Hi, I compiled octeon openssl engine libocteon.so based on OCTEON-CRYPTO-CORE-1.9.0-60 and OCTEON-ENGINE-LINUX-0.5.0-18. it works fine under linux-2.6.32.15, but while I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.33.5 or 2.6.34, running openssl speed test gives me the following error: ~ # openssl speed -engine octeon rsa1024 Octeon_init success engine "octeon" set. Illegal instruction ~ # openssl speed -engine octeon -evp des Octeon_init success engine "octeon" set. Doing des-cbc for 3s on 16 size blocks: Illegal instruction Here is the compiling output: make[1]: Entering directory `/root/octcrypto/applications/linux_engine/sample' make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/octcrypto/applications/linux_engine/sample' mips64-octeon-linux-gnu-gcc -I/root/octcrypto/target/include -Iconfig -DUSE_RUNTIME_MODEL_CHECKS=1 -DCVMX_ENABLE_PARAMETER_CHECKING=0 -DCVMX_ENABLE_CSR_ADDRESS_CHECKING=0 -DCVMX_ENABLE_POW_CHECKS=0 -g -DOCTEON_MODEL=OCTEON_CN56XX_PASS2 -DOCTEON_TARGET=linux_64 -mabi=64 -march=octeon -msoft-float -Dmain=appmain -I/opt/netone/buildfarm/build_mips64_glibc/linux-2.6.33.5x-mips64-o60h/arch/mips/include -MD -c -o mul_lin.o mul_lin.S mips64-octeon-linux-gnu-gcc -I. -I/opt/netone/buildfarm/build_mips64_glibc/openssl-0.9.8n//include -I/root/octcrypto/components/crypto-api/core/cryptolinux -I/root/octcrypto/executive -O3 -Wall -I/root/octcrypto/target/include -Iconfig -DUSE_RUNTIME_MODEL_CHECKS=1 -DCVMX_ENABLE_PARAMETER_CHECKING=0 -DCVMX_ENABLE_CSR_ADDRESS_CHECKING=0 -DCVMX_ENABLE_POW_CHECKS=0 -DOCTEON_MODEL=OCTEON_CN56XX_PASS2 -DOCTEON_TARGET=linux_64 -mabi=64 -march=octeon -msoft-float -Dmain=appmain -MD -c -o e_octeon.o e_octeon.c mips64-octeon-linux-gnu-gcc -I/root/octcrypto/target/include -Iconfig -DUSE_RUNTIME_MODEL_CHECKS=1 -DCVMX_ENABLE_PARAMETER_CHECKING=0 -DCVMX_ENABLE_CSR_ADDRESS_CHECKING=0 -DCVMX_ENABLE_POW_CHECKS=0 -DOCTEON_MODEL=OCTEON_CN56XX_PASS2 -DOCTEON_TARGET=linux_64 -mabi=64 -march=octeon -msoft-float -Dmain=appmain -shared -o libocteon.so mul_lin.o e_octeon.o -L/opt/netone/buildfarm/build_mips64_glibc/openssl-0.9.8n/ -lcrypto What's happened in the kernel? thanks very much.
