Known Issues
GCC 5.3.x ICEs during FP register allocation. Please use GCC 5.4+.
Arch Linux ARM is missing a few dependencies.
CSIT unit tests
Test order
Some tests are not meant to be played alone.
For example the test_l2bd_arp_term_\d+ list
- test_1: create 5 hosts
- test_2: delete 3 of the hosts created by test_1
...
Those tests should be played grouped. For example in the case above ;
# works make test TEST=*.TestL2bdArpTerm.* # does not work make test V=1 TEST=*.TestL2bdArpTerm.test_l2bd_arp_term_01 make test V=1 TEST=*.TestL2bdArpTerm.test_l2bd_arp_term_02 ...
Test timeout durations
Some tests might need timer finetuning: Example test_cflow_packet:
random test failure
Workaround: disable aslr
sysctl -w kernel.randomize_va_space=0
Test status
assertAlmostEqual(cflow[IPFIX].exportTime, nowUTC, delta=5)
make test-debug status
make test-all-debug status: ?
make test
make test-all status ?
TODO
Support multiple cache line sizes per architecture. AArch64 is currently hard coded to 128B. For native build, inspect ARMv8 Main ID Register in Makefile and pass cache line size as compiler option, e.g. -DCACHE_LINE_SIZE=128.
Investigate "show cpu" output and Arm CPU feature detection (AES, SHA1, SHA2, CRC32, ATOMICS) via hwcaps. src/vppinfra/cpu.[ch]
Review use of Arm architected timer in src/vppinfra/time.[ch]
Use ISB or YIELD in src/vppinfra/smp.h
Use REV in src/vppinfra/byte_order.h
Review use of __sync_xxx/__atomic_xxx builtins to ensure correct memory ordering on non-TSO machines.
Investigate hash performance (CRC32 vs xxhash) e.g. in src/vppinfra/bihash_8_8.h. Dependent on Arm CPU feature detection.
Investigate memcpy performance (src/vppinfra/string.h); both inlined-by-compiler and libc versions.
Investigate dual/quad loop tuning, e.g. l2_forward().
SIMD
- CLIB_HAVE_VEC128 also covers 256-bit. Add CLIB_HAVE_VEC256?
- ixge.[ch] - 128-bit vector types with plain C. Needs to be enabled.
- mheap.c - implement is_equal
- hash.h - implement irotate
- vnet_classify.h - 128-bit vector types with plain C. Needs to be enabled.
- vhost-user.c - SSE4.2 only. Implement range search using NEON.
- ip4_mtrie.h - 128-bit vector types with plain C. Needs to be enabled.

10/25/2017
- Gabriel working on load balancing test failure and vpp init failure in linux_pci_init()
- Kumar to check with GeorgeZ on Huawei boards shipped to CSIT; need to verify tests also on this environment (package versions from distro)
- Brian to check whether anything else needs to be done besides 'make test' for upstream enablement
