[PATCH 3/9] pipeline: rework the specification file-based pipeline build

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Rework the specification file-based pipeline build operation to first
parse the specification file into the previously introduced pipeline
specification data structure, then use this structure to configure
and build the pipeline.

[PATCH 5/9] pipeline: add API for pipeline code generation

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Previously, the C code generation for the pipeline was hidden under
the hood; now, we make this an explicit API operation. Besides the
functions for the pipeline actions and the pipeline instructions,
the generated C source code now includes the pipeline specification
structure required for the pipeline configuration operations.

[PATCH 6/9] pipeline: add API for shared library-based pipeline build

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Previously, the pipeline build operation was done based on the
specification file (typically produced by the P4 compiler), then the C
code with optimized functions for the pipeline actions and
instructions was generated, built into a shared object library, loaded
and installed into the pipeline in a completely hardcoded and
non-customizable way.

Now, this process is split into three explicit stages:
i) code generation (specification file -> C file);
ii) code build (C file -> shared object library);
iii) code installation (library load into the pipeline).

[PATCH V2 3/9] pipeline: rework the specification file-based pipeline build

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Rework the specification file-based pipeline build operation to first
parse the specification file into the previously introduced pipeline
specification data structure, then use this structure to configure
and build the pipeline.

[PATCH V2 5/9] pipeline: add API for pipeline code generation

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Previously, the C code generation for the pipeline was hidden under
the hood; now, we make this an explicit API operation. Besides the
functions for the pipeline actions and the pipeline instructions,
the generated C source code now includes the pipeline specification
structure required for the pipeline configuration operations.

[PATCH V2 6/9] pipeline: add API for shared library-based pipeline build

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Previously, the pipeline build operation was done based on the
specification file (typically produced by the P4 compiler), then the C
code with optimized functions for the pipeline actions and
instructions was generated, built into a shared object library, loaded
and installed into the pipeline in a completely hardcoded and
non-customizable way.

Now, this process is split into three explicit stages:
i) code generation (specification file -> C file);
ii) code build (C file -> shared object library);
iii) code installation (library load into the pipeline).

maintain a list of the existing pipeline objects, which can be
queried by the application.

[PATCH V3 04/17] pipeline: rework the specification file-based pipeline build

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Rework the specification file-based pipeline build operation to first
parse the specification file into the previously introduced pipeline
specification data structure, then use this structure to configure
and build the pipeline.

[PATCH V3 07/17] pipeline: add API for pipeline code generation

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Previously, the C code generation for the pipeline was hidden under
the hood; now, we make this an explicit API operation. Besides the
functions for the pipeline actions and the pipeline instructions,
the generated C source code now includes the pipeline specification
structure required for the pipeline configuration operations.

[PATCH V3 08/17] pipeline: add API for shared library-based pipeline build

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Previously, the pipeline build operation was done based on the
specification file (typically produced by the P4 compiler), then the C
code with optimized functions for the pipeline actions and
instructions was generated, built into a shared object library, loaded
and installed into the pipeline in a completely hardcoded and
non-customizable way.

Now, this process is split into three explicit stages:
i) code generation (specification file -> C file);
ii) code build (C file -> shared object library);
iii) code installation (library load into the pipeline).

[PATCH V3 15/17] examples/pipeline: rework the link CLI command

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

maintain a list of the existing pipeline objects, which can be
queried by the application.

[PATCH V4 04/17] pipeline: rework the specification file-based pipeline build

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Rework the specification file-based pipeline build operation to first
parse the specification file into the previously introduced pipeline
specification data structure, then use this structure to configure
and build the pipeline.

[PATCH V4 07/17] pipeline: add API for pipeline code generation

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Previously, the C code generation for the pipeline was hidden under
the hood; now, we make this an explicit API operation. Besides the
functions for the pipeline actions and the pipeline instructions,
the generated C source code now includes the pipeline specification
structure required for the pipeline configuration operations.

[PATCH V4 08/17] pipeline: add API for shared library-based pipeline build

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Previously, the pipeline build operation was done based on the
specification file (typically produced by the P4 compiler), then the C
code with optimized functions for the pipeline actions and
instructions was generated, built into a shared object library, loaded
and installed into the pipeline in a completely hardcoded and
non-customizable way.

Now, this process is split into three explicit stages:
i) code generation (specification file -> C file);
ii) code build (C file -> shared object library);
iii) code installation (library load into the pipeline).

[PATCH V4 15/17] examples/pipeline: rework the link CLI command

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Rework the link CLI command for better alignment with the naming
conventions used in the pipeline I/O specification file. Use the
library linked list of devices and remove the application list.

[PATCH V5 04/17] pipeline: rework the specification file-based pipeline build

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Rework the specification file-based pipeline build operation to first
parse the specification file into the previously introduced pipeline
specification data structure, then use this structure to configure
and build the pipeline.

