Hello This is the driver for the Security System included in Allwinner SoC A20. The Security System (SS for short) is a hardware cryptographic accelerator that support AES/MD5/SHA1/DES/3DES/PRNG algorithms. It could be found on others Allwinner SoC: - A10s, A10 and A31 diagram speak about it - A13 manual give the same datasheet for SS than A20 But I do not have access on any of those hardware, tests are welcome. This driver currently supports: - MD5 and SHA1 hash algorithms - AES block cipher in CBC mode with 128/196/256bits keys. - DES and 3DES block cipher in CBC mode - PRNG The driver exposes all those algorithms through the kernel cryptographic API. The driver support only CPU driven (aka poll mode) transfer mode since the DMA engine of the A20 does not have a driver yet. Since it is my first cryptographic driver, I have some questions with it: - When setting .cra_priority to 300 (so more priority than krng), the PRNG seems not to be used (any of the dev_* message was never seen). But something use/lock it, because I cannot unload the module. So for the moment I have set its .cra_priority to 100 and need to investigate more. - Some values of crypto_alg struct are not well documented, what exactly cra_alignmask involves ? - Since SS could only process one request at a time, I have use shash and blkcipher (vs ahash/ablkcipher) does it is a good choice ? I think ahash/ablkcipher would be good if I add an interrupt driven driver, does I am right ? Now speak about performance. The performance are very good, up to x2 for hashing and 30/50% for AES: (r/s means requests per second) - MD5 without SS 10000 requests of 16 bytes in 813409us (0.813409s) 12293.938477r/s 10000 requests of 32 bytes in 824489us (0.824489s) 12128.724609r/s 10000 requests of 64 bytes in 834231us (0.834231s) 11987.087891r/s 10000 requests of 128 bytes in 851992us (0.851992s) 11737.199219r/s 10000 requests of 256 bytes in 866311us (0.866311s) 11543.198242r/s 10000 requests of 512 bytes in 909070us (0.909070s) 11000.252930r/s 10000 requests of 1024 bytes in 956643us (0.956643s) 10453.220703r/s 10000 requests of 2048 bytes in 1086405us (1.086405s) 9204.670898r/s 10000 requests of 4096 bytes in 1338719us (1.338719s) 7469.827637r/s 10000 requests of 8192 bytes in 1867788us (1.867788s) 5353.926758r/s 10000 requests of 16384 bytes in 2972250us (2.972250s) 3364.454590r/s 10000 requests of 32768 bytes in 4945905us (4.945905s) 2021.874634r/s 10000 requests of 65536 bytes in 8971740us (8.971740s) 1114.610962r/s 1000 requests of 131072 bytes in 1705265us (1.705265s) 586.419128r/s 1000 requests of 262144 bytes in 3340201us (3.340201s) 299.383179r/s 1000 requests of 524288 bytes in 6552412us (6.552412s) 152.615555r/s 1000 requests of 1048576 bytes in 13027299us (13.027299s) 76.761887r/s 1000 requests of 2097152 bytes in 25890814us (25.890814s) 38.623737r/s -
