This patch series add support for building DPDK using MinGW-w64.

MinGW-w64 provides GNU toolchain and independent platform SDK on
Windows. It also supports cross-compilation to Windows from POSIX
systems by providing cross tollchains and libraries [0]. It does NOT
emulate a full POSIX environment, like Cygwin or MSYS do.

There are advantages in using MinGW-w64 in addition to Clang:

1. Cross-compilation out-of-the-box. MinGW-w64 is provides a pthread
   implementation, GNU getopt, and Windows platform SDK.

2. Easier porting of POSIX applications using DPDK to Windows, because
   application code can use the same benefits as mentioned above.

3. Having both primary compilers enabled on Windows provides more
   diagnostics and generally prevents non-portable code.

When using __attribute__((format(...)) on functions, GCC on Windows
assumes MS-specific format string by default, even if the underlying
stdio implementation is ANSI-compliant (either MS Unicersal CRT
or MinGW implementation). Wrap attribute into a macro that forces
GNU-specific format string when using GCC.

MinGW-w64 linker does not mimic MS linker options, so the build system
must differentiate between linkers on Windows. Use GNU linker options
with GCC and MS linker options with Clang.

MinGW-w64 by default uses MSVCRT stdio, which does not comply to ANSI,
most notably its formatting and string handling functions. MinGW-w64
support for the Universal CRT (UCRT) is ongoing, but the toolchain
provides its own standard-complying implementation of stdio. The latter
is used in the patch to support formatting in DPDK.

Add Meson configuration to cross-compile for Windows using MinGW-w64.
It may require adjustments in some cases, but at least it provides
the foundation.

I really like this patch.
So both GCC (with MinGW) and native clang are supported?

I think having the choice between GCC and Clang for Windows is very cool.

When starting the Windows port, I asked the fundamental question of the
supported compilers. The answer was MinGW adds "non-standard" DLLs:
	https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2019-January/124236.html

Now the question is to know which one is the easiest to use?
If I understand well, MinGW brings the missing parts we are trying
to add in the DPDK repository for compliance with POSIX libraries.

It will work for any Meson version, I meant that Meson 0.54 will introduce a
better way to determine linker ID. Can you suggest a better wording?

Yes, Windows 7 and above is need for already existing code in eal_lcore.c,
specifically for GetLogicalProcessorInformation() call.

When including <windows.h>, one must define minimum API version the
application is compiled against [0]. MSVC and Clang default to the version of
platform SDK (that is, maximum supported). MinGW defaults to Windows XP, so
this definition must be either in <rte_os.h> before #include <windows.h> or
here. Because other files may include <windows.h>, I'd prefer to have a
global definition via compiler command-line.

Indeed, it does add a pthread implementation DLL, I even documented it. It
presents no technical or legal trouble though.

> Now the question is to know which one is the easiest to use?

The issues are a few (almost all in this message), after they are resolved,
there is no significant difference. With MinGW, more things work out of the
box. It also allows for immediate cross-compilation from Linux, which is
important while Windows drivers are unstable and can crash the system hard.

> If I understand well, MinGW brings the missing parts we are trying
> to add in the DPDK repository for compliance with POSIX libraries.

Yes, having pthread implementation out-of-the-box helps with porting EAL.
Clang can use external pthread, e. g. winpthreads [0] (not to be confused with
winpthread without S). MinGW doesn't aim to provide POSIX support, it only
brings the parts required for GCC toolchain.

Clang has structure alignment issue, which is a show-stopper for rte_mbuf,
because its carefully crafted layout is broken and becomes 3 cache-lines
instead of two:

    https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24383

For GCC, there is a way force rte_mbuf layout:

    https://github.com/PlushBeaver/dpdk/commit/37f052cb18d1d5d425818196d5e1d15a7ada0de0

GCC, in its turn, has an AVX bug, although it can be worked around by
force-inlining functions in rte_acl (as I did):

    https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54412

OK, thanks.
Please reword the comment with something like

Hi Dmitry, 

Thanks for the patches! I was able to compile and run natively, after applying the Meson patch that you mentioned.

I'm having some trouble with cross-compilation:

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/6] MinGW-w64 support

This patch series add support for building DPDK using MinGW-w64.

MinGW-w64 provides GNU toolchain and independent platform SDK on Windows. It also supports cross-compilation to Windows from POSIX systems by providing cross tollchains and libraries [0]. It does NOT emulate a full POSIX environment, like Cygwin or MSYS do.

There are advantages in using MinGW-w64 in addition to Clang:

1. Cross-compilation out-of-the-box. MinGW-w64 is provides a pthread
   implementation, GNU getopt, and Windows platform SDK.

2. Easier porting of POSIX applications using DPDK to Windows, because
   application code can use the same benefits as mentioned above.

3. Having both primary compilers enabled on Windows provides more
   diagnostics and generally prevents non-portable code.

Thanks a lot for all these valuable informations.

