that make reviewer easy to review the changes in architecture
perspective.

small or big, its matter of each architecture to have
the freedom for the optimized version for the implementation.

What if  other architecture demands to write this function in assembly
or restructure it for performance improvement?

They can include rte_vect.h in build/include directly, which is linked correctly
to the one for that ARCH, so there is no need to worry about.

No, I will not re-implement all the intrinsic like that .
I only do with the simple intrinsic, such as load/store, as you said below.

Agree.
But I reuse existing intrinsic names, and you recreate new ones.
And I try to do as few changes as possible, and try to avoid any
mistaken which may cause code un-compiled.
I think it's design level question, we need to hear what others talk about it.

There is no optimization for this (simple) rte_lpm_lookupx4, otherwise
you have done that in your patch.
If there is for other new platform, defintely they should do like
yours, as you did for NEON ACL.

As I know, they don't enable LPM for PPC, and ARM is the first one to
touch this issue.

If there is such demands, should do like that.
But I don't see any restructure in your patch, and you still follow
the logic as x86, is it worth adding a new file?

My preference would also be to put architecture dependent implementation
into different files. 
Might be create lib/librte_lpm/arch/(arm|x86)/... here?

my existing patch creates lib/librte_lpm/rte_lpm_neon.h instead
of lib/librte_lpm/arch/arm/rte_lpm_neon.h like
lib/librte_hash/rte_cmp_x86.h

I am OK for changing the directory structure as proposed in my next revision
of patch.
Let me know if anyone has any objections/concerns.

I don't like the idea to have arch/... directory structure inside
libraries. I would delay such decision until there are really a big
number of different optimized implementations.

However, the rte_lpm_neon.h approach is OK from my point of view.

I think you missed the point,I was trying to say that
legacy DPDK application and third party stacks uses SSE2NEON kind of
libraries
for quick integration, for example, something like this
https://github.com/jratcliff63367/sse2neon/blob/master/SSE2NEON.h

AND they include "rte_lpm.h"(it internally includes rte_vect.h)
that lead to multiple definition and its not good.

but you forced to add _mm_and_si128 also to the list and emulated
_mm_and_si128 intrinsic. Am just saying no emulation.

Its trival to verify. Just compile it

SIMD Logic on getting  4 indexes for tbl24[] is different.

/* get 4 indexes for tbl24[]. */
i24 = _mm_srli_epi32(ip, CHAR_BIT);

/* extract values from tbl24[] */
idx = _mm_cvtsi128_si64(i24);
i24 = _mm_srli_si128(i24, sizeof(uint64_t));

tbl[0] = *(const uint16_t *)&lpm->tbl24[(uint32_t)idx];
tbl[1] = *(const uint16_t *)&lpm->tbl24[idx >> 32];

idx = _mm_cvtsi128_si64(i24);

tbl[2] = *(const uint16_t *)&lpm->tbl24[(uint32_t)idx];
tbl[3] = *(const uint16_t *)&lpm->tbl24[idx >> 32];

VS

/* extract values from tbl24[] */
idx = vgetq_lane_u64((uint64x2_t)i24, 0);

tbl[0] = *(const uint16_t *)&lpm->tbl24[(uint32_t)idx];
tbl[1] = *(const uint16_t *)&lpm->tbl24[idx >> 32];

idx = vgetq_lane_u64((uint64x2_t)i24, 1);

tbl[2] = *(const uint16_t *)&lpm->tbl24[(uint32_t)idx];
tbl[3] = *(const uint16_t *)&lpm->tbl24[idx >> 32];

Guys, do we want emulate x86 on ARM? I hope we don't ;). I think, as
more platforms might come into DPDK, there will be a need for a proper
abstract vector operations API. Yes, we have to describe this API to
people. However, otherwise, the ARM guys must learn SSE and write for
ARM platform something that looks quite odd. And if there are some "neon
emulations" as shown above, it's definitely an argue to have the API
that can hide those approachs.

But you will have similar issue since "typedef int32x4_t __m128i"
appears in both your patch and this header file.

I means simple intrinsic, not load/store only.
Depends on how you define emulation. Actually, these simple intrisinic
could be only one NEON instruction, and will not bring cost.

It's only the optimazation of part of code in that function. I did the
similar in my patch.
But, looking from the whole, this function is not restructured, and
the logic is the same as x86.

I just tested it, it won't break, back to back "typedef int32x4_t __m128i"
is fine(unlike inline function).

my intention to keep __m128i "as is"  because changing the __m128i to rte_???
something would break the ABI.

Isn't it already broken in 2.2?

Does it mean, You would like to have rte_128i(or similar) kind of
abstraction to represent 128bit SIMD variable in DPDK?

If you are convinced that it is the best way to write a generic code, yes.
I think the most important question is to know what is the best solution
for performance and maintainability. The API/ABI questions will be considered
after.

Thanks for your involvement guys.

IMO, a true portable platform-independent library may need rte_128i kind
of abstracttion to represent a 128bit SIMD variable. I can send an RFC
patch to see the changes required across the DPDK.

