  This is a follow up on previous work by Kevin Laatz:

http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=24658&state=*

This series is aimed at allowing DPDK applications to expose their CPU
usage stats in the DPDK telemetry under /eal/lcore/info. This is a much
more basic and naive approach which leaves the cpu cycles accounting
completely up to the application.

For reference, I have implemented a draft patch in OvS to use
rte_lcore_register_usage_cb() and report the already available busy
cycles information.

https://github.com/rjarry/ovs/commit/327db12c751be0375fcfed5e44b6065bcfb75c82

Changes since v1:

- The cpuset field in telemetry is now a JSON list of CPU ids.
- Applications must now report their raw CPU cycles counts. The busyness
  ratio and rate of change is left to external monitoring tools.
- Renamed show lcores -> dump_lcores in testpmd.

Robin Jarry (4):
  eal: add lcore info in telemetry
  eal: allow applications to report their cpu cycles utilization
  testpmd: add dump_lcores command
  testpmd: report lcore usage