I think the strategy should be to progress on both GCC and Clang
at the same time.

Please Dmitry, would you like to review Pallavi's patches
in order to make them coexist with yours?

Use Meson 0.52, version 0.53 introduced this regression among others:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/6431
DPDK CI also has Meson version pinned to 0.52, see
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-January/154357.html
I find it handy to switch Meson versions via pip3.

Here's Meson 0.52 output:

As you can see, it correctly picks up CC and LD for host machine, unlike 0.53.

Err, we decided to pin to 0.47.1 as it is the documented minimal
supported version.
http://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/20200108110251.20916-1-david.marchand@redhat.com/

So the CI is stuck to the 0.47.1 version, not 0.52.
Do you need something from a newer meson for Windows support? That
would have to be documented.

For this, as an alternative to putting it as a project argument, you can just
add it to dpdk_conf which means it will end up as a define in the global
rte_build_config.h and so be directly included in each compilation unit
ahead of any other headers. (rte_config.h includes rte_build_config.h)

Can you please explain why using dpdk_conf is a better alternative? In
lib/meson.build I can see add_project_arguments('_D_GNU_SOURCE', ...), which
serves a similar purpose on POSIX systems. Compiler option also makes it
impossible to forget or redefine this constant in code by mistake.

My bad, can't tell why I decided that 0.52 was pinned. I verified building
with Meson 0.47.1, both cross and native, and it works well.

No worries, I also cross-compiled using both 0.47.1 and 0.52.0. I was able to generate the helloworld executable and ran it successfully. Thanks!

I did have to apply your patch "eal/windows: refine public interface" before applying the "MinGW-w64 support" patch set, to avoid the errors caused by including "Windows.h" in rte_os.h. So, I guess this patch needs to come first and then the patchset for mingw can be applied.

The cause of the error you've encountered is case-dependent Linux filesystem.
Existing code includes <Windows.h> (capital W), but MinGW-w64 on Linux
packages <windows.h> (lowercase W). I missed it because Windows.h is manually
symlinked to windows.h on my system. Same goes for <BaseTsd.h>.

Thanks for pointing this out, I think it's more appropriate to change
filename case in this patchset v2, because the need for this change is caused
by adding MinGW cross-compilation capability.

I'm not necessarily saying it's better, it's just an alternative to
consider. :-) Having it in rte_config.h makes the define available to any
external apps using DPDK, which may or may not be desirable.

It's certainly *not* desirable, apps usually have this value
consciously and explicitly defined on their own, and it may differ from the
one required to compile DPDK. Thanks for the tip, but as I hope you can see,
it should stay a project argument.

> I think the strategy should be to progress on both GCC and Clang
> at the same time.

Remembered another issue: thread-local storage (TLS) with shared libraries.
Windows PE doesn't support TLS via special sections, so compilers use TLS
emulation layer. With static libraries, there are no issues described below.

The first aspect is a build-time issue of MinGW. When linking to DPDK shared
libraries, errors occur:

	undefined reference to `__emutls_v.per_lcore__rte_errno'
	undefined reference to `__emutls_v.per_lcore__rte_lcore_id'

DPDK declares per_lcore__XXX in a map file, but GCC places __thread symbols
in __emutls_v section, so the proper name to export becomes __emutls_v.XXX.
This can be worked around by using an additional version script with MinGW,
as I do in my port [0], however, the proper solution would be fixing the bug
on MinGW side [1]. MinGW already converts TLS variable names when generating
DEF files with `-Wl,--output-def` option (not used by DPDK, just a hint).

The second aspect is performance. Per [2], Win32 API TLS functions are ~10%
slower than non-emulated access on Linux, and MinGW emulation layer slows
access by another 20% (30% total). Clang emulation code is similar to
MinGW's [3], although I wasn't able to find any benchmarks. As a DPDK user, I
know that rte_lcore_id() is heavily used on the data-path, so this is severe.
My opinion is, for the first time Windows port should use whatever TLS
implementation the compiler provides, then attempt optimization. It should be
possible, because we don't need a general-purpose TLS, but only TLS for EAL
threads.

Done. There are no logical conflicts, if code conflicts occur after merging
Pallivi's patchset, I'll resolve them before sending v3.

Did some research and AFAICT, there is not effortless solution for
efficient per-lcore variables on Windows. While MinGW-w64 has aforementioned
issues (actually, GCC on Windows does), Clang with default TLS options just
generates wrong results when exporting variables from dynamic libraries.
Demo: https://github.com/PlushBeaver/tlstest

Thread [0] claims this is a fundamental problem with PE-COFF executable
format, but I honestly lack expertise to tell if this is valid. Microsoft
docs [1] suggests that exporting __thread variables won't just work. Can
someone from Microsoft or from UNH Lab comment further?

Hi,

We didn't get a confirmation from Microsoft about the TLS problem.
Please could we have a status?

Should we mark shared library linkage as not supported in Windows DPDK?
Is there a difference between clang and MinGW?
