65* No BSD support as BSD QAT kernel driver not available.
66* ZUC EEA3/EIA3 is not supported by dh895xcc devices
67* Maximum additional authenticated data (AAD) for GCM is 240 bytes long.
68* Queue pairs are not thread-safe (that is, within a single queue pair, RX and TX from different lcores is not supported).
69
70
71Extra notes on KASUMI F9
72------------------------
73
74When using KASUMI F9 authentication algorithm, the input buffer must be
75constructed according to the
76`3GPP KASUMI specification <http://cryptome.org/3gpp/35201-900.pdf>`_
77(section 4.4, page 13). The input buffer has to have COUNT (4 bytes),
78FRESH (4 bytes), MESSAGE and DIRECTION (1 bit) concatenated. After the DIRECTION
79bit, a single '1' bit is appended, followed by between 0 and 7 '0' bits, so that
80the total length of the buffer is multiple of 8 bits. Note that the actual
81message can be any length, specified in bits.
82
83Once this buffer is passed this way, when creating the crypto operation,
84length of data to authenticate "op.sym.auth.data.length" must be the length
85of all the items described above, including the padding at the end.
86Also, offset of data to authenticate "op.sym.auth.data.offset"
87must be such that points at the start of the COUNT bytes.

90Building the DPDK QAT cryptodev PMD
91-----------------------------------
92
93
94To enable QAT crypto in DPDK, follow the instructions for modifying the compile-time
95configuration file as described `here <http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html>`_.
96
97
98Quick instructions are as follows:
99
100.. code-block:: console
101
102	cd to the top-level DPDK directory
103	make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
104	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
105	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
106	make

109.. _qat_kernel_installation:
110
111Dependency on the QAT kernel driver
112-----------------------------------
113
114To use the QAT PMD an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The VF
115devices created and initialised by this driver will be used by the QAT PMD.
116
117Instructions for installation are below, but first an explanation of the
118relationships between the PF/VF devices and the PMDs visible to
119DPDK applications.
120
121
122Acceleration services - cryptography and compression - are provided to DPDK
123applications via PMDs which register to implement the corresponding
124cryptodev and compressdev APIs.
125
126Each QuickAssist VF device can expose one cryptodev PMD and/or one compressdev PMD.
127These QAT PMDs share the same underlying device and pci-mgmt code, but are
128enumerated independently on their respective APIs and appear as independent
129devices to applications.
130
131.. Note::
132
133   Each VF can only be used by one DPDK process. It is not possible to share
134   the same VF across multiple processes, even if these processes are using
135   different acceleration services.
136
137   Conversely one DPDK process can use one or more QAT VFs and can expose both
138   cryptodev and compressdev instances on each of those VFs.
139
140
141
142Device and driver naming
143------------------------
144
145* The qat cryptodev driver name is "crypto_qat".
146  The "rte_cryptodev_devices_get()" returns the devices exposed by this driver.
147
148* Each qat crypto device has a unique name, in format
149  "<pci bdf>_<service>", e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_sym".
150  This name can be passed to "rte_cryptodev_get_dev_id()" to get the device_id.
151
152.. Note::
153
154	The qat crypto driver name is passed to the dpdk-test-crypto-perf tool in the "-devtype" parameter.
155
156	The qat crypto device name is in the format of the slave parameter passed to the crypto scheduler.
157
158* The qat compressdev driver name is "qat".
159  The rte_compressdev_devices_get() returns the devices exposed by this driver.
160
161* Each qat compression device has a unique name, in format
162  <pci bdf>_<service>, e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_comp".
163  This name can be passed to rte_compressdev_get_dev_id() to get the device_id.
164

