ZUC Crypto Poll Mode Driver
===========================
The ZUC PMD (**librte_crypto_zuc**) provides poll mode crypto driver support for
utilizing `Intel IPSec Multi-buffer library <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_
which implements F8 and F9 functions for ZUC EEA3 cipher and EIA3 hash algorithms.
Features
--------
ZUC PMD has support for:
Cipher algorithm:
* RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_ZUC_EEA3
Authentication algorithm:
* RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_ZUC_EIA3
.. note::
The latest v1.3 add ARM64 port of ipsec-mb library support ARM platform.
Limitations
-----------
* Chained mbufs are not supported.
* ZUC (EIA3) supported only if hash offset field is byte-aligned.
* ZUC (EEA3) supported only if cipher length, cipher offset fields are byte-aligned.
ZUC PMD vs AESNI MB PMD
-----------------------
AESNI MB PMD also supports ZUC cipher and authentication algorithms.
It is recommended to use the AESNI MB PMD,
which offers better performance on Intel processors.
Take a look at the PMD documentation (:doc:`aesni_mb`) for more information.
Installation
------------
To build DPDK with the ZUC_PMD the user is required to download the multi-buffer
library and compile it on their user system before building DPDK.
For x86 system, the multi-buffer library is available
`here <https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb>`_.
The latest version of the library supported by this PMD is v1.3, which
can be downloaded from `<https://github.com/01org/intel-ipsec-mb/archive/v1.3.zip>`_.
For Arm system, ARM64 port of the multi-buffer library can be downloaded from
`<https://gitlab.arm.com/arm-reference-solutions/ipsec-mb/-/tree/main/>`_. The
latest version of the library supported by this PMD is tagged as SECLIB-IPSEC-2022.05.25.
After downloading the library, the user needs to unpack and compile it
on their system before building DPDK:
.. code-block:: console
make
make install
The library requires NASM to be built on x86. Depending on the library version,
it might require a minimum NASM version (e.g. v0.54 requires at least NASM 2.14).
NASM is packaged for different OS. However, on some OS the version is too old,
so a manual installation is required. In that case, NASM can be downloaded from
`NASM website <https://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/?C=M;O=D>`_.
Once it is downloaded, extract it and follow these steps:
.. code-block:: console
./configure
make
make install
.. note::
Compilation of the Multi-Buffer library is broken when GCC < 5.0, if library <= v0.53.
If a lower GCC version than 5.0, the workaround proposed by the following link
should be used: `<https://github.com/intel/intel-ipsec-mb/issues/40>`_.
As a reference, the following table shows a mapping between the past DPDK versions
and the external crypto libraries supported by them:
.. _table_zuc_versions:
.. table:: DPDK and external crypto library version compatibility
============= ================================
DPDK version Crypto library version
============= ================================
16.11 - 19.11 LibSSO ZUC
20.02 - 21.08 Multi-buffer library 0.53 - 1.3*
21.11+ Multi-buffer library 1.0 - 1.3*
============= ================================
\* Multi-buffer library 1.0 or newer only works for Meson but not Make build system.
Initialization
--------------
In order to enable this virtual crypto PMD, user must:
* Build the multi buffer library (explained in Installation section).
To use the PMD in an application, user must:
* Call rte_vdev_init("crypto_zuc") within the application.
* Use --vdev="crypto_zuc" in the EAL options, which will call rte_vdev_init() internally.
The following parameters (all optional) can be provided in the previous two calls:
* socket_id: Specify the socket where the memory for the device is going to be allocated
(by default, socket_id will be the socket where the core that is creating the PMD is running on).
* max_nb_queue_pairs: Specify the maximum number of queue pairs in the device (8 by default).
* max_nb_sessions: Specify the maximum number of sessions that can be created (2048 by default).
Example:
.. code-block:: console
./dpdk-l2fwd-crypto -l 1 -n 4 --vdev="crypto_zuc,socket_id=0,max_nb_sessions=128" \
-- -p 1 --cdev SW --chain CIPHER_ONLY --cipher_algo "zuc-eea3"
