> This series contains performance improvements and new statistics-
> related functionality for the EAL service cores framework.
> 
> A new per-lcore TSC cycle counter is introduced, which reflect the
> total amount of cycles spent by that lcore running services. This may
> be used to estimate service lcore load.
> 
> The patchset introduces a backward-compatible convention, where a DPDK
> service may signal to the framework that no useful work was performed,
> which in turn is used to make the busy cycles statistics more
> accurate.
> 
> Depends-on: series-23959 ("test/service: add perf measurements for with
> stats mode ")
> 
> Mattias Rönnblom (6):
>   service: reduce statistics overhead for parallel services
>   service: introduce per-lcore cycles counter
>   service: reduce average case service core overhead
>   service: tweak cycle statistics semantics
>   event/sw: report idle when no work is performed
>   service: provide links to functions in documentation

In case it wasn't noticed with v1 of the patch series...