I grep-ed through DPDK API list to see the dependency with SIMD in API
definition.I see only rte_lpm_lookupx4 API has SIMD dependency in API
definition.

I believe that's the root cause of the problem. IMO, The
better way to fix this would be to remove __m128i from API and have more
general representation to remove the architecture dependency from API

something like this,

rte_lpm_lookupx4(const struct rte_lpm *lpm, uint32_t *ip, uint16_t
hop[4], uint16_t defv)

instead of

rte_lpm_lookupx4(const struct rte_lpm *lpm, __m128i ip, uint16_t
hop[4],  uint16_t defv)

Now I am not sure why this API was created like this, from l3fwd.c
example, it looks to accommodate the IPV4 byte swap[1]. If it's true,
maybe we can have eal byte swap abstraction for optimized byte swap on
memory for 4 IP address in one shot

or

Have rte_lpm_lookupx4 take an argument for byte swap or not ?

or

something similar?

Thoughts ?

[1]
const  __m128i bswap_mask = _mm_set_epi8(12, 13, 14, 15, 8, 9, 10, 11,
                                                4, 5, 6, 7, 0, 1, 2, 3);
/* Byte swap 4 IPV4 addresses. */
dip = _mm_shuffle_epi8(dip, bswap_mask);

The idea for that function was that rte_lpm_lookupx4() accepts 4 IPv4 addresses that are:
1. already in 128bit register
2. 'prepared' - byte swap is already done for them if needed. 

About ways to fix  __m128i dependency: as I can see x86 and arm DPDK code
already has xmm_t typedef:
 
$ find lib -type f | xargs grep xmm_t | grep typedef
lib/librte_eal/common/include/arch/x86/rte_vect.h:typedef __m128i xmm_t;
lib/librte_eal/common/include/arch/arm/rte_vect.h:typedef int32x4_t xmm_t;

Why not to  change rte_lpm_lookupx4() to accept xmm_t as input parameter.
As I understand it would solve the problem, and wouldn't introduce any API/ABI breakage, right?

Yes, If we have API/ABI breakage concerns.

IMO, Now this would call for some kind of rte_vect_* abstraction load,
store, set kind of SIMD operation on xmm_t in common test code to
aviod #ifdef's in app/test/test_lpm.c

I guess we may not need those abstractions in
lib/librte_eal/common/include/arch/ directory.
keeping in app/test/xmmt_ops.h should be enough, right?

That sounds ok to me.
At least for now.
For future the more generic question - do we like to have some
generic layer abstraction for similar vector instrincts across different archs?

from other side - there would be extra hassle creating/supporting it.

There are few such libaries avilable on web. example:

NEON -> SSE
https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/cf/f6/NEONvsSSE.h

SSE -> NEON
https://github.com/jratcliff63367/sse2neon/blob/master/SSE2NEON.h

but coming up with common abstraction will  be difficult as it's not
one to one mapped all the time and performance criteria to choose
the instruction on given architecture to realize a certain logic etc

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/3] support acl lib for armv7-a and a small fix

[Jianbo Liu]

This patchset includes a small fix in rte_cycle_32.h,
and support ACL for armv7-a platform.

v2:
- select alg as RTE_ACL_CLASSIFY_NEON only when NEON is checked in cpuflags.
- remove lpm/table/pipeline patch, and part of change will be merged into Jerin's.

Jianbo Liu (3):
  eal/arm: use RTE_ARM_EAL_RDTSC_USE_PMU in rte_cycle_32.h
  eal/acl: enable acl for armv7-a

I'm convinced there is a good reason why ARMv8 is also called ARCH_ARM64,
and ARMv7 may be called AArch32 or ARCH_ARM. But I don't know why?

Is ARCH_ARM32 or ARCH_ARMv7 too simple?
Is it possible to have a 32-bit ARMv8?

So what does mean CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARM?
ARMv7? ARM32?
Please consider a renaming.

I'd rather not renaming becase it can be both ARMv7 and AARCH32, which
are ISA compatibility.
If further differentiation is needed, CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARMv7 is added
in the config, just like Jan Viktorin did.

I don't understand.
You say CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARM is for ARMv7 and AARCH32, right?
Both are 32-bit right?
Why not rename it to CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARM32?

I understand that you want to make the naming more clear.
But arm/arm64 are used in Linux kernel, I think it's better to stay the same.

Linux supports ARM for a very long time. Doing a rename now is costly.
The DPDK support is recent. Keeping a bad naming scheme because an
old project follows this scheme is insane.

I think, the idea about having CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARM32 is not bad. We
should do it soon, however.

Hello,

CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARMv7 entry specifies the certain architecture, subset of CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARM (which is 32b).

For ARM64 we can differentiate among architectures v8, v9, ..., v64 :) as well.

However, I doubt somebody will use dpdk on ARMv6.

IMO, the major options should be CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARM and CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARM64.
