Hello, This patch series adds a new driver supporting Marvell's CESA IP. This driver addresses some limitations of the existing one. >From a performance and CPU load point of view the most important limitation in the existing driver is the lack of DMA support, thus preventing us from chaining crypto operations. I know we usually try to adapt existing drivers instead of replacing them by new ones, but after trying to refactor the mv_cesa driver I realized it would take longer than writing an new one from scratch. Here are the main features brought by this new driver: - support for armada SoCs (up to 38x) while keeping support for older ones (Orion and Kirkwood). Note that old DT bindings (those used on Orion and Kirkwood platforms) are supported, or IOTW, old DTs are compatible with this new driver. - DMA mode to offload the CPU in case of intensive crypto usage - new algorithms: SHA256, DES and 3DES I'd like to thank Arnaud, who has carefully reviewed several iterations of this driver, helped me improved my implementation, provided support for several crypto algorithms, provided support for armada-370 and tested the driver on different platforms, hence the SoB and dual MODULE_AUTHOR in the driver code. In this version I dropped the DT changes, but you'll find them in my cesa-v4 branch [1]. In this branch you'll find everything you need to test on all Marvell platforms (including the old ones). I'll post a series updating all the DTs once this driver has been merged. Best Regards, Boris [1]https://github.com/bbrezillon/linux-marvell/tree/cesa-v4 Changes since v3: - add import functions for hash algorithms - patch mv_cesa driver to support the new DT bindings - few fixes in the documentation - replace mv_mbus_dram_info() call by mv_mbus_dram_info_nooverlap() - remove DT updates from the series Changes since v2: - fixes in the cipher code (->dst_nents was assigned the ->src_nents value and CBC state was overwritten by the IV after each chunk operation) - spit the code as suggested by Sebastian Changes since v1: - (suggested by Jason) kept the existing CESA driver and added a mechanism to prevent the new driver from probing devices handled my the existing one (Orion and Kirkwood platforms) - (reported by Paul) addressed a few Kconfig and module definition issues - (suggested by Andrew) added DT changes to the series Arnaud Ebalard (4): crypto: marvell/CESA: add Triple-DES support crypto: marvell/CESA: add MD5 support crypto: marvell/CESA: add SHA256 support crypto: marvell/CESA: add support for Kirkwood and Dove SoCs Boris Brezillon (10): crypto: mv_cesa: document the clocks property crypto: mv_cesa: use gen_pool to reserve the SRAM memory region crypto: mv_cesa: explicitly define kirkwood and dove compatible strings crypto: add a new driver for Marvell's CESA crypto: marvell/CESA: add TDMA support crypto: marvell/CESA: add DES support crypto: marvell/CESA: add support for all armada SoCs crypto: marvell/CESA: add allhwsupport module parameter crypto: marvell/CESA: add support for Orion SoCs crypto: marvell/CESA: add DT bindings documentation .../devicetree/bindings/crypto/marvell-cesa.txt | 45 + .../devicetree/bindings/crypto/mv_cesa.txt | 31 +- drivers/crypto/Kconfig | 18 + drivers/crypto/Makefile | 1 + drivers/crypto/marvell/Makefile | 2 + drivers/crypto/marvell/cesa.c | 544 ++++++++ drivers/crypto/marvell/cesa.h | 804 +++++++++++ drivers/crypto/marvell/cipher.c | 774 +++++++++++ drivers/crypto/marvell/hash.c | 1433 ++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/crypto/marvell/tdma.c | 224 +++ drivers/crypto/mv_cesa.c | 60 +- 11 files changed, 3912 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/crypto/marvell-cesa.txt create mode 100644 drivers/crypto/marvell/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/crypto/marvell/cesa.c create mode 100644 drivers/crypto/marvell/cesa.h create mode 100644 drivers/crypto/marvell/cipher.c create mode 100644 drivers/crypto/marvell/hash.c create mode 100644 drivers/crypto/marvell/tdma.c -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
