Re: [vpp-dev] SPAN feature backport

[Harish Patil]

Hi Damjan,

Thanks for the response and your suggestions.
Yes I too noticed that buffer clone API like vlib_buffer_copy() is missing.
Let me check if there is a way out to move to newer VPP in our project.
Shall get back if we have more questions.

Thanks,
Harish

Re: [vpp-dev] SPAN feature backport

[Damjan Marion]

That's pretty bad idea. Beside feature arcs, SPAN is also using buffer cloning 
which is introduced post 16.06.

16.06 is very old release, not maintained, strongly suggest to move to new 
version...

[vpp-dev] SPAN feature backport

[Harish Patil]

Hi,

I are currently using VPP 16.06 release.
We would like to enable SPAN feature (port mirroring) in 16.06, but it is
available only in VPP 17.01 release and above. It seems SPAN module depends
on vnet feature arc (vnet/feature/).
So my question is can we bypass vnet feature arc using some workaround and
backport it into 16.06? If so, how easy or difficult would be that?
Are there any other alternates besides upgrading VPP?

Thanks,

Harish

Re: [vpp-dev] How to disable assert in VPP

[Dave Barach via Lists.Fd.Io]

As you’ve seen, ASSERTs are not compiled into production images. There are far 
too many of them to simply change the macro in CLIB_DEBUG=0 images and expect 
anything like acceptable performance.

I would guess it’s at least a 50% hit. A -g -O0 (TAG=vpp_debug) image is often 
an order-of-magnitude slower than a production image for a given use-case.

When I decide that an error condition warrants checking in production images, I 
generally use a clib_warning(...); abort(); pair.

There’s no point in submitting a patch which changes the ASSERT macro, it will 
not be merged.

Re: [EXTERNAL] [vpp-dev] How to disable assert in VPP

[Chris Luke]

You can provide your own ASSERT mechanism in vppinfra/error_bootstrap.h

As is typical, we do not compile ASSERTs for non-debug builds. They add a 
measurable overhead and peak forwarding performance will be impacted.

Chris.

Re: [EXTERNAL] [vpp-dev] VPP & CPU

[Chris Luke]

Since those are all Intel platforms and you propose building on an Intel 
platform, just build and use it as-is. If you're not modifying anything just 
use the packages we produce.

Most of the performance critical places that make use of CPU optimizations do 
some magic to build more than one version of a function with different CPU 
optimizations and then select the correct version when the runtime linker loads 
the binary. That means we need not worry about cross-compiling for specific 
optimizations within an architecture.

Re: [vpp-dev] Integration with libbacktrace

[Kingwel Xie]

Done patch:

https://gerrit.fd.io/r/13070

1. make use of glic backtrace in execinfo.h. the old clib_backtrace is changed 
to clib_backtrace_no_good
   the old one is using __builtin_frame_address which can not retrieve stack 
trace in release version (don’t know why)
2. install SIGABRT in signal handler, but have to remove it when backtrace is 
done
   reason is we want to capture stack trace caused by SIGABRT. vPP ASSERT 
always call os_exit then abort()
   we definitely want to know the trace of this situation. It is a little 
tricky to avoid SIGABRT infinite loop
3. A text log file will be generated as well as the output to stderr. we'd like 
to have a simple file to trace the crash
   this file generation can be removed if vPP thinks it is not suitable
4. always load symbols by calling   clib_elf_main_init () in main(). Otherwise, 
only addresses can be displayed.

In the end, this is what we got:

Hi,

Finally I removed libbacktrace dependency, but to use glibc 'backtrace' which 
can be found in execinfo.h.

The generated crashdump will look like below. I can create a patch if you think 
it is valuable.
