[PATCH v4 0/4] compatibility fallback and replacement of kernel function invoking

[PATCH v4 0/4] compatibility fallback and replacement of kernel function invoking

[Jincheng Miao]

The related kernel function is:
- pci_num_vf, it is introduced from upstream linux-2.6.34. For RHEL-based
kernel, it is defined from RHEL5.9.

- kstrtoul, this function is united kernel API to replace strict_strtoul in
the furture. It is introduced from linux-2.6.39. For RHEL6, it is defined
from RHEL6.4.

This patchset do some compatiblity work for these two functions, and
replace strict_strtoul which is depleted from linux-3.18.

Some test results for dpdk-1.8.0-rc3 with this patchset:
1. In RHEL7 GA: Build success after specify -mssse3 to CFLAGS,
```
CC ixgbe_rxtx_vec.o
In file included from /root/dpdk-source/lib/librte_pmd_ixgbe/ixgbe_rxtx_vec.c:41:0:

# error "SSSE3 instruction set not enabled"
```
  - for igb_uio, pass
  - for kni, pass
  - for xen_dom0, pass


2. In RHEL6.5 : Build fails for kni, and xen_dom0:
  - for igb_uio: pass
  - for kni: fail, the log is:
```

```
  - for xen_dom0: fail, seems xen is not offical supported in RHEL6.

v4:
  Indent for patches.
  Include compat.h for kni_vhost.c

v3:
  Adjust pci_num_vf() introduced RHEL version number.
  Seperate "replace strict_strtoul with kstrtoul" into 3 patches for igb_uio,
kni, and xen_dom0. Add compat.h in kni and xen_dom0 for compatible with
older kernels.

v2:
  Merge these two patch in one patchset.
  Compatible with old kernel for kstrtoul.
  Compatible with RHEL6 for pci_num_vf.

[PATCH v4 1/4] igb_uio: compatible with upstream longterm kernel and RHEL

[Jincheng Miao]

Function pci_num_vf() is introduced from upstream linux-2.6.34. So
this patch make compatible with longterm kernel linux-2.6.32.63.

For RHEL, function pci_num_vf() begins from RHEL5 update9. And
it is stub-defined when CONFIG_PCI_IOV is not enabled.

So dropped the CONFIG_PCI_IOV checking of commit 11ba0426.

For other distro like RHEL behaved to pci_num_vf(), we could simply
append following condition macro:
(!(defined(OTHER_RELEASE_CODE) && \
 OTHER_RELEASE_CODE >= OTHER_RELEASE_VERSION(X, Y)))

[PATCH v4 2/4] igb_uio: replace strict_strtoul with kstrtoul

[Jincheng Miao]

>From upstream kernel commit 3db2e9cd, strict_strto* serial functions
are removed. So that we should directly used kstrtoul instead.

Kstrtoul exists from RHEL6.4, so for compatible with old kernel and RHEL,
add some logic to igb_uio/compat.h, same as what we do for pci_num_vf().
