71Installation
72------------
73
74To enable QAT in DPDK, follow the instructions for modifying the compile-time
75configuration file as described `here <http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html>`_.
76
77Quick instructions are as follows:
78
79.. code-block:: console
80
81	cd to the top-level DPDK directory
82	make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
83	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
84	make
85
86To use the DPDK QAT PMD an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The VF
87devices exposed by this driver will be used by the QAT PMD. The devices and
88available kernel drivers and device ids are :

108
109The ``Driver`` column indicates either the Linux kernel version in which
110support for this device was introduced or a driver available on Intel's 01.org
111website. There are both linux and 01.org kernel drivers available for some
112devices. p = release pending.
113
114If you are running on a kernel which includes a driver for your device, see
115`Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below. Otherwise see
116`Installation using 01.org QAT driver`_.
117
118
119Installation using kernel.org driver
120------------------------------------
121
122The examples below are based on the C62x device, if you have a different device
123use the corresponding values in the above table.
124
125In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either:
126
127* Disable VT-d or
128* Enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
129
130Check that the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
131
132    lsmod | grep qa
133
134You should see the kernel module for your device listed, e.g.::
135
136    qat_c62x               5626  0
137    intel_qat              82336  1 qat_c62x
138
139Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
140
141First find the BDFs (Bus-Device-Function) of the physical functions (PFs) of
142your device, e.g.::
143
144    lspci -d:37c8
145
146You should see output similar to::
147
148    1a:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
149    3d:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
150    3f:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
151
152Enable the VFs for each PF by echoing the number of VFs per PF to the pci driver::
153
154     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:1a:00.0/sriov_numvfs
155     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3d:00.0/sriov_numvfs
156     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3f:00.0/sriov_numvfs
157
158Check that the VFs are available for use. For example ``lspci -d:37c9`` should
159list 48 VF devices available for a ``C62x`` device.
160
161To complete the installation follow the instructions in
162`Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
163
164.. Note::
165
166   If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like ``Failed
167   to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` in kernel logs, this may be as a
168   result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
169
170   Download firmware from the `kernel firmware repo
171   <http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/>`_.
172
173   Copy qat binaries to ``/lib/firmware``::
174
175      cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware
176      cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware
177
178   Change to your linux source root directory and start the qat kernel modules::
179
180      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/intel_qat.ko
181      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_dh895xcc/qat_dh895xcc.ko
182
183
184.. Note::
185
186   If you see the following warning in ``/var/log/messages`` it can be ignored:
187   ``IOMMU should be enabled for SR-IOV to work correctly``.
188
189
190Installation using 01.org QAT driver
191------------------------------------
192
193Download the latest QuickAssist Technology Driver from `01.org
194<https://01.org/packet-processing/intel%C2%AE-quickassist-technology-drivers-and-patches>`_.
195Consult the *Getting Started Guide* at the same URL for further information.
196
197The steps below assume you are:
198
199* Building on a platform with one ``DH895xCC`` device.
200* Using package ``qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz``.
201* On Fedora21 kernel ``3.17.4-301.fc21.x86_64``.
202
203In the BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and VT-d is disabled.
204
205Uninstall any existing QAT driver, for example by running:
206
207* ``./installer.sh uninstall`` in the directory where originally installed.
208
209* or ``rmmod qat_dh895xcc; rmmod intel_qat``.
210
211Build and install the SRIOV-enabled QAT driver::
212
213    mkdir /QAT
214    cd /QAT
215
216    # Copy qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz to this location
217    tar zxof qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz
218
219    export ICP_WITHOUT_IOMMU=1
220    ./installer.sh install QAT1.6 host
221
222You can use ``cat /proc/icp_dh895xcc_dev0/version`` to confirm the driver is correctly installed.
223You can use ``lspci -d:443`` to confirm the  of the 32 VF devices available per ``DH895xCC`` device.
224
225To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
226
227.. Note::
228
229   If using a later kernel and the build fails with an error relating to
230   ``strict_stroul`` not being available apply the following patch:
231

257
258.. Note::
259
260   If the build fails due to missing header files you may need to do following::
261
262      sudo yum install zlib-devel
263      sudo yum install openssl-devel
264
265.. Note::
266
267   If the build or install fails due to mismatching kernel sources you may need to do the following::
268
269      sudo yum install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
270      sudo yum install kernel-src-`uname -r`
271      sudo yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r`
272
273
274Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver
275------------------------------------------------
276
277Unbind the VFs from the stock driver so they can be bound to the uio driver.
