Ummmm... , it's just a usual variable, not even atomic or volatile.
It can not protect anything on smp system.

At least there is a comment for 'non_atomic_ullong_add' which explains
why the reader can not read the wrong value. Also, as you're using
non-atomic updates you need to be sure that there is only one writer.
This must be declared in the module description or description to the
functions. i.e. it should be clearly stated that counters could be updated
only by the thread they counted for.

1. I see that this variable used only in "detailed performance" patch.
2. The only line of code we're skipping is "s->last_tsc = now_tsc". This only
   breaks the stats at the time of  'pmd_perf_end_iteration()'.
3. This usual variable could not protect anything on SMP system.

IMHO, you should remove it entirely from these patches and introduce in
"detailed performance" if needed.

We're changing many things in that output. Why not to change this?

"ovs-appctl dpctl/show" prints stats in one line with a space as a delimiter.
That's why it has no space after the semicolon.
>From the other hand, "pmd-stats-show" should be more human readable and uses
'\n' as a delimiter. This allows to use additional space for readability.
This also simplifies automated parsing.

Thoughts?
Billy, what do you think?

I have never understood why there is a need for "dp" after all as there is only a single netdev userspace datapath (netdev at ovs-netdev or so). But it is still required if there is a kernel datapath configured.
