framework. There is no need to waste the space if you are only using
algoritms provided by hardware accelerators. To get the software
implementations, add "pseudo-device swcr" to your kernel config.
- Lazily initialize the opencrypto framework when crypto drivers
(either hardware or swcr) register themselves with the framework.
will be hardware-accelerated. Avoids copyin()/copyout() overhead and
spending exceessive tie inside the kernel.
Pullup after: 24 hours, or confirmation by Jason Thorpe that this is the
consensus tech-kern agreed upon last summer.
clients, and a pseudo-device for userspace access.
The attribute is named `opencrypto'. The pseudo-device is renamed to
"crypto", which has a dependency on "opencrypto". The sys/conf/majors
entry and pseudo-device attach entrypoint are updated to match the
new pseudo-device name.
Fast IPsec (sys/netipsec/files.ipsec) now lists a dependency on the
"opencrypto" attribute. Drivers for crypto accelerators (ubsec,
hifn775x) also pull in opencrypto, as providers of opencrypto transforms.
for using /dev/crypto for OpenSSL:
1. Add comments explaining crypto_devallowsoft, explaining the
OpenBSD-style three-way logic actully implemented in crypto_newsession().
2. Pass crypto_devallowsoft as the final argument to crypto_newsession(),
instead of a constant 0 value.
3. Set the default value of crypto_devallowsoft to 1, to allow
/dev/crypto access only for hardware-supported transforms.
Items 1-3 may be revised to match the FreeBSD two-way logic, if the
consensus is that there's no point to forcing software transforms.
But as a first step, let the description match what the code actually does.
GC unused variables usercrypto, userasmcrypto, cryptodevallowsoft from
cryptodev.c, in favour of variables crypto_usercrypto, crypto_userasmcrypto,
crypto_devallowsoft, which are used as well as defined in crypto.c.
pseudo-device to init_main(), so the framework is ready for
registration requests at autoconfiguration time.
Thanks to Quentin Garnier for confirming the change was required, and
for testing a similar fix.
code is derived from Sam Leffler's FreeBSD port of OCF, which is in
turn a port of Angelos Keromytis's OpenBSD work.
Credit to Sam and Angelos, any blame for the NetBSD port to me.
