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 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.

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. .ci/linux-build.sh | 4 + .github/workflows/build.yml | 11 +- MAINTAINERS | 6 + app/test/test_cpuflags.c | 81 ++++++++++ app/test/test_xmmt_ops.h | 16 ++ config/meson.build | 2 + config/riscv/meson.build | 143 ++++++++++++++++++ config/riscv/riscv64_linux_gcc | 17 +++ config/riscv/riscv64_sifive_u740_linux_gcc | 19 +++ devtools/test-meson-builds.sh | 6 + doc/guides/contributing/design.rst | 2 +- .../linux_gsg/cross_build_dpdk_for_riscv.rst | 125 +++++++++++++++ doc/guides/linux_gsg/index.rst | 1 + doc/guides/nics/features.rst | 5 + doc/guides/nics/features/default.ini | 1 + doc/guides/nics/features/ixgbe.ini | 1 + doc/guides/rel_notes/release_22_07.rst | 8 + drivers/net/i40e/meson.build | 6 + drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_rxtx.c | 4 +- drivers/net/memif/rte_eth_memif.h | 2 + drivers/net/tap/tap_bpf.h | 2 + examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_em.c | 8 + examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_fib.c | 2 + lib/eal/riscv/include/meson.build | 23 +++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_atomic.h | 52 +++++++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_byteorder.h | 44 ++++++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_cpuflags.h | 55 +++++++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_cycles.h | 105 +++++++++++++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_io.h | 21 +++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_mcslock.h | 18 +++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_memcpy.h | 63 ++++++++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_pause.h | 31 ++++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_pflock.h | 17 +++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_power_intrinsics.h | 22 +++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_prefetch.h | 50 ++++++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_rwlock.h | 44 ++++++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_spinlock.h | 67 ++++++++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_ticketlock.h | 21 +++ lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_vect.h | 55 +++++++ lib/eal/riscv/meson.build | 11 ++ lib/eal/riscv/rte_cpuflags.c | 122 +++++++++++++++ lib/eal/riscv/rte_cycles.c | 77 ++++++++++ lib/eal/riscv/rte_hypervisor.c | 13 ++ lib/eal/riscv/rte_power_intrinsics.c | 56 +++++++ meson.build | 2 + 45 files changed, 1437 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 config/riscv/meson.build create mode 100644 config/riscv/riscv64_linux_gcc create mode 100644 config/riscv/riscv64_sifive_u740_linux_gcc create mode 100644 doc/guides/linux_gsg/cross_build_dpdk_for_riscv.rst create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/meson.build create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_atomic.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_byteorder.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_cpuflags.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_cycles.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_io.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_mcslock.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_memcpy.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_pause.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_pflock.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_power_intrinsics.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_prefetch.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_rwlock.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_spinlock.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_ticketlock.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/include/rte_vect.h create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/meson.build create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/rte_cpuflags.c create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/rte_cycles.c create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/rte_hypervisor.c create mode 100644 lib/eal/riscv/rte_power_intrinsics.c -- 2.30.2
