We found out earlier that GCC sometimes produces an error only at link time
for atomic built-ins that are not supported on a platform. This actually
tries the link at configure time and should thus reliably detect whether
the atomic built-ins are really supported.

POSIX defines a portable pthread_key_t API for per-thread data. GCC and
C11 have two different forms of per-thread data that are generally faster
than the POSIX API, where they are available. This commit adds a
macro-based wrapper, DEFINE_PER_THREAD_DATA, that takes advantage of these
features where they are available and falls back to the POSIX API
otherwise.
The Clang compiler implements C11 thread_local in its <threads.h>.
This commit also adds a convenience wrapper for the POSIX API, via the
DEFINE_PER_THREAD_MALLOCED_DATA macro.

Often when developing, it would be convenient to force OVS to
either enable or disable cached timing so that a feature can be
tested under both strategies.

The ESX userspace looks quite a bit like linux, but has some key
differences which need to be specially handled in the build. To
distinguish between ESX and systems which use the linux datapath
module, this patch adds two new macros "ESX" and "LINUX_DATAPATH".
It uses these macros to disable building code on ESX which only
applies to a true Linux environment. In addition, it adds a new
route-table-stub implementation which is required for the build to
complete successfully on ESX.

The default is unchanged, /etc/openvswitch/conf.db.
This makes it possible to transition each Open vSwitch packaging from

At one point I got the "lcov" utilities to work well with OVS. Then I
didn't try to use them again for a year or so, and when I did I found that
it didn't work at all. I wasn't able to fix the problem easily, so it
seems better to remove the feature than to leave around broken code.

This adds ability to do:

to disable building userspace and kernel module associated with

The PKI directory is mutable state, so it should be in /var, not in /usr.
This commit changes its location and, on systems upgraded from earlier
versions, moves the existing PKI and leaves behind a symlink.

Currently ovs is using device stats for Linux devices and count them
itself in other situations. This leads to overlap with hardware stats,
inconsistencies, etc. It's much better to just always count the packets
flowing through the switch and let userspace do any merging that it wants.
Following patch removes vport->get_stats() interface. vport-stat is changed
to use new `struct ovs_vport_stat` rather than rtnl_link_stats64.
Definitions of rtnl_link_stats64 is removed from OVS. dipf_port->stat is also
removed as aggregate stats are only available at netdev layer.

Until now, when pkg-config is missing, Autoconf emitted this error:
error: possibly undefined macro: PKG_CHECK_MODULES
This commit changes the message to:
error: Please install pkg-config.
This should be easier for users to interpret.

The backtrace_capture() implementation only worked properly with GNU C on
systems that have a simple stack frame with a frame pointer. Notably,
the x86-64 ABI by default has no frame pointer, so this failed on x86-64.
However, glibc has a function named backtrace() that does what we want.
This commit tests for this function and uses it when it is present, fixing
x86-64 backtraces.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 has a 2.6.32 kernel but it backports the
rtnl_link_stats64 structure that was introduced in 2.6.35, so we need to
check whether it was defined instead of just guessing based on the kernel
version number.
Build-tested only, on 2.6.32-71.14.1.el6 (RHEL 6),
linux-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.xs5.5.0.496.101 (XenServer 5.5.0),
2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.xs5.5.0.505.1024xen (XenServer 5.5.0 update 1),
and upstream 2.6.18, 2.6.26, 2.6.29, 2.6.33, 2.6.34, 2.6.36, all for i386,
plus 2.6.36 for x86-64.
My machine's userspace headers have <linux/if_link.h> but not
rtnl_link_stats64. Jesse Gross tested the case where <linux/if_link.h>
has rtnl_link_stats64, on Ubuntu 10.10.

Until now, vswitch.pic has been rebuilt whenever the schema changed. This
is OK when the E-R diagram would really change, but many changes to the
schema don't change the E-R diagram, and it surprises people when
vswitch.pic changes in such a situation. This commit fixes the problem.

Ubuntu bug #680439.
This check for Graphviz never actually worked properly because Autoconf
swallows up the [] around [gG], so Graphviz was always detected as missing.
This commit fixes the problem by doubling up to [[gG]].
Because Graphviz was never used, I never noticed that ovsdb-dot had not
been revised to use the latest Python interface to OVSDB, so this commit
fixes up those problems too.
Years ago some users had broken OpenSSL libraries that didn't actually
work, so we disabled OpenSSL by default. By now, I hope that those users
have fixed their systems.
These utilities were useful when Nicira was building switches with 16x2 LCD
front panel displays, but they aren't useful for other environments and
even Nicira does not use that kind of switch any longer. So remove them
and all the build infrastructure on which they depended.
Until now, the collection of vlog modules supported by a given OVS program
was not specific to that program. That means that, for example, even
though ovs-dpctl does not have anything to do with jsonrpc, it still has
a vlog module for it. This is confusing, at best.
This commit fixes the problem on some systems, in particular on ones that
use GCC and the GNU linker. It uses the feature of the GNU linker
described in its manual as:
If an orphaned section's name is representable as a C identifier then
the linker will automatically see PROVIDE two symbols: __start_SECNAME
and __end_SECNAME, where SECNAME is the name of the section. These
indicate the start address and end address of the orphaned section
respectively.
Systems that don't support these features retain the earlier behavior.
This commit also fixes the annoyance that modifying lib/vlog-modules.def
causes all sources files that #include "vlog.h" to recompile.
This commit cleans up the locations of a number of files and directories
used. These include:
- Config file lives in /etc/openvswitch/conf.db
- Logs go into /var/log/openvswitch
- ovsdb-server socket is /var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
- Schema goes into /usr/share/openvswitch/vswitch.ovsschema
- PID files go in /var/run/openvswitch
For XenServer, these additional changes are made:
- Cores go in /var/xen/openvswitch
- OVS binaries run in /var/xen/openvswitch
In addition, it attempts to cleanup the XenServer packaging. This
includes referring to the project as "openvswitch" as opposed to the
somewhat presumptuous "vswitch".
Note: Changes to the Debian packaging will be forthcoming.
This module, which catches segmentation faults and prints a backtrace
before exiting, was useful for a while, but I believe that it has now
outlived its purpose. It is altogether better to have a core dump from
which one can extract much more information than a usually-poor backtrace,
and core dumps are much better integrated into a typical Unix system.
In addition, the "fault" module was of course not all that portable.
The Xen DDK VM does not include Python, so it's best if we don't have to
require it for the build.
The built sources are still regenerated if necessary.
The PCRE_INFO_OKPARTIAL feature used by ovs-switchui was only introduced
in PCRE 7.2, so we need to check for that version or later, instead of
just for PCRE.
Thanks to Ian Campbell <Ian.Campbell@citrix.com> for reporting the problem.
