05a14d5e17 pktgen: add benchmark script pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_netif_receive.sh
This script pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_netif_receive.sh is a benchmark
script, which can be used for benchmarking part of the network stack.
This can be used for performance improving or catching regression in
that area.

The script is developed for benchmarking ingress qdisc path, original
idea by Alexei Starovoitov.  This script don't really need any
hardware.  This is achieved via the recently introduced stack inject
feature "xmit_mode netif_receive". See commit 62f64aed62 ("pktgen:
introduce xmit_mode '<start_xmit|netif_receive>'").

1d73ba16ad pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh
Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh
that demonstrates how to acheive maximum performance.

If correctly tuned[1] single CPU 10Gbit/s wirespeed small pkts is
possible[2] which is 14.88Mpps.  The trick is to take advantage of the
"burst" feature introduced in commit 38b2cf2982 ("net: pktgen:
packet bursting via skb->xmit_more").

282fb58947 pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh
Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh that
demonstrates generating packets on multiqueue NICs.

Specifically notice the options "-t" that specifies how many
kernel threads to activate.  Also notice the flag QUEUE_MAP_CPU,
which cause the SKB TX queue to be mapped to the CPU running the
kernel thread.  For best scalability people are also encourage to
map NIC IRQ /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity to CPU number.

Usage example with "-t" 4 threads and help:
 ./pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh -i eth4 -m 00:1B:21:3C:9D:F8 -t 4

Usage: ./pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh [-vx] -i ethX
  -i : ($DEV)       output interface/device (required)
  -s : ($PKT_SIZE)  packet size
  -d : ($DEST_IP)   destination IP
  -m : ($DST_MAC)   destination MAC-addr
  -t : ($THREADS)   threads to start
  -c : ($SKB_CLONE) SKB clones send before alloc new SKB
  -b : ($BURST)     HW level bursting of SKBs
  -v : ($VERBOSE)   verbose
  -x : ($DEBUG)     debug

Removing pktgen.conf-2-1 and pktgen.conf-2-2 as these examples
should be covered now.

6f09479758 pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample01_simple.sh
Add the first basic pktgen samples script pktgen_sample01_simple.sh,
which demonstrates the a simple use of the helper functions.
Removing pktgen.conf-1-1 as that example should be covered now.

The naming scheme pktgen_sampleNN, where NN is a number, should encourage
reading the samples in a specific order.

Script cause pktgen sending with a single thread and single interface,
and introduce flow variation via random UDP source port.

Usage example and help:
 ./pktgen_sample01_simple.sh -i eth4 -m 00:1B:21:3C:9D:F8 -d 192.168.8.2

Usage: ./pktgen_sample01_simple.sh [-vx] -i ethX
  -i : ($DEV)       output interface/device (required)
  -s : ($PKT_SIZE)  packet size
  -d : ($DEST_IP)   destination IP
  -m : ($DST_MAC)   destination MAC-addr
  -c : ($SKB_CLONE) SKB clones send before alloc new SKB
  -v : ($VERBOSE)   verbose
  -x : ($DEBUG)     debug

b64b0d1e64 pktgen: new pktgen helper functions for samples scripts
Preparing for removing existing samples/pktgen/ scripts, and
replacing these with easier to use samples.

This commit provides two helper shell files, that can
be "included" by shell source'ing. Namely "functions.sh"
and "parameters.sh".

The parameters.sh file support easy and consistant parameter
parsing across the sample scripts.  Usage example is printed on
errors.

The functions.sh file provides, three new shell functions for
configuring the different components of pktgen: pg_ctrl(),
pg_thread() and pg_set().  A slightly improved version of the old
pgset() function is also provided for backwards compat.

The new functions correspond to pktgens different components.
 * pg_ctrl()   control "pgctrl" (/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl)
 * pg_thread() control the kernel threads and binding to devices
 * pg_set()    control setup of individual devices

db72aba30a samples/pktgen: Use bash as interpreter
These scripts use the non-POSIX 'function' and 'local' keywords so
they won't work with every /bin/sh.  We could drop 'function' as it is
a no-op, but 'local' makes for cleaner scripts.  Require use of bash.

2ad1cdf2ea samples/pktgen: Correct comments about the thread config
They all claimed to be two CPU examples using eth1, eth2 but
that is only true in one case!

Rob Jones pointed out spelling and grammar errors here, which I've
also corrected.

This function is not used and wouldn't do anything useful as
pktgen does not have an 'inject' command.

7c95a9d962 samples/pktgen: Add sample scripts for pktgen facility
These are Robert Olsson's samples which used to be available from
<ftp://robur.slu.se/pub/Linux/net-development/pktgen-testing/examples/>
but currently are not.

Change the documentation to refer to these consistently as 'sample
scripts', matching the directory name used here.
