78* No BSD support as BSD QAT kernel driver not available.
79* ZUC EEA3/EIA3 is not supported by dh895xcc devices
80* Maximum additional authenticated data (AAD) for GCM is 240 bytes long.
81* Queue pairs are not thread-safe (that is, within a single queue pair, RX and TX from different lcores is not supported).
82
83
84Extra notes on KASUMI F9
85~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
86
87When using KASUMI F9 authentication algorithm, the input buffer must be
88constructed according to the
89`3GPP KASUMI specification <http://cryptome.org/3gpp/35201-900.pdf>`_
90(section 4.4, page 13). The input buffer has to have COUNT (4 bytes),
91FRESH (4 bytes), MESSAGE and DIRECTION (1 bit) concatenated. After the DIRECTION
92bit, a single '1' bit is appended, followed by between 0 and 7 '0' bits, so that
93the total length of the buffer is multiple of 8 bits. Note that the actual
94message can be any length, specified in bits.
95
96Once this buffer is passed this way, when creating the crypto operation,
97length of data to authenticate "op.sym.auth.data.length" must be the length
98of all the items described above, including the padding at the end.
99Also, offset of data to authenticate "op.sym.auth.data.offset"
100must be such that points at the start of the COUNT bytes.

105
106Building PMDs on QAT
107--------------------
108
109A QAT device can host multiple acceleration services:
110
111* symmetric cryptography
112* data compression
113
114These services are provided to DPDK applications via PMDs which register to
115implement the corresponding cryptodev and compressdev APIs. The PMDs use
116common QAT driver code which manages the QAT PCI device. They also depend on a
117QAT kernel driver being installed on the platform, see :ref:`qat_kernel` below.
118
119
120Configuring and Building the DPDK QAT PMDs
121~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
122
123
124Further information on configuring, building and installing DPDK is described
125`here <http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html>`_.
126
127
128Quick instructions for QAT cryptodev PMD are as follows:
129
130.. code-block:: console
131
132	cd to the top-level DPDK directory
133	make defconfig
134	sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
135	make
136
137Quick instructions for QAT compressdev PMD are as follows:
138
139.. code-block:: console
140
141	cd to the top-level DPDK directory
142	make defconfig
143	make
144
145
146Build Configuration
147~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
148
149These are the build configuration options affecting QAT, and their default values:
150
151.. code-block:: console
152
153	CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT=y
154	CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM=n
155	CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_MAX_PCI_DEVICES=48
156	CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_COMP_SGL_MAX_SEGMENTS=16
157
158CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT must be enabled for any QAT PMD to be built.
159
160The QAT cryptodev PMD has an external dependency on libcrypto, so is not
161built by default. CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT_SYM should be enabled to build it.
162
163The QAT compressdev PMD has no external dependencies, so needs no configuration
164options and is built by default.
165
166The number of VFs per PF varies - see table below. If multiple QAT packages are
167installed on a platform then CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_MAX_PCI_DEVICES should be
168adjusted to the number of VFs which the QAT common code will need to handle.
169Note, there is a separate config item for max cryptodevs CONFIG_RTE_CRYPTO_MAX_DEVS,
170if necessary this should be adjusted to handle the total of QAT and other devices
171which the process will use.
172
173QAT allocates internal structures to handle SGLs. For the compression service
174CONFIG_RTE_PMD_QAT_COMP_SGL_MAX_SEGMENTS can be changed if more segments are needed.
175An extra (max_inflight_ops x 16) bytes per queue_pair will be used for every increment.
176
177
178Device and driver naming
179~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
180
181* The qat cryptodev driver name is "crypto_qat".
182  The "rte_cryptodev_devices_get()" returns the devices exposed by this driver.
183
184* Each qat crypto device has a unique name, in format
185  "<pci bdf>_<service>", e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_sym".
186  This name can be passed to "rte_cryptodev_get_dev_id()" to get the device_id.
187
188.. Note::
189
190	The qat crypto driver name is passed to the dpdk-test-crypto-perf tool in the "-devtype" parameter.
191
192	The qat crypto device name is in the format of the slave parameter passed to the crypto scheduler.
193
194* The qat compressdev driver name is "compress_qat".
195  The rte_compressdev_devices_get() returns the devices exposed by this driver.
196
197* Each qat compression device has a unique name, in format
198  <pci bdf>_<service>, e.g. "0000:41:01.0_qat_comp".
199  This name can be passed to rte_compressdev_get_dev_id() to get the device_id.
200
201.. _qat_kernel:
202
203Dependency on the QAT kernel driver
204~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
205
206To use QAT an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The VF
207devices created and initialised by this driver will be used by the QAT PMDs.
208
209Instructions for installation are below, but first an explanation of the
210relationships between the PF/VF devices and the PMDs visible to
211DPDK applications.
212
213Each QuickAssist PF device exposes a number of VF devices. Each VF device can
214enable one cryptodev PMD and/or one compressdev PMD.
215These QAT PMDs share the same underlying device and pci-mgmt code, but are
216enumerated independently on their respective APIs and appear as independent
217devices to applications.
218
219.. Note::
220
221   Each VF can only be used by one DPDK process. It is not possible to share
222   the same VF across multiple processes, even if these processes are using
223   different acceleration services.
224
225   Conversely one DPDK process can use one or more QAT VFs and can expose both
226   cryptodev and compressdev instances on each of those VFs.
227
228
229Available kernel drivers

231
232Kernel drivers for each device are listed in the following table. Scroll right
233to check that the driver and device supports the service you require.

