release candidate 23.07-rc1

[Thomas Monjalon]

A new DPDK release candidate is ready for testing:
	https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/tag/?id=v23.07-rc1

There are 574 new patches in this snapshot.

Release notes:
	https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/rel_notes/release_23_07.html

Highlights of 23.07-rc1:
	- AMD CDX bus
	- PCI MMIO read/write
	- new flow patterns: Tx queue, Infiniband BTH
	- new flow actions: push/remove IPv6 extension
	- indirect flow rule list
	- flow rule update
	- vhost interrupt callback
	- VDUSE in vhost library
	- more ShangMi crypto algorithms
	- PDCP library
	- removed LiquidIO driver

Please test and report issues on bugs.dpdk.org.

DPDK 23.07-rc2 is expected in approximately two weeks.

This release candidate comes late, maintainers need more help.
Renewing the maintainers staff and getting more reviews
are topics under discussion in the techboard meetings.

Update the test status for Intel part. Till now dpdk23.07-rc1 test execution rate is 50%. 2 critical issues have been found.
critical issues:
    1. [dpdk-23.07] ice_switch_filter/test_mac_ipv4_tcp_pipeline_mode: Failed to create rule -> Intel dev is under investigating
    2. [dpdk-23.07] no probed ethernet devices after starting testpmd with ICX-D -> Intel dev is under investigating
# Basic Intel(R) NIC testing
* Build or compile:  
 *Build: cover the build test combination with latest GCC/Clang version and the popular OS revision such as Ubuntu20.04.5, Ubuntu22.04.2, Fedora38, RHEL8.7/9.2, Centos7.9, OpenAnolis8.8, CBL-Mariner2.0 etc.
  - All test passed.
 *Compile: cover the CFLAGES(O0/O1/O2/O3) with popular OS such as Ubuntu22.04.2 and RHEL9.0.
  - All test passed with latest dpdk.
* Meson test & Asan test: 
    known issue:
	    - https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1107 [22.11-rc1][meson test] seqlock_autotest test failed
	    - https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1123 [dpdk-22.11][asan] the stack-buffer-overflow was found when quit testpmd in Redhat9
* PF/VF(i40e, ixgbe): test scenarios including PF/VF-RTE_FLOW/TSO/Jumboframe/checksum offload/VLAN/VXLAN, etc. 
	- Execution rate is 90%. Find 1 new bug: 
        https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1249: [dpdk-23.07] ixgbe port stop failed after launch testpmd -> No fix yet
* PF/VF(ice): test scenarios including Switch features/Package Management/Flow Director/Advanced Tx/Advanced RSS/ACL/DCF/Flexible Descriptor, etc.
	- Execution rate is 50%. Find 2 new bugs: critical issues 1&2
* Intel NIC single core/NIC performance: test scenarios including PF/VF single core performance test, RFC2544 Zero packet loss performance test, etc.
	- Execution rate is 50%. No new issue is found
* Power and IPsec: 
 * Power: test scenarios including bi-direction/Telemetry/Empty Poll Lib/Priority Base Frequency, etc. 
	- Execution rate is 50%. No new issue is found. 
 * IPsec: test scenarios including ipsec/ipsec-gw/ipsec library basic test - QAT&SW/FIB library, etc.
	- On going. No new issue is found. 
# Basic cryptodev and virtio testing
* Virtio: both function and performance test are covered. Such as PVP/Virtio_loopback/virtio-user loopback/virtio-net VM2VM perf testing/VMAWARE ESXI 8.0, etc.
	- Execution rate is 80%. Find 1 new issue:
        [dpdk-23.07] start dpdk-pdump in VM with virtio-0.95 protocol failed -> Intel dev is under investigating
* Cryptodev: 
 *Function test: test scenarios including Cryptodev API testing/CompressDev ISA-L/QAT/ZLIB PMD Testing/FIPS, etc.
	- On going. No new issue is found. 
 *Performance test: test scenarios including Throughput Performance /Cryptodev Latency, etc.
	- On going. No performance drop.
