[PATCH v1] app/testpmd: add bitrate stats option

[Remy Horton]

Bit-rate collation should only be done by one core. This patch adds
an option to select which core performs the bit-rate calculation,
which is also disabled by default.

Fixes: 7e4441c8efb9 ("app/testpmd: add bitrate statistics calculation")

Hi Remy,
Have a small suggestion here.
Since testpmd uses new libraries of librte_latencystats and
librte_bitratestats it hurts packet processing performance.
Many users who use testpmd to do the initial performance benchmarks may
not be aware of such a feature is default enabled.
So can we disable this feature by default in the config?
·         CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BITRATE=n
·         CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_LATENCY_STATS=n
Only those folks interested in latency/jitter measurements can recompile
with those configs enabled.
Thanks.

Yes, the default config of testpmd must give good performance.

I disagree about compile-time options.
It should be a run-time option of testpmd.

Please Remy (or others),
disable the metrics in the default configuration of testpmd,
before the 17.05 release.
You have few days, it is urgent.

Bitrate stats are disabled by default, in testpmd.
I assume that the code that you want to avoid is:

                for (sm_id = 0; sm_id < nb_fs; sm_id++)
                        (*pkt_fwd)(fsm[sm_id]);
#ifdef RTE_LIBRTE_BITRATE
                if (bitrate_enabled != 0 &&
                                bitrate_lcore_id == rte_lcore_id()) {
                        tics_current = rte_rdtsc();
                        if (tics_current - tics_datum >= tics_per_1sec) {

Unless --bitrate-stats is used, bitrate_enabled = 0, so all this code won't be run.

I can send a patch to check the latencystats_enabled flag first, following the approach above, here:

#ifdef RTE_LIBRTE_LATENCY_STATS
                if (latencystats_lcore_id == rte_lcore_id())


Thanks,
Pablo
