> Subject: [EXT] [PATCH v2] build: disable armv8 crypto extension
> > Per armv8 crypto extension support, make build always enable it by default as
> long as compiler supports the feature while meson build only enables it for
> 'default' machine of generic armv8 architecture.
> 
> It is known that not all the armv8 platforms have the crypto extension. For
> example, Mellanox BlueField has a variant which doesn't have it. If crypto
> enabled binary runs on such a platform, rte_eal_init() fails.
> 
> '+crypto' flag currently implies only '+aes' and '+sha2' and enabling it will
> generate the crypto instructions only when crypto intrinsics are used.
> For the devices supporting 8.2 crypto or newer, compiler could generate such
> instructions beyond intrinsics or asm code. For example, compiler can generate
> 3-way exclusive OR instructions if sha3 is supported. However, it has to be
> enabled by adding '+sha3' as of today.
> 
> In DPDK, armv8 cryptodev is the only one which requires the crypto support.
> As it even uses external library of Marvell which is compiled out of DPDK with
> crypto support and there's run-time check for required cpuflags, crypto support
> can be disabled in DPDK.
