building shared library

building shared library

[Newman Poborsky]

Hi,

is it possible to build a  dpdk app as a shared library?

I tried to put 'include $(RTE_SDK)/mk/rte.extshared.mk' in my Makefile (and
define SHARED) and it builds .so lib, but all rte_* symbols are undefined.

After that i tried adding:
LDLIBS += -lrte_eal -lrte_mbuf -lrte_cmdline -lrte_timer  -lrte_mempool
-lrte_ring  -lrte_pmd_ring -lethdev -lrte_malloc

And now almost all symbols in .so file are defined (missing only
rte_hexdump).

I thought this was gonna be it. But after using this library, pci probe-ing
fails since I don't have any pmd drivers registered, and
rte_eth_dev_count() returns 0.

But how are drivers supposed to be registered?

When I use gdb with regular dpdk app (not shared library), I can see this:
#0  0x000000000046fab0 in rte_eal_driver_register ()
#1  0x0000000000418fb7 in devinitfn_bond_drv ()
#2  0x00000000004f15ed in __libc_csu_init ()
#3  0x00007ffff6efee55 in __libc_start_main (main=0x41ee65 <main>, argc=1,
argv=0x7fffffffe4f8, init=0x4f15a0 <__libc_csu_init>, fini=<optimized out>,
rtld_fini=<optimized out>, stack_end=0x7fffffffe4e8) at
libc-start.c:246
#4  0x000000000041953c in _start ()


Ok, if I'm not mistaken, it seems driver registration is called before
main. How is this accomplished? Cause in shared library build, I don't have
this before main() and after rte_eal_init() (since driver list is empty)
everything else fails.

Any suggestions please? I'd really appreciate it...

Yes it will work, with a bit of performance loss from the .so symbol lookup 
overhead. You have to set some of the build config options to get it to work 
though.

Hi,
I am using DPDK based shared lib, but never met such problems. Can you please share this the result of "ldd xxxxx.so" and check if all those depended lib are all avalible?

Re: building shared library

[Newman Poborsky]

Hi,

sure, here it is:
ldd libdpdk-api.so
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff3fffe000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f583dd99000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f583e5d4000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
(0x00007f583db7a000)

This is a library built with Makefile that has the following options:
RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=y
CFLAGS += -fPIC
LDLIBS += -lrte_eal -lrte_mbuf -lrte_cmdline -lrte_timer  -lrte_mempool
-lrte_ring  -lrte_pmd_ring -lethdev -lrte_malloc
include $(RTE_SDK)/mk/rte.extshared.mk

There are no missing libraries.

I also had to add '-fPIC' flag to all Makefiles of lrte_*  libs above.   Is
this the correct way to build shared lib? Am I missing something?

When I build it as a regular dpdk app (like helloworld example) ldd output
is this:
ldd dpdk-api
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffacbfe000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007ffe91b2b000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007ffe91922000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007ffe9171e000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007ffe91139000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007ffe92042000)
        libpcap.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libpcap.so.1 (0x00007ffe90ef8000)

Thank you for any help!

Can you elaborate a bit on how you are building DPDK and your app?
Is your objective to build a single .so containing your app and all DPDK libs?
Or do you want your app to have a link dependency on DPDK shared libs?

Re: building shared library

[Newman Poborsky]

Hi,

I want to build one .so file with my app (it contains API that I want to
call through JNI) and all DPDK libs that I use in my app.

As I've already mentioned, when I build and start my dpdk app as a
standalone application, I can see that before main() is called, there is a
call to 'rte_eal_driver_register()' function for every driver. When I build
.so file, this does not happen and no driver is registered so everyting
after rte_eal_init() fails.

Hi Newman,

AFAIK the current build system does not support that.

You can build DPDK as shared libs by setting the following config option:
CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=y

Then build your app as an .so that links against DPDK libs, so you have 
explicit dependencies (such dependencies should show with ldd).

Is there any reason why you want everything to be a single .so ?

I don't know much about how Java loads DSOs but I reckon that it must resolve
explicit dependencies such as libc.

Thanks,
Sergio

Hi Sergio,

no, that sounds good, thank you.  Since I'm not that familiar with DPDK
build system, where should this option be set? In 'lib' folder's Makefile?

Thank you once again!

Re: building shared library

[Newman Poborsky]

Hi,

after building DPDK libs as shared libraries and linking it, I'm back to my
first problem: rte_eal_driver_register() never gest called and my app
crashes since there are no drivers registered.  As previously mentioned, in
regular DPDK user app this functions is called for every driver before
main(). How?

If I am not wrong here, you have to use the -d option to specify the driver you want to use.

Btw, the option you were looking for can be found in config/common_linuxapp or config/common_bsdapp.

Alternatively, when you link your application you can speify
-llibrte_pmd_<driver> and your applicaion should call all the constructors when
the dynamic loader hits your binaries DT_NEEDED table.  Thats how you can avoid
the command line specification.

Re: building shared library

[Newman Poborsky]

It works!!!  Thanks everybody!

I wasn't using '-Wl,--no-as-needed'  while compiling, so no PMD driver was
linked and hence no constructor called. After putting this options, it
finally works.

Again, thank you very much, I could never figure out all these steps on my
own!

Newman
