Hardware description:
|
|
=====================
|
|
Crypto 3E provides cipher and hash algorithms as defined in the
|
|
3GPP forum specifications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Software description
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
The driver is a Linux platform device driver. For an msm target,
|
|
there can be multiple crypto devices assigned for QCEDEV.
|
|
|
|
The driver is a misc device driver as well.
|
|
The following operations are registered in the driver,
|
|
-qcedev_ioctl()
|
|
-qcedev_open()
|
|
-qcedev_release()
|
|
|
|
The following IOCTLS are available to the user space application(s)-
|
|
|
|
Cipher IOCTLs:
|
|
--------------
|
|
QCEDEV_IOCTL_ENC_REQ is for encrypting data.
|
|
QCEDEV_IOCTL_DEC_REQ is for decrypting data.
|
|
|
|
Hashing/HMAC IOCTLs
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
QCEDEV_IOCTL_SHA_INIT_REQ is for initializing a hash/hmac request.
|
|
QCEDEV_IOCTL_SHA_UPDATE_REQ is for updating hash/hmac.
|
|
QCEDEV_IOCTL_SHA_FINAL_REQ is for ending the hash/mac request.
|
|
QCEDEV_IOCTL_GET_SHA_REQ is for retrieving the hash/hmac for data
|
|
packet of known size.
|
|
QCEDEV_IOCTL_GET_CMAC_REQ is for retrieving the MAC (using AES CMAC
|
|
algorithm) for data packet of known size.
|
|
|
|
The requests are synchronous. The driver will put the process to
|
|
sleep, waiting for the completion of the requests using wait_for_completion().
|
|
|
|
Since the requests are coming out of user space application, before giving
|
|
the requests to the low level qce driver, the ioctl requests and the
|
|
associated input/output buffer will have to be safe checked, and copied
|
|
to/from kernel space.
|
|
|
|
The extra copying of requests/buffer can affect the performance. The issue
|
|
with copying the data buffer is resolved by having the client use PMEM
|
|
allocated buffers.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Using memory allocated via PMEM is supported only for in place
|
|
operations where source and destination buffers point to the same
|
|
location. Support for different source and destination buffers
|
|
is not supported currently.
|
|
Furthermore, when using PMEM, and in AES CTR mode, when issuing an
|
|
encryption or decryption request, a non-zero byteoffset is not
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
The design of the driver is to allow multiple open, and multiple requests
|
|
to be issued from application(s). Therefore, the driver will internally queue
|
|
the requests, and serialize the requests to the low level qce (or qce40) driver.
|
|
|
|
On an IOCTL request from an application, if there is no outstanding
|
|
request, a the driver will issue a "qce" request, otherwise,
|
|
the request is queued in the driver queue. The process is suspended
|
|
waiting for completion.
|
|
|
|
On completion of a request by the low level qce driver, the internal
|
|
tasklet (done_tasklet) is scheduled. The sole purpose of done_tasklet is
|
|
to call the completion of the current active request (complete()), and
|
|
issue more requests to the qce, if any.
|
|
When the process wakes up from wait_for_completion(), it will collect the
|
|
return code, and return the ioctl.
|
|
|
|
A spin lock is used to protect the critical section of internal queue to
|
|
be accessed from multiple tasks, SMP, and completion callback
|
|
from qce.
|
|
|
|
The driver maintains a set of statistics using debug fs. The files are
|
|
in /debug/qcedev/stats1, /debug/qcedev/stats2, /debug/qcedev/stats3;
|
|
one for each instance of device. Reading the file associated with
|
|
a device will retrieve the driver statistics for that device.
|
|
Any write to the file will clear the statistics.
|
|
|

Power Management
|
|
================
|
|
n/a
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interface:
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Linux user space applications will need to open a handle
|
|
(file desrciptor) to the qcedev device. This is achieved by doing
|
|
the following to retrieve a file desrciptor to the device.
|
|
|
|
fd = open("/dev/qce", O_RDWR);
|
|
..
|
|
ioctl(fd, ...);
|
|
|
|
Once a valid fd is retrieved, user can call the following ioctls with
|
|
the fd as the first parameter and a pointer to an appropriate data
|
|
structure, qcedev_cipher_op_req or qcedev_sha_op_req (depending on
|
|
cipher/hash functionality) as the second parameter.
|
|
|
|
The following IOCTLS are available to the user space application(s)-
|
|
|
|

Module parameters:
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The following module parameters are defined in the board init file.
|
|

|
|
These parameters differ in each platform.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dependencies:
|
|
=============
|
|
qce driver. Please see Documentation/arm/msm/qce.txt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
User space utilities:
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
none
|
|
|
|
Known issues:
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
none.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To do:
|
|
======
|
|
Enhance Cipher functionality:
|
|
(1) Add support for handling > 32KB for ciphering functionality when
|
|
- operation is not an "in place" operation (source != destination).
|
|
(when using PMEM allocated memory)
|
|
|
|
Limitations:
|
|
============
|
|
(1) In case of cipher functionality, Driver does not support
|
|
a combination of different memory sources for source/destination.
|
|
In other words, memory pointed to by src and dst,
|
|
must BOTH (src/dst) be "pmem" or BOTH(src/dst) be "vbuf".
|
|
|
|
(2) In case of hash functionality, driver does not support handling data
|
|
buffers allocated via PMEM.
|
|
|
|
(3) Do not load this driver if your device already has kernel space apps
|
|
that need to access the crypto hardware.
|
|
Make sure to have qcedev module disabled/unloaded and implement your user
|
|
space application to use the software implemenation (ex: openssl/crypto)
|
|
of the crypto algorithms.
|
|
(NOTE: Please refer to details on the limitations listed in qce.txt)
|
|
|
|
(4) If your device has Playready (Windows Media DRM) application enabled
|
|
and uses the qcedev module to access the crypto hardware accelarator,
|
|
please be informed that for performance reasons, the CE hardware will
|
|
need to be dedicated to playready application. Any other user space
|
|
application should be implemented to use the software implemenation
|
|
(ex: openssl/crypto) of the crypto algorithms.
