This patch set adds the RegEx class, which enables RegEx pattern matching, both on HW/SW PMDs.
Example for applications that will benefit from this class: * Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) * Deep Packet and Flow Inspection (DPI) * Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) * DDoS Mitigation * Network Monitoring * Data Loss Prevention (DLP) * Smart NICs * Grammar based content processing * URL, spam and adware filtering * Advanced auditing and policing of user/application security policies * Financial data mining - parsing of streamed financial feeds * Application recognition. * Dmemory introspection. * Natural Language Processing (NLP) * Sentiment Analysis. * Big data databse acceleration. * Computational storage. This patch set is based on RFC[1] This class should be merged only after there is at least one PMD that implements it. Also the test application will be added when the first PMD is added.