278
279For an Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology DH895xCC device
280~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
281
282The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``03:01.00-03:04.07``, if your
283VFs are different adjust the unbind command below::
284
285    for device in $(seq 1 4); do \
286        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
287            echo -n 0000:03:0${device}.${fn} > \
288            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
289        done; \
290    done
291
292For an Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C62x device
293~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
294
295The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``1a:01.00-1a:02.07``,
296``3d:01.00-3d:02.07`` and ``3f:01.00-3f:02.07``, if your VFs are different
297adjust the unbind command below::
298
299    for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
300        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
301            echo -n 0000:1a:0${device}.${fn} > \
302            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:1a\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
303
304            echo -n 0000:3d:0${device}.${fn} > \
305            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3d\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
306
307            echo -n 0000:3f:0${device}.${fn} > \
308            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3f\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
309        done; \
310    done
311
312For Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C3xxx or D15xx device
313~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
314
315The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``01:01.00-01:02.07``, if your
316VFs are different adjust the unbind command below::
317
318    for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
319        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
320            echo -n 0000:01:0${device}.${fn} > \
321            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
322        done; \
323    done
324
325Bind to the DPDK uio driver
326~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
327
328Install the DPDK igb_uio driver, bind the VF PCI Device id to it and use lspci
329to confirm the VF devices are now in use by igb_uio kernel driver,
330e.g. for the C62x device::
331
332    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
333    modprobe uio
334    insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko
335    echo "8086 37c9" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
336    lspci -vvd:37c9
337
338
339Another way to bind the VFs to the DPDK UIO driver is by using the
340``dpdk-devbind.py`` script::
341
342    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
343    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:03:01.1
344
345
346Extra notes on KASUMI F9
347------------------------
348
349When using KASUMI F9 authentication algorithm, the input buffer must be
350constructed according to the 3GPP KASUMI specifications (section 4.4, page 13):
351`<http://cryptome.org/3gpp/35201-900.pdf>`_.
352Input buffer has to have COUNT (4 bytes), FRESH (4 bytes), MESSAGE and DIRECTION (1 bit)
353concatenated. After the DIRECTION bit, a single '1' bit is appended, followed by
354between 0 and 7 '0' bits, so that the total length of the buffer is multiple of 8 bits.
355Note that the actual message can be any length, specified in bits.
356
357Once this buffer is passed this way, when creating the crypto operation,
358length of data to authenticate (op.sym.auth.data.length) must be the length
359of all the items described above, including the padding at the end.
360Also, offset of data to authenticate (op.sym.auth.data.offset)
361must be such that points at the start of the COUNT bytes.
362
363Device and driver naming
364------------------------
365
366The qat crypto driver name is "crypto_qat".
367This name is passed to the dpdk-test-crypto-perf tool in the -devtype parameter.
368The rte_cryptodev_devices_get() can return the devices exposed by a driver.
369
370Each qat crypto device has a unique name, in format
371<pci bdf>_<service>, e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_sym".
372This name can be passed to rte_cryptodev_get_dev_id() to get the device_id.
373This is also the format of the slave parameter passed to the crypto scheduler.
374
375Debugging
376----------------------------------------
377
378There are 2 sets of trace available via the dynamic logging feature:
379
380* pmd.qat_dp exposes trace on the data-path.
381* pmd.qat_general exposes all other trace.
382
383pmd.qat exposes both sets of traces.
384They can be enabled using the log-level option (where 8=maximum log level) on
385the process cmdline, e.g. using any of the following::
386
387    --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
388    --log-level="pmd.qat_dp,8"
389    --log-level="pmd.qat,8"
390
391.. Note::
392
393    The global RTE_LOG_DP_LEVEL overrides data-path trace so must be set to
394    RTE_LOG_DEBUG to see all the trace. This variable is in config/rte_config.h
395    for meson build and config/common_base for gnu make.
396    Also the dynamic global log level overrides both sets of trace, so e.g. no
397    QAT trace would display in this case::
398
399	--log-level="7" --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
400
