CAAM cryptodev speed

yilingxu — Thu, 27 Dec 2018 11:14:55 GMT

I run Linux version 4.9.11-1.0.0 on Imx6q, I want to see whether cryptodev can speed up encryption/decryption.

I do this test many times, only one time the test result match what "i.mx_Linux_User's_Guide.pdf " suggests I should see(Start cryptodev will accelerate encryption/decryption). Others show me a different story, It seems cryptodev doesn't work at all. What's wrong?

The test results as follow:

root@imx6qsabresd:~# modprobe -r cryptodev
cryptodev: driver unloaded.
root@imx6qsabresd:~# sudo openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc -engine cryptodev

Dear yilingxu‌,

After unloading cryptodev module,you should remove -engine cryptodev in your second command line.

# openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc‍

And than you can compare the results.

Regards

Maro

Hi Maro,

I do this test again, but the result still not good, it seems 3s is the normal speed, but cryptodev does not speed up.

the test result as follow:

root@imx6qsabresd:/# modprobe cryptodev
cryptodev: driver 1.8 loaded.
root@imx6qsabresd:/# openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc -engine cryptodev

Besides, I find cryptodev.ko directly in rootfs (/lib/modules/ 4.9.11-1.0.0+gc27010d/extra), but I can't find cryptodev source code in linux kernel code download from nxp git . So where can I get cryptodev source code?

Thanks,

Yiling Xu

Dear Yiling,

Please run the following command to be sure that AES-CBC is supported by your Cryptodev.

$ openssl engine cryptodev -c

Cryptodev can be added to your board by adding it to the Yocto recipe or in Buildroot menuconfig.

You can also clone it from the repository here and build it manually.