258
259The ``Driver`` column indicates either the Linux kernel version in which
260support for this device was introduced or a driver available on Intel's 01.org
261website. There are both linux and 01.org kernel drivers available for some
262devices. p = release pending.
263
264If you are running on a kernel which includes a driver for your device, see
265`Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below. Otherwise see
266`Installation using 01.org QAT driver`_.
267
268
269Installation using kernel.org driver
270~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
271
272The examples below are based on the C62x device, if you have a different device
273use the corresponding values in the above table.
274
275In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either:
276
277* Disable VT-d or
278* Enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
279
280Check that the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
281
282    lsmod | grep qa
283
284You should see the kernel module for your device listed, e.g.::
285
286    qat_c62x               5626  0
287    intel_qat              82336  1 qat_c62x
288
289Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
290
291First find the BDFs (Bus-Device-Function) of the physical functions (PFs) of
292your device, e.g.::
293
294    lspci -d:37c8
295
296You should see output similar to::
297
298    1a:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
299    3d:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
300    3f:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
301
302Enable the VFs for each PF by echoing the number of VFs per PF to the pci driver::
303
304     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:1a:00.0/sriov_numvfs
305     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3d:00.0/sriov_numvfs
306     echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3f:00.0/sriov_numvfs
307
308Check that the VFs are available for use. For example ``lspci -d:37c9`` should
309list 48 VF devices available for a ``C62x`` device.
310
311To complete the installation follow the instructions in
312`Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
313
314.. Note::
315
316   If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like ``Failed
317   to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` in kernel logs, this may be as a
318   result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
319
320   Download firmware from the `kernel firmware repo
321   <http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/>`_.
322
323   Copy qat binaries to ``/lib/firmware``::
324
325      cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware
326      cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware
327
328   Change to your linux source root directory and start the qat kernel modules::
329
330      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/intel_qat.ko
331      insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_dh895xcc/qat_dh895xcc.ko
332
333
334.. Note::
335
336   If you see the following warning in ``/var/log/messages`` it can be ignored:
337   ``IOMMU should be enabled for SR-IOV to work correctly``.
338
339
340Installation using 01.org QAT driver
341~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
342
343Download the latest QuickAssist Technology Driver from `01.org
344<https://01.org/packet-processing/intel%C2%AE-quickassist-technology-drivers-and-patches>`_.
345Consult the *Getting Started Guide* at the same URL for further information.
346
347The steps below assume you are:
348
349* Building on a platform with one ``C62x`` device.
350* Using package ``qat1.7.l.4.2.0-000xx.tar.gz``.
351* On Fedora26 kernel ``4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64``.
352
353In the BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and VT-d is disabled.
354
355Uninstall any existing QAT driver, for example by running:
356
357* ``./installer.sh uninstall`` in the directory where originally installed.
358
359
360Build and install the SRIOV-enabled QAT driver::
361
362    mkdir /QAT
363    cd /QAT
364
365    # Copy the package to this location and unpack
366    tar zxof qat1.7.l.4.2.0-000xx.tar.gz
367
368    ./configure --enable-icp-sriov=host
369    make install
370
371You 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.
372You can use ``lspci -d:37c9`` to confirm the presence of the 16 VF devices available per ``C62x`` PF.
373
374Confirm the driver is correctly installed and is using firmware version 4.2.0::
375
376    cat /sys/kernel/debug/qat<your device type and bdf>/version/fw
377
378
379Confirm the presence of 48 VF devices - 16 per PF::
380
381    lspci -d:37c9
382
383
384To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
385
386.. Note::
387
388   If using a later kernel and the build fails with an error relating to
389   ``strict_stroul`` not being available apply the following patch:

423      sudo yum install libudev-devel
424
425.. Note::
426
427   If the build or install fails due to mismatching kernel sources you may need to do the following::
428
429      sudo yum install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
430      sudo yum install kernel-src-`uname -r`
431      sudo yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r`

485Bind to the DPDK uio driver
486^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
487
488Install the DPDK igb_uio driver, bind the VF PCI Device id to it and use lspci
489to confirm the VF devices are now in use by igb_uio kernel driver,
490e.g. for the C62x device::
491
492    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
493    modprobe uio
494    insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko
495    echo "8086 37c9" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id
496    lspci -vvd:37c9
497
498
499Another way to bind the VFs to the DPDK UIO driver is by using the
500``dpdk-devbind.py`` script::
501
502    cd to the top-level DPDK directory
503    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:03:01.1

505Testing
506~~~~~~~
507
508QAT crypto PMD can be tested by running the test application::
509
510    make defconfig
511    make test-build -j
512    cd ./build/app
513    ./test -l1 -n1 -w <your qat bdf>
514    RTE>>cryptodev_qat_autotest
515
516QAT compression PMD can be tested by running the test application::
517
518    make defconfig
519    sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_COMPRESSDEV_TEST\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
520    make test-build -j
521    cd ./build/app
522    ./test -l1 -n1 -w <your qat bdf>
523    RTE>>compressdev_autotest
524
525
526Debugging
527~~~~~~~~~
528
529There are 2 sets of trace available via the dynamic logging feature:
530
531* pmd.qat_dp exposes trace on the data-path.
532* pmd.qat_general exposes all other trace.
533
534pmd.qat exposes both sets of traces.
535They can be enabled using the log-level option (where 8=maximum log level) on
536the process cmdline, e.g. using any of the following::
537
538    --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
539    --log-level="pmd.qat_dp,8"
540    --log-level="pmd.qat,8"
541
542.. Note::
543
544    The global RTE_LOG_DP_LEVEL overrides data-path trace so must be set to
545    RTE_LOG_DEBUG to see all the trace. This variable is in config/rte_config.h
546    for meson build and config/common_base for gnu make.
547    Also the dynamic global log level overrides both sets of trace, so e.g. no
548    QAT trace would display in this case::
549
550	--log-level="7" --log-level="pmd.qat_general,8"
