[PATCH v3 0/8] Introduce support for RISC-V architecture

[Stanislaw Kardach]

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

v3:
  - Limit test-meson-builds.sh testing to a generic rv64gc configuration.
    Previous version was missing this change by mistake.
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.

Stanislaw Kardach (6):
  net/ixgbe: enable vector stubs for RISC-V
  net/memif: set memfd syscall ID on RISC-V
  net/tap: set BPF syscall ID for RISC-V
  examples/l3fwd: enable RISC-V operation
  devtools: add RISC-V to test-meson-builds.sh
  ci: add RISCV64 cross compilation job

NOTE: I have added maintainers for each commit based on MAINTAINERS file.
   However some modules (l3fwd, net/tap and cpuflags unit tests) do not have
   any maintainers assigned, hence I've targeted dev at dpdk.org mailing list as
   if it was a commit adding new files.