[PATCH V5 07/17] pipeline: add API for pipeline code generation

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Previously, the C code generation for the pipeline was hidden under
the hood; now, we make this an explicit API operation. Besides the
functions for the pipeline actions and the pipeline instructions,
the generated C source code now includes the pipeline specification
structure required for the pipeline configuration operations.

[PATCH V5 08/17] pipeline: add API for shared library-based pipeline build

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Previously, the pipeline build operation was done based on the
specification file (typically produced by the P4 compiler), then the C
code with optimized functions for the pipeline actions and
instructions was generated, built into a shared object library, loaded
and installed into the pipeline in a completely hardcoded and
non-customizable way.

Now, this process is split into three explicit stages:
i) code generation (specification file -> C file);
ii) code build (C file -> shared object library);
iii) code installation (library load into the pipeline).

[PATCH V5 15/17] examples/pipeline: rework the link CLI command

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Rework the link CLI command for better alignment with the naming
conventions used in the pipeline I/O specification file. Use the
library linked list of devices and remove the application list.

I really think this patchset could do with a cover letter. Since you are
now on v5, it would be nice to have a cover-letter where the differences
between each of the patch versions are called out. A cover-letter is also
nice to outline the overall scope of the changes rather than asking
reviewers to go through the set patch by patch to see what is in there.

Thanks,
/Bruce

[PATCH V6 00/17] pipeline: pipeline configuration and build improvements

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

The sequence of steps to build a SWX pipeline object are:

1. Create the specification file (pipeline.p4 -> pipeline.spec): This text file represents the
   pipeline program that is typically generated by the P4 compiler or sometimes manually created.

2. Generate the C source code file (pipeline.spec -> pipeline.c): The C file contains a C function
   for every pipeline action and several C functions for the pipeline main program. It allows the C
   compiler to generate optimized code by having access to the entire pipeline program rather than
   using the small pre-build functions corresponding to the individual instructions

3. Build the shared object library (pipeline.c -> pipeline.o -> pipeline.so).

4. Load the shared object library (pipeline.so): At initialization, the pipeline object is “patched”
   with the optimized C functions from the shared object library.

Previously, steps 2., 3. and 4. were implemented under the hood by the pipeline library at the
initialization time in a completely hard-coded and non-customizable way. The user was not able to
select the C compiler (GCC was assumed), the compiler version, the build flags, the file locations,
etc. The code generation (step 2.) and library build (step 3.) were done on-the-fly at init and
could potentially fail for many setup related reasons.

Now, this process is no longer done under the hood by the pipeline library and the individual steps
are explicitly supported by the API functions. The code generation (step 2.) is done off-line at any
time before the pipeline execution. The library build (step 3.) is also done off-line and is now
fully customizable by the user, who is able to gracefully access the generated C code and decide on
the various build options.

We also take the opportunity to streamline the pipeline I/O port configuration by introducing an I/O
specification file. Essentially, the pipeline is now configured and build based on two files:

a) The shared object library file (pipeline.so): It defines how the packets are processed by the
   program through tables and actions; the same P4 program can be executed by many pipelines.

b) The I/O specification file (pipeline.io): High level text file defining how the packets are
   received and transmitted by the pipeline; this is not part of the P4 program, which is completely
   agnostic about the pipeline I/O ports. This is defined differently for each pipeline object when
   initialized.

Change log:

V6:
-Added the cover letter. No code changes.

V5:
-Fixed more style issues reported by the CI/CD.

V4:
-Fixed style issues reported by the CI/CD.

V3:
-Added support for the pipeline I/O specification file.

V2:
-Fixed style issues reported by the CI/CD.

[PATCH V6 04/17] pipeline: rework the specification file-based pipeline build

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Rework the specification file-based pipeline build operation to first
parse the specification file into the previously introduced pipeline
specification data structure, then use this structure to configure
and build the pipeline.

[PATCH V6 07/17] pipeline: add API for pipeline code generation

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Previously, the C code generation for the pipeline was hidden under
the hood; now, we make this an explicit API operation. Besides the
functions for the pipeline actions and the pipeline instructions,
the generated C source code now includes the pipeline specification
structure required for the pipeline configuration operations.

[PATCH V6 08/17] pipeline: add API for shared library-based pipeline build

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Previously, the pipeline build operation was done based on the
specification file (typically produced by the P4 compiler), then the C
code with optimized functions for the pipeline actions and
instructions was generated, built into a shared object library, loaded
and installed into the pipeline in a completely hardcoded and
non-customizable way.

Now, this process is split into three explicit stages:
i) code generation (specification file -> C file);
ii) code build (C file -> shared object library);
iii) code installation (library load into the pipeline).

[PATCH V6 15/17] examples/pipeline: rework the link CLI command

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Rework the link CLI command for better alignment with the naming

Series applied, thanks.
