Nerverse N1 is a new SoC based on armv8.2-a and with other advanced features.
N1 SDP is the infrastructure segment development platform with N1 SoC inside.
Here is more information about it:
https://community.arm.com/developer/tools-software/oss-platforms/w/docs/440/neoverse-n1-sdp

V2:
Add the cover letter and the patch for cortex-a76 configuration

Gavin Hu (3):
  test/rcu: fix the compiling error for armv8.2
  config: add arm neoverse N1 SDP configuration
  config: add cortex-a76 configuration

What does RTE_MACHINE stand for?

Neoverse N1 is a CPU core, not a platform, not a SoC architecture etc.
Many different SoC's can be designed using the N1 core.
Some will be small with few cores and no NUMA, others might be large with many
cores and multi-socket (NUMA) support.
The N1SDP (N1 System Development Platform) is using such a small SoC (specially
designed for the N1DSP, it is not going to show up in other platforms). The
configuration below matches N1SDP but will most likely not match other future
N1-based SoC's. What do we do when other quite different "machines" using the
Neoverse N1 core shows up? Is it OK to qualitatively change these
configurations later?

This should probably be "n1sdp" as this is the name of the

Not sure, what it stands for. I cannot find a consistent assignment for it. Some time it takes 'armv8' (in the case of BlueField), 'dpaa', 'dpaa2', 'thunderx' etc (architecture, SoC, micro-architecture). I also cannot find an instance of its usage.

All other implementations of N1 based SoCs should have their own implementor ID and variant. Hence they should not clash with these configurations.
IIRC, BlueField had the same implementation ID as Arm (0x41), so ' flags_arm' was modified to reflect BlueField configuration. Hopefully, this will be corrected in the future.

I think, In the existing scheme of things, RTE_MACHINE defines, where
to take the MACHINE_CFLAGS
mk/machine/xxxx/rte.vars.mk

Considering the fact that there will be a lot of reusable IPs(for CPU)
from ARM for  armv8, I think,
it would make sense to introduce  RTE_MICRO_ARCH to avoid a lot of
code duplications and
confusion.

RTE_ARCH                             example: "x86" or "arm64"
RTE_MICRO_ARCH               example: "a72" or "thunderx3" - defines
mcpu and armv8 verion arch etc
RTE_MACHINE                       example: "bluefield" or "thunderx3"
- defines, number of cores, NUMA or not? etc

RTE_MACHINE should be probe based  on "implementation ID" for arm64
and reuse already defined RTE_MICRO_ARCH
to avoid code duplication.

Looking at mk/machine/ directory, looks like RTE_MACHINE seems to be defining micro-architecture for Intel. For ex: hsw, nhm, wsm. I see the same for Arm as well.
Are you suggesting that we use RTE_MICRO_ARCH to pick mk/micro-arch/xxxx/rte.vars.mk? and RTE_MACHINE would pick mk/machine/xxxx/rte.vars.mk, but contain NUMA, #of cores etc?

Yes for Make build. I think, it is deprecated soon, so we need a
similar solution for meson.

Yes I would prefer we clean the mess in Meson,
instead of talking about the makefile system.
And honestly, N1 is not needed in the legacy makefile system.

So focusing on config/arm/meson.build,
I think RTE_MACHINE is defined only for API compatibility with makefile.
However, I doubt this value is used by any application.
I think we can try to remove RTE_MACHINE from meson builds in DPDK 19.11,
or use RTE_MACHINE as micro-arch (my preference).

Unfortunately, most of the guys I talk to are still on makefile. When is makefile system getting removed?

'MACHINE' means different things to different people, which is the root cause of this discussion.
'MICRO-ARCH' has a very clear meaning. Do you see any problem going with MICRO-ARCH instead?

You need to help them to switch.
Adding new targets in meson-only can be a good motivation :)

> When is makefile system getting removed?

It must be clearly decided and announced.
The previous techboard discussions were about making makefile
hardly usable during 2020, i.e. very soon.

Some applications may use RTE_MACHINE for this purpose.
It is part of the API since the befinning of DPDK.
I don't see a real motivation to break this API now.

I see that there are already RTE_ARCH_X86, RTE_ARCH_ARM, RTE_ARCH_ARM64, RTE_ARCH_PPC_64 etc. I believe they should be sufficient.

Are you suggesting this just for Arm platforms?
My understanding is your intention was to clean up the config/arm/meson.build file.

The suggestions are not clear to me. The original suggestion was to introduce RTE_MICRO_ARCH and contain all the micro-architecture related compiler flags in that.
Now, the suggestion is to use RTE_MACHINE to contain micro-architecture related compiler flags. Will it contain NUMA, number of cores as well (as suggested earlier)? If yes, I do not see it changing anything.

I am not a meson expert. However, I looked at various meson.build files. I have few questions/concerns.
1) Are these suggestions are for all the platforms? IMO, these need to be the same across all the architectures.
2) I am looking at config/meson.build. Here RTE_MACHINE is defined to indicate Architecture for Arm (armv7-a, aarchxx) and micro-architecture for x86 (corei7?). Is the understanding correct? IMO, this should this have a common meaning across all the platforms?
3) If the changes are for all the platforms, is the risk high for 19.11 release?
4) The N1 config patch as such conforms to the current conventions. What is being asked here is an enhancement, is the understanding correct?

We consider it is an enhancement to introduce the RTE_MICRO_ARCH and I understand it is a high risk and we did not agree here yet.
I will submit v3 to change the configuration name from neoverse-n1 to n1sdp, to address Honnappa's comment.

Nerverse N1 is a new SoC based on armv8.2-a and with other advanced features.
N1 SDP is the infrastructure segment development platform with N1 SoC inside.
Here is more information about it:
https://community.arm.com/developer/tools-software/oss-platforms/w/docs/440/neoverse-n1-sdp

V3
-change the configuration name from "neoversen1" to "n1sdp" to be platform specific other than microarchitecture specific
-add the missing config/arm/arm64_n1sdp_linux-gcc file for meson build
V2:
-add the cover letter and the patch for cortex-a76 configuration

  test/rcu: fix the compiling error for armv8.2

Shouldn't we add ['RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE', 64], here?

flags_arm = [

For N1 SDP, RTE_MAX_LCORE = 4.
So this test weird.
Why not using rand() to find a number between 0 and max ?

You are hiding a real failure with a forced type casting.

Please reviewers, explain why you think it is the right thing to do?

Applied, without first patch.
Please re-submit a fix for RCU test.

If the RTE_MAX_LCORE is less than 10, a compilation error is generated:
app/test/test_rcu_qsbr.c:234:10: error: comparison of integer
expressions of different signedness: ‘unsigned int’ and ‘int’
[-Werror=sign-compare]

The cause is (RTE_MAX_LCORE - 10) results in a negative value.

To fix, use rte_rand() to find a number between 0 and RTE_MAX_LCORE.

Ok, it is the right side of the 'if' (not the left side).

I see the above commit was to fix a limited range of data type issue, this commit is to fix a signedness issue.

~/dpdk/app/test/test_rcu_qsbr.c:233:10: error: comparison of integer expressions of different signedness: ‘unsigned int’ and ‘int’ [-Werror=sign-compare]
