This adds support for ifnet (NIC) KTLS using Chelsio T6 adapters.
Unlike the TOE-based KTLS in r353328, NIC TLS works with non-TOE
connections.
NIC KTLS on T6 is not able to use the normal TSO (LSO) path to segment
the encrypted TLS frames output by the crypto engine. Instead, the
TOE is placed into a special setup to permit "dummy" connections to be
associated with regular sockets using KTLS. This permits using the
TOE to segment the encrypted TLS records. However, this approach does
have some limitations:
1) Regular TOE sockets cannot be used when the TOE is in this special
mode. One can use either TOE and TOE-based KTLS or NIC KTLS, but
not both at the same time.
2) In NIC KTLS mode, the TOE is only able to accept a per-connection
timestamp offset that varies in the upper 4 bits. Put another way,
only connections whose timestamp offset has the 28 lower bits
cleared can use NIC KTLS and generate correct timestamps. The
driver will refuse to enable NIC KTLS on connections with a
timestamp offset with any of the lower 28 bits set. To use NIC
KTLS, users can either disable TCP timestamps by setting the
net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 sysctl to 0, or apply a local patch to the
tcp_new_ts_offset() function to clear the lower 28 bits of the
generated offset.
3) Because the TCP segmentation relies on fields mirrored in a TCB in
the TOE, not all fields in a TCP packet can be sent in the TCP
segments generated from a TLS record. Specifically, for packets
containing TCP options other than timestamps, the driver will
inject an "empty" TCP packet holding the requested options (e.g. a
SACK scoreboard) along with the segments from the TLS record.
These empty TCP packets are counted by the
dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_options sysctls.
Unlike TOE TLS which is able to buffer encrypted TLS records in
on-card memory to handle retransmits, NIC KTLS must re-encrypt TLS
records for retransmit requests as well as non-retransmit requests
that do not include the start of a TLS record but do include the
trailer. The T6 NIC KTLS code tries to optimize some of the cases for
requests to transmit partial TLS records. In particular it attempts
to minimize sending "waste" bytes that have to be given as input to
the crypto engine but are not needed on the wire to satisfy mbufs sent
from the TCP stack down to the driver.
TCP packets for TLS requests are broken down into the following
classes (with associated counters):
- Mbufs that send an entire TLS record in full do not have any waste
bytes (dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_full).
- Mbufs that send a short TLS record that ends before the end of the
trailer (dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_short). For sockets using AES-CBC,
the encryption must always start at the beginning, so if the mbuf
starts at an offset into the TLS record, the offset bytes will be
"waste" bytes. For sockets using AES-GCM, the encryption can start
at the 16 byte block before the starting offset capping the waste at
15 bytes.
- Mbufs that send a partial TLS record that has a non-zero starting
offset but ends at the end of the trailer
(dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_partial). In order to compute the
authentication hash stored in the trailer, the entire TLS record
must be sent as input to the crypto engine, so the bytes before the
offset are always "waste" bytes.
In addition, other per-txq sysctls are provided:
- dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_cbc: Count of sockets sent via this txq
using AES-CBC.
- dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_gcm: Count of sockets sent via this txq
using AES-GCM.
- dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_fin: Count of empty FIN-only packets sent to
compensate for the TOE engine not being able to set FIN on the last
segment of a TLS record if the TLS record mbuf had FIN set.
- dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_records: Count of TLS records sent via this
txq including full, short, and partial records.
- dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_octets: Count of non-waste bytes (TLS header
and payload) sent for TLS record requests.
- dev.cc.N.txq.M.kern_tls_waste: Count of waste bytes sent for TLS
record requests.
To enable NIC KTLS with T6, set the following tunables prior to

It is possible to use the chip's offload queues for normal NIC Tx and
not just TOE Tx. The difference is that these queues support out of
order processing of work requests and have a per-"flowid" mechanism for
tracking credits between the driver and hardware. This allows Tx for
any number of flows bound to different rate limits to be submitted to a
single Tx queue and the work requests for slow flows won't cause HOL
blocking for the rest.

