  To: thomas, john.mcnamara; +Cc: dev, roman.p.khatko, Ilia Kurakin

From: Ilia Kurakin <ilia.kurakin@intel.com>

The patch changes rx_burst profiling approach:
	1. VTune's instrumentation is removed
	2. empty hook callback for profiling is added
This way all VTune-specific logic moves to the VTune side. Hook is enabled
only when CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_PROFILE_WITH_VTUNE option is turned on. VTune uses
this hook to attach to the polling cycle. It is not possible to attach to the
rx_burst directly, as it is inline.

-Empty cycles tracing
+Profiling with VTune
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-Iterations that yielded no RX packets (empty cycles, wasted iterations) can
-be analyzed using VTune Amplifier. This profiling employs the
-`Instrumentation and Tracing Technology (ITT) API
-<https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/544195>`_
-feature of VTune Amplifier and requires only reconfiguring the DPDK library,
-no changes in a DPDK application are needed.
-
-To trace wasted iterations on RX queues, first reconfigure DPDK with
-``CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_RXTX_CALLBACKS`` and
-``CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_PROFILE_ITT_WASTED_RX_ITERATIONS`` enabled.
-
-Then rebuild DPDK, specifying paths to the ITT header and library, which can
-be found in any VTune Amplifier distribution in the *include* and *lib*
-directories respectively:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-I<path to ittnotify.h> \
-         EXTRA_LDLIBS="-L<path to libittnotify.a> -littnotify"
-
-Finally, to see wasted iterations in your performance analysis results,
-select the *"Analyze user tasks, events, and counters"* checkbox in the
-*"Analysis Type"* tab when configuring analysis via VTune Amplifier GUI.
-Alternatively, when running VTune Amplifier via command line, specify
-``-knob enable-user-tasks=true`` option.
-
-Collected regions of wasted iterations will be marked on VTune Amplifier's
-timeline as ITT tasks. These ITT tasks have predefined names, containing
-Ethernet device and RX queue identifiers.
+To allow VTune attaching to the DPDK application, reconfigure and recompile
+the DPDK with ``CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_RXTX_CALLBACKS`` and
+``CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_PROFILE_WITH_VTUNE`` enabled.
