Installation Instruction

Build and install OpenSSL

    git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl.git
    cd openssl
    // For openssl1.1.1f
    git checkout -b opensssl1.1 OpenSSL_1_1_1f
    // for openssl 3.0
    git checkout -b openssl3.0 openssl-3.0.0
    ./config
    make
    sudo make install
    openssl version

Setup env on-demand

    $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
    $ pkg-config libcrypto --libs
    -L/usr/local/lib -lcrypto

    $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

Build and install UADK

    git clone https://github.com/Linaro/uadk.git
    cd uadk
    ./cleanup.sh
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

• If get error:"cannot find -lnuma", please install the libnuma-dev
• If get error:"fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory", please install zlib.

Build and install UADK Engine

For openssl 1.1

    git clone https://github.com/Linaro/uadk_engine.git
    cd uadk_engine
    autoreconf -i
    ./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib/engines-1.1/ [--enable-kae]
    make
    sudo make install

    Option --enable-kae can be chosen to enable KAE for non-sva version

For openssl 3.0

    git clone https://github.com/Linaro/uadk_engine.git
    cd uadk_engine
    autoreconf -i
    ./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib/ossl-modules/
    make
    sudo make install

Testing

    ./test/sanity_test.sh

Install libraries to the temp folder

Install all libraries to a temp folder like /tmp/build for debugging purposes.
If so, PKG_CONFIG_PATH has to be exported to ensure the env is set up correctly.
The pkg-config can be used for double-checking env.

    $ cd openssl
    $ ./config --prefix=/tmp/build
    $ make; make install

    $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/tmp/build/lib/pkgconfig/
    $ pkg-config libcrypto --libs
    -L/tmp/build/lib -lcrypto

    $ cd uadk
    $ ./autogen.sh
    $ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/build
    $ make; make install

    $ pkg-config libwd --libs
    -L/tmp/build/lib -lwd

    $ cd uadk_engine
    $ autoreconf -i
    $ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/build
    $ make; make install

    // For openssl 1.1
    $ openssl engine -c /tmp/build/lib/uadk_engine.so
    $ ./test/sanity_test.sh /tmp/build/lib/uadk_engine.so

    // For openssl 3.0
    $ openssl speed -provider /tmp/build/lib/uadk_provider.so -provider default -evp md5
    $ ./test/sanity_test.sh /tmp/build/lib/uadk_provider.so

Environment variable of uadk engine

Introduction

Through the environment variable function, users can configure the number of
queue resources that can be applied by different algorithms by setting the
algorithm switch in the openssl.cnf file.

Usage

#. Firstly, modify the openssl.cnf file, add the following settings at the beginning of this file:

openssl_conf=openssl_def
[openssl_def]
engines=engine_section
[engine_section]
uadk_engine=uadk_section
[uadk_section]
UADK_CMD_ENABLE_RSA_ENV=1
UADK_CMD_ENABLE_DH_ENV=1
UADK_CMD_ENABLE_CIPHER_ENV=1
UADK_CMD_ENABLE_DIGEST_ENV=1
UADK_CMD_ENABLE_ECC_ENV=1

Note:

• The number 1 for enable environment variable, and 0 for disable environment variable.
• By default, you can find openssl.cnf file under /usr/local/ssl/ path.

#. Secondly, use "export" command to set queue number. For example,

export WD_RSA_CTX_NUM="sync:2@0,async:4@0"
export WD_DH_CTX_NUM="sync:2@0,async:4@0"
export WD_CIPHER_CTX_NUM="sync:2@2,async:4@2"
export WD_DIGEST_CTX_NUM="sync:2@2,async:4@2"
export WD_ECC_CTX_NUM="sync:2@0,async:4@0"

Note:

• You can write these commands into ~/.bashrc file and source it, or just input temporarily.
• "sync" indicates synchronous mode, "async" indicates asynchronous mode.
• "sync:2@0" means request 2 queues on numa-0 node, under synchronous mode.
• "async:2@0" means request 2 queues on numa-0 node, under asynchronous mode.
• If you do not perform the second step, the engine will use the default
  setting:"sync:2@0, async:2@0" to request queues from hardware.
