README - ocf-linux-20100325
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
This README provides instructions for getting ocf-linux compiled and
|
|
operating in a generic linux environment. For other information you
|
|
might like to visit the home page for this project:

|
Adding OCF to linux
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Not much in this file for now, just some notes. I usually build
|
|
the ocf support as modules but it can be built into the kernel as
|
|
well. To use it:
|
|
|
|
* mknod /dev/crypto c 10 70
|
|
|
|
* to add OCF to your kernel source, you have two options. Apply
|
|
the kernel specific patch:
|
|
|
|
cd linux-2.4*; gunzip < ocf-linux-24-XXXXXXXX.patch.gz | patch -p1
|
|
cd linux-2.6*; gunzip < ocf-linux-26-XXXXXXXX.patch.gz | patch -p1
|
|
|
|
if you do one of the above, then you can proceed to the next step,
|
|
or you can do the above process by hand with using the patches against
|
|
linux-2.4.35 and 2.6.33 to include the ocf code under crypto/ocf.
|
|
Here's how to add it:
|
|
|
|
for 2.4.35 (and later)
|
|
|
|
cd linux-2.4.35/crypto
|
|
tar xvzf ocf-linux.tar.gz
|
|
cd ..
|
|
patch -p1 < crypto/ocf/patches/linux-2.4.35-ocf.patch
|
|
|
|
for 2.6.23 (and later), find the kernel patch specific (or nearest)
|
|
to your kernel versions and then:
|
|
|
|
cd linux-2.6.NN/crypto
|
|
tar xvzf ocf-linux.tar.gz
|
|
cd ..
|
|
patch -p1 < crypto/ocf/patches/linux-2.6.NN-ocf.patch
|
|
|
|
It should be easy to take this patch and apply it to other more
|
|
recent versions of the kernels. The same patches should also work
|
|
relatively easily on kernels as old as 2.6.11 and 2.4.18.
|
|
|
|
* under 2.4 if you are on a non-x86 platform, you may need to:
|
|
|
|
cp linux-2.X.x/include/asm-i386/kmap_types.h linux-2.X.x/include/asm-YYY
|
|
|
|
so that you can build the kernel crypto support needed for the cryptosoft
|
|
driver.
|
|
|
|
* For simplicity you should enable all the crypto support in your kernel
|
|
except for the test driver. Likewise for the OCF options. Do not
|
|
enable OCF crypto drivers for HW that you do not have (for example
|
|
ixp4xx will not compile on non-Xscale systems).
|
|
|
|
* make sure that cryptodev.h (from ocf-linux.tar.gz) is installed as
|
|
crypto/cryptodev.h in an include directory that is used for building
|
|
applications for your platform. For example on a host system that
|
|
might be:
|
|
|
|
/usr/include/crypto/cryptodev.h
|
|
|
|
* patch your openssl-0.9.8n code with the openssl-0.9.8n.patch.
|
|
(NOTE: there is no longer a need to patch ssh). The patch is against:
|
|
openssl-0_9_8e
|
|
|
|
If you need a patch for an older version of openssl, you should look
|
|
to older OCF releases. This patch is unlikely to work on older
|
|
openssl versions.
|
|
|
|
openssl-0.9.8n.patch
|
|
- enables --with-cryptodev for non BSD systems
|
|
- adds -cpu option to openssl speed for calculating CPU load
|
|
under linux
|
|
- fixes null pointer in openssl speed multi thread output.
|
|
- fixes test keys to work with linux crypto's more stringent
|
|
key checking.
|
|
- adds MD5/SHA acceleration (Ronen Shitrit), only enabled
|
|
with the --with-cryptodev-digests option
|
|
- fixes bug in engine code caching.
|
|
|
|
* build crypto-tools-XXXXXXXX.tar.gz if you want to try some of the BSD
|
|
tools for testing OCF (ie., cryptotest).
|
|
|
|
How to load the OCF drivers
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
First insert the base modules:
|
|
|
|
insmod ocf
|
|
insmod cryptodev
|
|
|
|
You can then install the software OCF driver with:
|
|
|
|
insmod cryptosoft
|
|
|
|
and one or more of the OCF HW drivers with:
|
|
|
|
insmod safe
|
|
insmod hifn7751
|
|
insmod ixp4xx
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
all the drivers take a debug option to enable verbose debug so that
|
|
you can see what is going on. For debug you load them as:
|
|
|
|
insmod ocf crypto_debug=1
|
|
insmod cryptodev cryptodev_debug=1
|
|
insmod cryptosoft swcr_debug=1
|
|
|
|
You may load more than one OCF crypto driver but then there is no guarantee
|
|
as to which will be used.
|
|
|
|
You can also enable debug at run time on 2.6 systems with the following:
|
|
|
|
echo 1 > /sys/module/ocf/parameters/crypto_debug
|
|
echo 1 > /sys/module/cryptodev/parameters/cryptodev_debug
|
|
echo 1 > /sys/module/cryptosoft/parameters/swcr_debug
|
|
echo 1 > /sys/module/hifn7751/parameters/hifn_debug
|
|
echo 1 > /sys/module/safe/parameters/safe_debug
|
|
echo 1 > /sys/module/ixp4xx/parameters/ixp_debug
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
Testing the OCF support
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
run "cryptotest", it should do a short test for a couple of
|
|
des packets. If it does everything is working.
|
|
|
|
If this works, then ssh will use the driver when invoked as:
|
|
|
|
ssh -c 3des username@host
|
|
|
|
to see for sure that it is operating, enable debug as defined above.
|
|
|
|
To get a better idea of performance run:
|
|
|
|
cryptotest 100 4096
|
|
|
|
There are more options to cryptotest, see the help.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to use openssl to test the speed of the crypto
|
|
drivers.
|
|
|
|
openssl speed -evp des -engine cryptodev -elapsed
|
|
openssl speed -evp des3 -engine cryptodev -elapsed
|
|
openssl speed -evp aes128 -engine cryptodev -elapsed
|
|
|
|
and multiple threads (10) with:
|
|
|
|
openssl speed -evp des -engine cryptodev -elapsed -multi 10
|
|
openssl speed -evp des3 -engine cryptodev -elapsed -multi 10
|
|
openssl speed -evp aes128 -engine cryptodev -elapsed -multi 10
|
|
|
|
for public key testing you can try:
|
|
|
|
cryptokeytest
|
|
openssl speed -engine cryptodev rsa -elapsed
|
|
openssl speed -engine cryptodev dsa -elapsed
