[PATCH 00/11] Introduce support for RISC-V architecture

[Stanislaw Kardach <kda@semihalf.com>]

This patchset adds support for building and running DPDK on 64bit RISC-V
architecture. The initial support targets rv64gc (rv64imafdc) ISA and
was tested on SiFive Unmatched development board with the Freedom U740
SoC running Linux (freedom-u-sdk based kernel).
I have tested this codebase using DPDK unit and perf tests as well as
test-pmd, l2fwd and l3fwd examples.
The NIC attached to the DUT was Intel X520-DA2 which uses ixgbe PMD.
On the UIO side, since U740 does not have an IOMMU, I've used igb_uio,
uio_pci_generic and vfio-pci noiommu drivers.

Commits 1-2 fix small issues which are encountered if a given platform
   does not support any vector operations (which is the case with U740).
Commit 3 introduces EAL and build system support for RISC-V architecture
   as well as documentation updates.
Commits 4-7 add missing defines and stubs to enable RISC-V operation in
   non-EAL parts.
Commit 8 adds RISC-V specific cpuflags test.
Commit 9 works around a bug in the current GCC in test_ring compiled
   with -O0 or -Og.
Commit 10 adds RISC-V testing to test-meson-builds.sh automatically
   iterating over cross-compile config files (currently present for
   generic rv64gc and SiFive U740).
Commit 11 extends hash r/w perf test by displaying both HTM and non-HTM
   measurements. This is an extraneous commit which is not directly
   needed for RISC-V support but was noticed when we have started
   gathering test results. If needed, I can submit it separately.

I appreciate Your comments and feedback.

Best Regards,
Stanislaw Kardach

NOTE: This work was sponsored by StarFive and SiFive which is signified by
   "Sponsored-by:" sign-offs in each commit message. After discussing it
   with Thomas Monjalon it seemed a better choice than "Suggested-by" which
   does not fully convey the nature of involvement. However it makes
   Linux checkpatch unhappy so I'm not sure if I shouldn't change the
   sign-offs.

NOTE2: I have added maintainers for each commit based on MAINTAINERS file.
   However some modules (l3fwd, net/tap and cpuflags unit tests) do not have
   any maintainers assigned, hence I've targeted dev@dpdk.org mailing list as
   if it was a commit adding new files.
