jhb 70a3719bb8 Add a driver for the Chelsio T6 crypto accelerator engine.
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

.Sh NAME
.Nm ccr
.Nd "Chelsio T6 crypto accelerator driver"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indeunt
.Cd "device ccr"
.Ed
.Pp
To load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
ccr_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for the crypto accelerator engine included on
PCI Express Ethernet adapters based on the Chelsio Terminator 6 ASIC (T6).
The driver accelerates AES-CBC, AES-CTR, AES-GCM, AES-XTS, SHA1-HMAC,
SHA2-256-HMAC, SHA2-384-HMAC, and SHA2-512-HMAC operations for
.Xr crypto 4
and
.Xr ipsec 4 .
The driver also supports chaining one of AES-CBC, AES-CTR, or AES-XTS with
SHA1-HMAC, SHA2-256-HMAC, SHA2-384-HMAC, or SHA2-512-HMAC for
encrypt-then-authenticate operations.
For further hardware information and questions related to hardware
requirements, see
.Pa http://www.chelsio.com/ .
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver attaches as a child of an existing Chelsio NIC device and thus
requires that the
.Xr cxgbe 4
driver be active.
.Sh HARDWARE
The
.Nm
driver supports the crypto accelerator engine included on adapters
based on the T6 ASIC:
