For Arm aarch, use WFE instructions to enable PMD power management. Test Results: dynamic instructions over 1sec without wfe with wfe percentage ampere-altra 6,298,483,712 9,117,624 -99.855% thunderx2 6,990,909,373 3,247,226 -99.954%
When power efficient PMD is enabled by using WFE on Arm, if no pkts received, the instructions that CPU executes is reduced by 99%. V2: 1. move rte_wake_up API out of signal_exit(David Marchand, Thomas, Stephen) 2. Add test results when using wfe on ARM server v3: 1. make code cleaner (Stephen) Feifei Wang (3): eal: add 8 bits case for wait scheme eal: add power mgmt support on Arm examples/l3fwd-power: enable PMD power monitor on Arm examples/l3fwd-power/main.c | 25 +++++++++++ lib/eal/arm/include/rte_pause_64.h | 32 +++++++++++-- lib/eal/arm/rte_cpuflags.c | 5 +++ lib/eal/arm/rte_power_intrinsics.c | 72 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 127 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) -- 2.25.1
