index revalidators by ID as an\n object, as suggested by Eelco Chaudron.\n - Patch 3 (pmd-sleep-show): use \"threads\" as the container key and\n thread names (pmd-cXX) as keys, matching the names visible in\n system tools like \"top\", as suggested by Ilya Maximets and\n Eelco Chaudron. Drop the \"_id\" suffix from field names as\n suggested by Ilya Maximets.\n - Patch 4 (pmd-stats-show): use thread names as keys (matching\n patch 3); group average metrics under an \"averages\" sub-object,\n as suggested by Ilya Maximets.\n - Patch 5 (dpctl/show): use datapath name as the top-level key and\n port name as port key; use \"port-number\" field name as suggested\n by Eelco Chaudron and Ilya Maximets. Make masks, cache, and\n statistics independent fields (null when unavailable) for a\n consistent schema regardless of command-line flags, as suggested\n by Eelco Chaudron.\n\nRegarding pmd-perf-show (raised by Ilya Maximets): pmd-stats-show is\nkept as the lightweight, scripting-friendly command for basic PMD\nstatistics. JSON support for pmd-perf-show, with its histograms,\niteration history, and multiple output modes, is planned as a separate\nfollow-up series.\n\nTimothy Redaelli (5):\n ofproto-dpif: Add JSON output to fdb/stats-show.\n ofproto-dpif-upcall: Add JSON output to upcall/show.\n dpif-netdev: Add JSON output to pmd-sleep-show.\n dpif-netdev: Add JSON output to pmd-stats-show.\n dpctl: Add JSON output to dpctl/show.\n\n NEWS | 4 +\n lib/dpctl.c | 203 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-\n lib/dpctl.h | 11 ++\n lib/dpif-netdev.c | 173 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-\n ofproto/ofproto-dpif-upcall.c | 94 +++++++++++++---\n ofproto/ofproto-dpif.c | 87 +++++++++++----\n tests/dpctl.at | 17 +++\n tests/ofproto-dpif.at | 44 ++++++++\n tests/pmd.at | 92 +++++++++++++++\n 9 files changed, 684 insertions(+), 41 deletions(-)"}
