This driver adds support for the Realtek crypto engine. It provides hardware
accelerated AES, SHA1 & MD5 algorithms. It is included in SoCs of the RTL838x
series, such as RTL8380, RTL8381, RTL8382, as well as SoCs from the RTL930x
series, such as RTL9301, RTL9302 and RTL9303. Some little endian and ARM based
Realtek SoCs seem to have this engine too. Nevertheless this patch was only
developed and verified on MIPS big endian devices.
Module has been successfully tested with
- lots of module loads/unloads with crypto manager extra tests enabled.
- openssl devcrypto benchmarking
- tcrypt.ko benchmarking
Benchmarks from tcrypt.ko mode=600, 402, 403 sec=5 on a 800 MHz RTL9301 SoC can
be summed up as follows:
- with smallest block sizes the engine is 8-10 times slower than software
- sweet spot (harware speed = software speed) starts at 256 byte blocks
- With large blocks the engine is round about 2 times faster than software
- md5 performance is always worse than software
op/s with default software algorithms:
