[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] build: add option for armv8 crypto extension

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] build: add option for armv8 crypto extension

[Yongseok Koh]

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. For example,
specifying '-mcpu=cortex-a72' doesn't enable it but '+crypto' is required
in order to enable the feature.

It is also 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.

Therefore, an option to control this feature is necessary. It is still
enabled by default but can be selectively disabled by vendors.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] mk: disable armv8 crypto extension for Mellanox BlueField

[Yongseok Koh]

Mellanox BlueField has a variant which doesn't have armv8 crypto extension.
If crypto enabled binary runs on such a pltform, rte_eal_init() fails. To
have binary compatibility across multiple variants, it is disabled by
default and can be enabled for crypto enabled parts.

How do you plan to support the Bluefield devices with crypto enabled? Do you plan to add another config?

Nope, user will have to enable it by modifying this file or specifying it in make command line.
This is just to provide the default which can make majority of cases work well.
For example, by default, mlx4/5 are even disabled in default x86 build config because
not all users have drv/lib installed on their system. Users have to enable it if they want.

Ok, I suggest documenting it somewhere.

Ok, I suggest documenting it somewhere.

The distro/binary portable image needs to be built without crypto. Only the crypto drivers need to be built with crypto and at run time we need to hook up the correct function pointers. So, IMO, by default crypto should be disabled and should be enabled in specific target machine configs.

I make it enabled by default simply because I don't want to change the current
behavior, no breakage.

If so, It makes sense to disable crypto by default for DPDK as DPDK directly not using any

Good point. I don't know how to handle it either. But, the current distro package will not work on BlueField as it is built with crypto enabled. So, IMO, we should consider it as bug.

You may probably know, cpu w/o crypto is related to the export licenses.
Sometimes, vendor has to disable it when exporting in certain conditions. And as
BlueField is still in early stage, we don't mind much existing distro packages
not being able to run on such parts (BlueField having no crypto).

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] build: disable armv8 crypto extension

[Yongseok Koh]

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.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] build: disable armv8 crypto extension

[Yongseok Koh]

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.

Hi Yongseok,
	We need to enable 'CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_ARMV8_CRYPTO' (which would require a documentation change in [1]). I think this change might have an impact on the existing users. Does this change need to be documented somewhere (at least in the release notes)?

I enabled this and compiled, the compilation fails. Ideally (as discussed in other threads), the PMD code itself does not make use of the crypto instructions, so we should be able to compile the PMDs. Crypto functionality should not be available only if crypto is not available from the CPU or the crypto library is not present. Otherwise, there is no way to use crypto in distro package without recompiling. We can take this up separately.

Like you mentioned, the failure isn't due to lack of '+crypto' flag but the
external library.

CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_ARMV8_CRYPTO is disabled by default because it needs the
external library. In order to enable the config, ARMV8_CRYPTO_LIB_PATH must be
specified. Makefile mandates it.

	ifneq ($(MAKECMDGOALS),clean)
	ifneq ($(MAKECMDGOALS),config)
	ifeq ($(ARMV8_CRYPTO_LIB_PATH),)
	$(error "Please define ARMV8_CRYPTO_LIB_PATH environment variable")
	endif
	endif
	endif

armv8 crypto pmd has nothing to do with '+crypto' cpuflag but the external
library (compiled with '+crypto' flag) has to be linked. Without the external
library, it is meaningless to compile the armv8 crypto PMD because we don't have
any fallback.

In runtime, in order to guarantee the final binary runs w/o crash, it checks
cpuflag of the target host with rte_cpu_get_flag_enabled().

Practically, there would be no impact. Even if user's app makes use of crypto
instructions, the build config of the app should have the flag.

Like you mentioned, the failure isn't due to lack of '+crypto' flag but the
external library.

CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_ARMV8_CRYPTO is disabled by default because it needs the
external library. In order to enable the config, ARMV8_CRYPTO_LIB_PATH must be
specified. Makefile mandates it.

	ifneq ($(MAKECMDGOALS),clean)
	ifneq ($(MAKECMDGOALS),config)
	ifeq ($(ARMV8_CRYPTO_LIB_PATH),)
	$(error "Please define ARMV8_CRYPTO_LIB_PATH environment variable")
	endif
	endif
	endif

armv8 crypto pmd has nothing to do with '+crypto' cpuflag but the external
library (compiled with '+crypto' flag) has to be linked. Without the external
library, it is meaningless to compile the armv8 crypto PMD because we don't have
any fallback.

In runtime, in order to guarantee the final binary runs w/o crash, it checks
cpuflag of the target host with rte_cpu_get_flag_enabled().

Practically, there would be no impact. Even if user's app makes use of crypto
instructions, the build config of the app should have the flag.

On IRC, I could see you concerned about the case where user app derives build
flags from DPDK like apps under the examples directory. Yes, that's a valid
concern.

Thomas/Jerin, where could be the best spot to document it? Just release note?
I think release note would be fine.

Is there any DPDK example application would depend on the armv8 crypto flags? IMO, None of
the applications are directly using armv8 crypto instruction. Even such as comes for any external DPDK
app which is not in dpdk.org tree then it can be added in APP makefile.
IMO, app writes should be aware of the need for using +crypto if he/she using the crypto instruction.

It is not about DPDK's example application. We have control over that.

Agree. But, it might be that the app writer might have depended on the +crypto coming from DPDK build system, in which case, she/he needs to know the change through release notes?

I do not think it needs to be documented anywhere else.

Thank you for the patch! I have tested it on Bluefield reference platform. It works fine. 

One observation:
Even though I used 'make config T=arm64-bluefield-linuxapp-gcc’,
at the end of the build process it said 'Build complete [arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc]’

The BlueField config stems from armv8a.
Unlike Cavium hosts, RTE_MACHINE is still armv8a.
Looks it is same for Broadcom's Stingray.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] build: disable armv8 crypto extension

[Yongseok Koh]

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.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] build: disable armv8 crypto extension

[Yongseok Koh]

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.
