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.

Functional verification done using meson tests. fast-tests suite passing with
the default config.

PMD verification done using a Intel x520-DA2 NIC (ixgbe) and the test-pmd
application. Packet transfer checked using all UIO drivers available for
non-IOMMU platforms: uio_pci_generic, vfio-pci noiommu and igb_uio.

The i40e PMD driver is disabled on RISC-V as the rv64gc ISA has no vector
operations.

RISCV support is currently limited to Linux as the time measurement frequency
discovery is tied to reading a device-tree node via procfs.

Clang compilation currently not supported due to issues with missing relocation
relaxation.

Commit 1 introduces EAL and build system support for RISC-V architecture
   as well as documentation updates.
Commits 2-5 add missing defines and stubs to enable RISC-V operation in
   non-EAL parts.
Commit 6 adds RISC-V specific cpuflags test.
Commits 7-8 add RISC-V build testing to test-meson-builds.sh and github CI.

I appreciate Your comments and feedback.

Best Regards,
Stanislaw Kardach

v4:
  - Update RISC-V cross-compilation docs to remove vendor-specific instructions
    and better match the Ubuntu environment.
  - Remove optional "fence" removal in the CYCLE and TIME counter reads as
    those are irrelevant compared to the cost of a firmware call that allowed
    such removal. The per-platform build-configuration is left in meson files
    for setting '-mtune' and reference for future platforms.
  - Update cross-files to specify PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR instead of relying on the
    riscv64-linux-gnu-pkg-config wrapper which was removed from Ubuntu anyway.
    Also use sys_root properly instead of using c_args directly.
  - Note: rte_rdtsc handling is left as it was in v3: TIME counter default,
    CYCLE via compile-time option. This is mostly due to CYCLE being core-local
    with values differing among cores which causes timer_autotest to run overly
    long if it so happens that CYCLE on core 0 is ahead of other cores' CYCLEs.
    This makes TIME counter more stable for general usage. Since CYCLE read in
    userspace can be disabled by the kernel-mode (it isn't currently), the
    compile-time approach is taken, same as with Aarch64.
  - Added details on --no-huge tests failing in the known_issues.rst.
  - Additional notes on tests:
    - link_bonding_mode4_autotest succeeds and then dpdk-test fails with
      segmentation fault randomly when run directly (via DPDK_TEST env
      variable) with MALLOC_PERTURB_. This was not noticed in any other test
      suggesting that there is a race condition somewhere in the link_bonding
      PMD that leads to use-after-free (since MALLOC_PERTURB_ causes free() to
      re-initialize freed memory to a given value).
    - ipsec_perf_autotest currently does not check whether there is any crypto
      device available (as ipsec_autotest does) and therefore fails.
v3:
  - Limit test-meson-builds.sh testing to a generic rv64gc configuration.
    Previous version was missing this change by mistake.
v2:
  - Separate bug-fixes into separate series.
  - Prevent RV64_CSRR leak to API users.
  - Limit test-meson-builds.sh testing to a generic rv64gc configuration.
  - Clean-up release notes and fix style issues.