The TOE engine in Chelsio T6 adapters supports offloading of TLS
encryption and TCP segmentation for offloaded connections. Sockets
using TLS are required to use a set of custom socket options to upload
RX and TX keys to the NIC and to enable RX processing. Currently
these socket options are implemented as TCP options in the vendor
specific range. A patched OpenSSL library will be made available in a
port / package for use with the TLS TOE support.
TOE sockets can either offload both transmit and reception of TLS
records or just transmit. TLS offload (both RX and TX) is enabled by
setting the dev.t6nex.<x>.tls sysctl to 1 and requires TOE to be
enabled on the relevant interface. Transmit offload can be used on
any "normal" or TLS TOE socket by using the custom socket option to
program a transmit key. This permits most TOE sockets to
transparently offload TLS when applications use a patched SSL library
(e.g. using LD_LIBRARY_PATH to request use of a patched OpenSSL
library). Receive offload can only be used with TOE sockets using the
TLS mode. The dev.t6nex.0.toe.tls_rx_ports sysctl can be set to a
list of TCP port numbers. Any connection with either a local or
remote port number in that list will be created as a TLS socket rather
than a plain TOE socket. Note that although this sysctl accepts an
arbitrary list of port numbers, the sysctl(8) tool is only able to set
sysctl nodes to a single value. A TLS socket will hang without
receiving data if used by an application that is not using a patched
SSL library. Thus, the tls_rx_ports node should be used with care.
For a server mostly concerned with offloading TLS transmit, this node
is not needed as plain TOE sockets will fall back to software crypto
when using an unpatched SSL library.
New per-interface statistics nodes are added giving counts of TLS
packets and payload bytes (payload bytes do not include TLS headers or
authentication tags/MACs) offloaded via the TOE engine, e.g.:
dev.cc.0.stats.rx_tls_octets: 149
dev.cc.0.stats.rx_tls_records: 13
dev.cc.0.stats.tx_tls_octets: 26501823
dev.cc.0.stats.tx_tls_records: 1620
TLS transmit work requests are constructed by a new variant of
t4_push_frames() called t4_push_tls_records() in tom/t4_tls.c.
TLS transmit work requests require a buffer containing IVs. If the
IVs are too large to fit into the work request, a separate buffer is
allocated when constructing a work request. This buffer is associated
with the transmit descriptor and freed when the descriptor is ACKed by
the adapter.
Received TLS frames use two new CPL messages. The first message is a
CPL_TLS_DATA containing the decryped payload of a single TLS record.
The handler places the mbuf containing the received payload on an
mbufq in the TOE pcb. The second message is a CPL_RX_TLS_CMP message
which includes a copy of the TLS header and indicates if there were
any errors. The handler for this message places the TLS header into
the socket buffer followed by the saved mbuf with the payload data.
Both of these handlers are contained in tom/t4_tls.c.
A few routines were exposed from t4_cpl_io.c for use by t4_tls.c
including send_rx_credits(), a new send_rx_modulate(), and
t4_close_conn().
TLS keys for both transmit and receive are stored in onboard memory
in the NIC in the "TLS keys" memory region.
In some cases a TLS socket can hang with pending data available in the
NIC that is not delivered to the host. As a workaround, TLS sockets
are more aggressive about sending CPL_RX_DATA_ACK messages anytime that
any data is read from a TLS socket. In addition, a fallback timer will
periodically send CPL_RX_DATA_ACK messages to the NIC for connections
that are still in the handshake phase. Once the connection has
finished the handshake and programmed RX keys via the socket option,
the timer is stopped.
A new function select_ulp_mode() is used to determine what sub-mode a
given TOE socket should use (plain TOE, DDP, or TLS). The existing
set_tcpddp_ulp_mode() function has been renamed to set_ulp_mode() and
handles initialization of TLS-specific state when necessary in
addition to DDP-specific state.
Since TLS sockets do not receive individual TCP segments but always
receive full TLS records, they can receive more data than is available
in the current window (e.g. if a 16k TLS record is received but the
socket buffer is itself 16k). To cope with this, just drop the window
to 0 when this happens, but track the overage and "eat" the overage as
it is read from the socket buffer not opening the window (or adding
rx_credits) for the overage bytes.

FIXES
-----
BASE:
- Fixed fw crash caused by MC parity error in SO adapters.
- Generate Timer0Int interrupt if fw crashes due to unaligned access error. Host
driver must look into PCIE_FW register to see if any fw fatal error has
encountered. If PCIE_FW doesn't indicate any error then driver must ignore this
interrupt.
- Fixed receive buffer threshold settings which was resulting in error frames on
receive side.
ETH:
- Fixed an issue in connection traffic shaping when
FLOWC_WR->FW_FLOWC_MNEM_SCHEDCLASS is not received in first WR on the connection.
- Fixed link failure when speed is changed from 10G-1G-10G due to incorrect flag
check.
- Fixed improper LED behaviour for blink test and when traffic is running.
- Removed storage of previous fec settings from fw. Driver needs to pass the user
settings whenever a new module is plugged in as fw resets these when a module is
unplugged.

