97Installation
98------------
99
100To enable QAT in DPDK, follow the instructions for modifying the compile-time
101configuration file as described `here <http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html>`_.
102
103Quick instructions are as follows:
104
105.. code-block:: console
106
107	cd to the top-level DPDK directory
108	make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
109	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
110	make
111
112To use the DPDK QAT PMD an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The VF
113devices exposed by this driver will be used by the QAT PMD. The devices and
114available kernel drivers and device ids are :

134
135The ``Driver`` column indicates either the Linux kernel version in which
136support for this device was introduced or a driver available on Intel's 01.org
137website. There are both linux and 01.org kernel drivers available for some
138devices. p = release pending.
139
140If you are running on a kernel which includes a driver for your device, see
141`Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below. Otherwise see
142`Installation using 01.org QAT driver`_.
143
144
145Installation using kernel.org driver
146------------------------------------
147
148The examples below are based on the C62x device, if you have a different device
149use the corresponding values in the above table.
150
151In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either:
152
153* Disable VT-d or
154* Enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
155
156Check that the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
157
158    lsmod | grep qa
159
160You should see the kernel module for your device listed, e.g.::
161
162    qat_c62x               5626  0
163    intel_qat              82336  1 qat_c62x
164
165Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
166
167First find the BDFs (Bus-Device-Function) of the physical functions (PFs) of
168your device, e.g.::
169
170    lspci -d:37c8
171
172You should see output similar to::
173
174    1a:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
175    3d:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
176    3f:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
177
178Enable the VFs for each PF by echoing the number of VFs per PF to the pci driver::
179
180     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:1a:00.0/sriov_numvfs
181     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3d:00.0/sriov_numvfs
182     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3f:00.0/sriov_numvfs
183
184Check that the VFs are available for use. For example ``lspci -d:37c9`` should
185list 48 VF devices available for a ``C62x`` device.
186
187To complete the installation follow the instructions in
188`Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
189
190.. Note::
191
192   If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like ``Failed
193   to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` in kernel logs, this may be as a
194   result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
195
196   Download firmware from the `kernel firmware repo
197   <http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/>`_.
198
199   Copy qat binaries to ``/lib/firmware``::
200
201      cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware
202      cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware
203
204   Change to your linux source root directory and start the qat kernel modules::
205
206      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/intel_qat.ko
207      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_dh895xcc/qat_dh895xcc.ko
208
209
210.. Note::
211
212   If you see the following warning in ``/var/log/messages`` it can be ignored:
213   ``IOMMU should be enabled for SR-IOV to work correctly``.
214
215
216Installation using 01.org QAT driver
217------------------------------------
218
219Download the latest QuickAssist Technology Driver from `01.org
220<https://01.org/packet-processing/intel%C2%AE-quickassist-technology-drivers-and-patches>`_.
221Consult the *Getting Started Guide* at the same URL for further information.
222
223The steps below assume you are:
224
225* Building on a platform with one ``DH895xCC`` device.
226* Using package ``qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz``.
227* On Fedora21 kernel ``3.17.4-301.fc21.x86_64``.
228
229In the BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and VT-d is disabled.
230
231Uninstall any existing QAT driver, for example by running:
232
233* ``./installer.sh uninstall`` in the directory where originally installed.
234
235* or ``rmmod qat_dh895xcc; rmmod intel_qat``.
236
237Build and install the SRIOV-enabled QAT driver::
238
239    mkdir /QAT
240    cd /QAT
241
242    # Copy qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz to this location
243    tar zxof qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz
244
245    export ICP_WITHOUT_IOMMU=1
246    ./installer.sh install QAT1.6 host
247
248You can use ``cat /proc/icp_dh895xcc_dev0/version`` to confirm the driver is correctly installed.
249You can use ``lspci -d:443`` to confirm the  of the 32 VF devices available per ``DH895xCC`` device.
250
251To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
252
253.. Note::
254
255   If using a later kernel and the build fails with an error relating to
256   ``strict_stroul`` not being available apply the following patch:
257

288      sudo yum install zlib-devel
289      sudo yum install openssl-devel
290
291.. Note::
292
293   If the build or install fails due to mismatching kernel sources you may need to do the following::
294
295      sudo yum install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
296      sudo yum install kernel-src-`uname -r`
297      sudo yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r`
298

300Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver
301------------------------------------------------
302
303Unbind the VFs from the stock driver so they can be bound to the uio driver.
304
305For an Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology DH895xCC device
306~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
307
308The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``03:01.00-03:04.07``, if your
309VFs are different adjust the unbind command below::
310
311    for device in $(seq 1 4); do \
312        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
313            echo -n 0000:03:0${device}.${fn} > \
314            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
315        done; \
316    done
317
318For an Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C62x device
319~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
320
321The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``1a:01.00-1a:02.07``,
322``3d:01.00-3d:02.07`` and ``3f:01.00-3f:02.07``, if your VFs are different
323adjust the unbind command below::
324
325    for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
326        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
327            echo -n 0000:1a:0${device}.${fn} > \
328            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:1a\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
329
330            echo -n 0000:3d:0${device}.${fn} > \
331            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3d\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
332
333            echo -n 0000:3f:0${device}.${fn} > \
334            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:3f\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
335        done; \
336    done
337
338For Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology C3xxx or D15xx device
339~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
340
341The unbind command below assumes ``BDFs`` of ``01:01.00-01:02.07``, if your
342VFs are different adjust the unbind command below::
343
344    for device in $(seq 1 2); do \
345        for fn in $(seq 0 7); do \
346            echo -n 0000:01:0${device}.${fn} > \
347            /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:0${device}.${fn}/driver/unbind; \
348        done; \
349    done
350
351Bind to the DPDK uio driver
352~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
353
354Install the DPDK igb_uio driver, bind the VF PCI Device id to it and use lspci
355to confirm the VF devices are now in use by igb_uio kernel driver,
356e.g. for the C62x device::
357
358    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
359    modprobe uio
360    insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko
361    echo "8086 37c9" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
362    lspci -vvd:37c9
363
364
365Another way to bind the VFs to the DPDK UIO driver is by using the
366``dpdk-devbind.py`` script::
367
368    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
369    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:03:01.1
370
371
372Extra notes on KASUMI F9
373------------------------
374
375When using KASUMI F9 authentication algorithm, the input buffer must be
376constructed according to the 3GPP KASUMI specifications (section 4.4, page 13):
377`<http://cryptome.org/3gpp/35201-900.pdf>`_.
378Input buffer has to have COUNT (4 bytes), FRESH (4 bytes), MESSAGE and DIRECTION (1 bit)
379concatenated. After the DIRECTION bit, a single '1' bit is appended, followed by
380between 0 and 7 '0' bits, so that the total length of the buffer is multiple of 8 bits.
381Note that the actual message can be any length, specified in bits.
382
383Once this buffer is passed this way, when creating the crypto operation,
384length of data to authenticate (op.sym.auth.data.length) must be the length
385of all the items described above, including the padding at the end.
386Also, offset of data to authenticate (op.sym.auth.data.offset)
387must be such that points at the start of the COUNT bytes.
388
