This is fix for GCC 4.4.7.
flag "-fstrict-aliasing" is default for optimalisation above -O0.

Fixes: 2b039d5f20a3 ("net: fix build with gcc 4.4.7 and strict aliasing")

This error fix this situation for IPv6 checksum offload error on RHEL65
Any optimalisation above -O0 provide error in IPv6 checksum


Step 1 : start testpmd
./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c 0x6 -n 4  -- -i --portmask=0x3 --disable-hw-vlan --enable-rx-cksum --crc-strip --txqflags=0

Step 2 : settings and start
           set verbose 1
           set fwd csum
           start

Step 3 : calculate correct checksum values of IPv6/TCP and IPv6/UDP by scapy
           Packets info:  IPv6/UDP:Ether(dst="02:00:00:00:00:00", src="90:e2:ba:4a:33:5c")/IPv6(src="::2")/UDP()/("X"*46)
                          IPv6/TCP:  Ether(src="52:00:00:00:00:00", dst="90:e2:ba:4a:33:5d")/IPv6(src="::1")/TCP()/("X"*46)

Step 4 : Send two packets with wrong checksum value,and calculate the right checksum value by port,packets received on another port
           Send packets info: IPv6/UDP:Ether(dst="90:e2:ba:4a:33:5d", src="52:00:00:00:00:00")/IPv6(src="::1")/UDP(chksum=0xf)/("X"*46)
                              IPv6/TCP:Ether(dst="90:e2:ba:4a:33:5d", src="52:00:00:00:00:00")/IPv6(src="::1")/TCP(chksum=0xf)/("X"*46)

RESULTS:
'IPv6/TCP': ['0xd41']}, 'IPv6/UDP': ['0x7d07'],

EXPECTED RESULTS:
'IPv6/TCP': ['0x9f5e']}, 'IPv6/UDP': ['0xf26']

Hi Daniel,

this sort of detail - perhaps in abbreviated form - should be in the commit
message for the patch. Can you perhaps do a V2 to include it?

This fix is for IPv6 checksum offload error on RHEL65.
Any optimalisation above -O0 provide error in IPv6 checksum
flag "-fstrict-aliasing" is default for optimalisation above -O0.
The solution is to add typedef with __attribute__((__may_alias__) for uint16_t.

Step 1 : start testpmd
./testpmd -c 0x6 -n 4  -- -i --portmask=0x3 --disable-hw-vlan --enable-rx-cksum --crc-strip --txqflags=0

Step 2 : settings and start
           set verbose 1
           set fwd csum
           start

Step 3 : send scapy with bad checksum IPv6/TCP packet
        Ether(src="52:00:00:00:00:00", dst="90:e2:ba:4a:33:5d")/IPv6(src="::1")/TCP(chksum=0xf)/("X"*46)

Step 4 : Recieved packets:
RESULTS:
IPv6/TCP': ['0xd41'] or other unexpected.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
IPv6/TCP': ['0x9f5e']

Hi Daniel,
So for my own curiosity: what went wrong here?
Did compiler avoid to generate a code for while {} loop?
Or something else?
BTW, it is an internal function, so instead of introducing new typedef,
we can just change the type of buf?
Let say to uint8_t *?
>From gcc manual page: "  A character type may alias any other type."
Would that work?

An alternative way of fixing it (without resorting to attributes) would
be to use a union.

If we change input buf:
xapp-gcc/include/rte_ip.h:211: error: dereferencing pointer 'u16' does break strict-aliasing rules
/root/dpdk/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/include/rte_ip.h:204: note: initialized from here

/root/dpdk/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/include/rte_ip.h:214: note: initialized from here

The change was pointed  out by Michael Qiu in patch: 2b039d5f20a34016ecaf9b26f8f8b6c4a81bf4b6

We can only cast void to uint8 but it would involve big endian/ little endian macros:

static inline uint32_t __attribute__((__may_alias__))
__rte_raw_cksum(const void *buf, size_t len, uint32_t sum)
{
	/* workaround gcc strict-aliasing warning */
	const uint8_t *u8 = ((const uint8_t *)buf);
	while (len >= (sizeof(*u8) * 8)) {
		sum += *(u8+1) << 8 | *(u8);
		sum += *(u8+3) << 8 | *(u8+2);
		sum += *(u8+5) << 8 | *(u8+4);
		sum += *(u8+7) << 8 | *(u8+6);

		len -= sizeof(*u8) * 8;
		u8 += 8;
	}

	while (len >= 2*sizeof(*u8)) {
		sum += *u8 << 8 | *(u8+1);
		len -= 2*sizeof(*u8);
		u8 += 2;
	}

	/* if length is in odd bytes */
	if (len == 1)
		sum += *((const uint8_t *)u8);

	return sum;
}

I will research about this union usage suggested by Stephen, but for this moment  local typedef & __attribute__((__may_alias__)) is the most clean solution which work under gcc(4.4.7), clang, icc.