196The ``Driver`` column indicates either the Linux kernel version in which
197support for this device was introduced or a driver available on Intel's 01.org
198website. There are both linux and 01.org kernel drivers available for some
199devices. p = release pending.
200
201If you are running on a kernel which includes a driver for your device, see
202`Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below. Otherwise see
203`Installation using 01.org QAT driver`_.
204
205
206Installation using kernel.org driver
207------------------------------------
208
209The examples below are based on the C62x device, if you have a different device
210use the corresponding values in the above table.
211
212In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either:
213
214* Disable VT-d or
215* Enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
216
217Check that the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
218
219    lsmod | grep qa
220
221You should see the kernel module for your device listed, e.g.::
222
223    qat_c62x               5626  0
224    intel_qat              82336  1 qat_c62x
225
226Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
227
228First find the BDFs (Bus-Device-Function) of the physical functions (PFs) of
229your device, e.g.::
230
231    lspci -d:37c8
232
233You should see output similar to::
234
235    1a:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
236    3d:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
237    3f:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
238
239Enable the VFs for each PF by echoing the number of VFs per PF to the pci driver::
240
241     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:1a:00.0/sriov_numvfs
242     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3d:00.0/sriov_numvfs
243     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3f:00.0/sriov_numvfs
244
245Check that the VFs are available for use. For example ``lspci -d:37c9`` should
246list 48 VF devices available for a ``C62x`` device.
247
248To complete the installation follow the instructions in
249`Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
250
251.. Note::
252
253   If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like ``Failed
254   to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` in kernel logs, this may be as a
255   result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
256
257   Download firmware from the `kernel firmware repo
258   <http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/>`_.
259
260   Copy qat binaries to ``/lib/firmware``::
261
262      cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware
263      cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware
264
265   Change to your linux source root directory and start the qat kernel modules::
266
267      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/intel_qat.ko
268      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_dh895xcc/qat_dh895xcc.ko
269
270
271.. Note::
272
273   If you see the following warning in ``/var/log/messages`` it can be ignored:
274   ``IOMMU should be enabled for SR-IOV to work correctly``.
275
276
277Installation using 01.org QAT driver
278------------------------------------
279
280Download the latest QuickAssist Technology Driver from `01.org
281<https://01.org/packet-processing/intel%C2%AE-quickassist-technology-drivers-and-patches>`_.
282Consult the *Getting Started Guide* at the same URL for further information.
283
284The steps below assume you are:
285
286* Building on a platform with one ``C62x`` device.
287* Using package ``qat1.7.l.4.2.0-000xx.tar.gz``.
288* On Fedora26 kernel ``4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64``.
289
290In the BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and VT-d is disabled.
291
292Uninstall any existing QAT driver, for example by running:
293
294* ``./installer.sh uninstall`` in the directory where originally installed.
295
296
297Build and install the SRIOV-enabled QAT driver::
298
299    mkdir /QAT
300    cd /QAT
301
302    # Copy the package to this location and unpack
303    tar zxof qat1.7.l.4.2.0-000xx.tar.gz
304
305    ./configure --enable-icp-sriov=host
306    make install
307
308You can use ``cat /sys/kernel/debug/qat<your device type and bdf>/version/fw`` to confirm the driver is correctly installed and is using firmware version 4.2.0.
309You can use ``lspci -d:37c9`` to confirm the presence of the 16 VF devices available per ``C62x`` PF.
310
311Confirm the driver is correctly installed and is using firmware version 4.2.0::
312
313    cat /sys/kernel/debug/qat<your device type and bdf>/version/fw
314
315
316Confirm the presence of 48 VF devices - 16 per PF::
317
318    lspci -d:37c9
319
320
321To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
322
323.. Note::
324
325   If using a later kernel and the build fails with an error relating to
326   ``strict_stroul`` not being available apply the following patch:

422Bind to the DPDK uio driver
423~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
424
425Install the DPDK igb_uio driver, bind the VF PCI Device id to it and use lspci
426to confirm the VF devices are now in use by igb_uio kernel driver,
427e.g. for the C62x device::
428
429    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
430    modprobe uio
431    insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko
432    echo "8086 37c9" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
433    lspci -vvd:37c9
434
435
436Another way to bind the VFs to the DPDK UIO driver is by using the
437``dpdk-devbind.py`` script::
438
439    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
440    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:03:01.1
441
442Testing
443~~~~~~~
444
445QAT crypto PMD can be tested by running the test application::
446
447    make defconfig
448    make test-build -j
449    cd ./build/app
450    ./test -l1 -n1 -w <your qat bdf>
451    RTE>>cryptodev_qat_autotest
452
453QAT compression PMD can be tested by running the test application::
454
455    make defconfig
456    sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_COMPRESSDEV_TEST\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
457    make test-build -j
458    cd ./build/app
459    ./test -l1 -n1 -w <your qat bdf>
460    RTE>>compressdev_autotest
461

463Debugging
464----------------------------------------
465
466There are 2 sets of trace available via the dynamic logging feature:
467
468* pmd.qat_dp exposes trace on the data-path.
469* pmd.qat_general exposes all other trace.
470
471pmd.qat exposes both sets of traces.
472They can be enabled using the log-level option (where 8=maximum log level) on
473the process cmdline, e.g. using any of the following::
474
475    --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
476    --log-level="pmd.qat_dp,8"
477    --log-level="pmd.qat,8"
478
479.. Note::
480
481    The global RTE_LOG_DP_LEVEL overrides data-path trace so must be set to
482    RTE_LOG_DEBUG to see all the trace. This variable is in config/rte_config.h
483    for meson build and config/common_base for gnu make.
484    Also the dynamic global log level overrides both sets of trace, so e.g. no
485    QAT trace would display in this case::
486
487	--log-level="7" --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
488