The ccr(4) driver supports use of the crypto accelerator engine on
Chelsio T6 NICs in "lookaside" mode via the opencrypto framework.
Currently, the driver supports AES-CBC, AES-CTR, AES-GCM, and AES-XTS
cipher algorithms as well as the SHA1-HMAC, SHA2-256-HMAC, SHA2-384-HMAC,
and SHA2-512-HMAC authentication algorithms. The driver also supports
chaining one of AES-CBC, AES-CTR, or AES-XTS with an authentication
algorithm for encrypt-then-authenticate operations.
Note that this driver is still under active development and testing and
may not yet be ready for production use. It does pass the tests in
tests/sys/opencrypto with the exception that the AES-GCM implementation
in the driver does not yet support requests with a zero byte payload.
To use this driver currently, the "uwire" configuration must be used
along with explicitly enabling support for lookaside crypto capabilities
in the cxgbe(4) driver. These can be done by setting the following
tunables before loading the cxgbe(4) driver:
hw.cxgbe.config_file=uwire
hw.cxgbe.cryptocaps_allowed=-1

the TOE. For now this capability is always enabled in kernels with
options RATELIMIT. t4_tom will check if_capenable once the base driver
gets code to support rate limiting for any socket (TOE or not).
This was tested with iperf3 and netperf ToT as they already support
SO_MAX_PACING_RATE sockopt. There is a bug in firmwares prior to
1.16.45.0 that affects the BSD driver only and results in rate-limiting
at an incorrect rate. This will resolve by itself as soon as 1.16.45.0
or later firmware shows up in the driver.

The cxgbev/cxlv driver supports Virtual Function devices for Chelsio
T4 and T4 adapters. The VF devices share most of their code with the
existing PF4 driver (cxgbe/cxl) and as such the VF device driver
currently depends on the PF4 driver.
Similar to the cxgbe/cxl drivers, the VF driver includes a t4vf/t5vf
PCI device driver that attaches to the VF device. It then creates
child cxgbev/cxlv devices representing ports assigned to the VF.
By default, the PF driver assigns a single port to each VF.
t4vf_hw.c contains VF-specific routines from the shared code used to
fetch VF-specific parameters from the firmware.
t4_vf.c contains the VF-specific PCI device driver and includes its
own attach routine.
VF devices are required to use a different firmware request when
transmitting packets (which in turn requires a different CPL message
to encapsulate messages). This alternate firmware request does not
permit chaining multiple packets in a single message, so each packet
results in a firmware request. In addition, the different CPL message
requires more detailed information when enabling hardware checksums,
so parse_pkt() on VF devices must examine L2 and L3 headers for all
packets (not just TSO packets) for VF devices. Finally, L2 checksums
on non-UDP/non-TCP packets do not work reliably (the firmware trashes
the IPv4 fragment field), so IPv4 checksums for such packets are
calculated in software.
Most of the other changes in the non-VF-specific code are to expose
various variables and functions private to the PF driver so that they
can be used by the VF driver.
Note that a limited subset of cxgbetool functions are supported on VF
devices including register dumps, scheduler classes, and clearing of
statistics. In addition, TOE is not supported on VF devices, only for
the PF interfaces.

routines available in t4_tom to manage the iSCSI DDP page pod region.
This adds the ability to use multiple DDP page sizes to the iSCSI
driver, among other improvements.
Sponsored by: Chelsio Communications
Chelsio NICs are a bit unique compared to some other NICs in that they
expose different functionality on different physical functions. In
particular, PF4 is used to manage the NIC interfaces ('t4nex' and 't5nex').
However, PF4 is not able to create VF devices. Instead, VFs are only
supported by physical functions 0 through 3. This commit adds 't4iov'
and 't5iov' drivers that attach to PF0-3.
One extra wrinkle is that the iov devices cannot enable SR-IOV until the
firwmare has been initialized by the main PF4 driver. To handle this
case, a new t4_if kobj interface has been added to permit cross-calls
between the PF drivers. The PF4 driver notifies sibling drivers when it
is fully attached. It also requests sibling drivers to detach before it
detaches. Sibling drivers query the PF4 driver during their attach
routine to see if it is attached. If not, the sibling drivers defer
their attach actions until the PF4 driver informs them it is attached.
VF devices are associated with a single port on the NIC. VF devices
created from PF0 are associated with the first port on the NIC, VFs
from PF1 are associated with the second port, etc. VF devices can
only be created from a PF device that has an associated port. Thus,
on a 2-port card, VFs are only supported on PF0 and PF1.
