Anyone gotten cryptodev-linux working for kirkwood (Debian Squeeze)

Has anyone succesfully gotten openssl patched to use the Marvell Kirkwoods AES hardware acceleration?
I've found these links detailing part of the process :
link1
link2
link3
But I'm running kernel 2.6.32-5-kirkwood and some of the links in the scripts are dead (http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/with-linux/kernel/2/2.6/2.6.38/2.6.38.8/sheeva-2.6.38.8.config)
Any help appreciated.

get the latest openssl source code 1.0.1c as of my writeing and just compile it with -DHAVE_CRYPTODEV no patches needed last time i compiled it. then compile and install the cryptodev module.

I got as far as make with openssl and then it spazzed out on me. Could you take a look?
You did this all on debian squeeze also? I'd already successfully compiled and loaded / unloaded the module.

Hi wooglez,

have you tried it 'the Debian way'?

you can actually download the source package with the whole build env that was used to build the package that is in the archives. Edit it and you will get a package that you can install and uninstall whenever you like.

Now, I see that the most recent version on Squeeze is 0.9.8o, so you have to get the source package from the wheezy repository.
Add the following two lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:

 deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
 deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main

do a

 sudo apt-get update

and go through the following procedure:

 # install some necessities:
 sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev debhelper=9.20120608~bpo60+1

 # install the source ball:
 apt-get source openssl    # that's right: NO 'sudo'

 cd openssl-1.0.1c/
 vi debian/rules
 # edit the CONFARGS variable to contain -DHAVE_CRYPTODEV

 # the following may tell you that some development libraries and stuff like m4 are missing, so install them and repeat the command:
 dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
 # go enjoy a beverage of your choice...

 # at last:
 sudo dpkg -i ../openssl_1.0.1c-4_armel.deb

and you should have it installed.

I installed it on a Dreamplug, but under wheezy, though the procedure I suggest contains extra steps which should make it work under squeeze. But your mileage may vary, as I have not thoroughly tested them.

I hope that helps,

cheers,

Do I understand correctly, that additionally kernel support with headers need to be present?
eng_cryptodev.c:57:30: fatal error: crypto/cryptodev.h: No such file or directory

t1m thanks so much for your excellent response, you have no idea how much I've been searching to get this working on my pogo. I actually prefer to do things the debian way but I was finding very little in the way of steps or resources to get this working. So I truly appreciate the time you put into such a detailed post. However I'm still failing at the last step. I'm currently re-running 'dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc' with a log to post so someone can see where I went wrong. I'll link it in my next followup post.

Hi wooglez,

glad I could be of help.

maybe the following will also help. The output you attached to your second post looks like you haven't got 'libc6-dev' installed (standard C headers like stdlib.h come with it, and they seem to be missing in your installation).

therefore my tip: install libc6-dev :)

hth,

cheers,

t1m

Yes, you have to install the cryptodev kernel module and development files.

If you followed the instructions detailed under Link2 from the OP, you should get the header installed in /usr/include/crypto.

hey t1m,
I've actually got libc6-dev installed, I can't find a good way to log the output from the dpkg-buildpakage command. I'm attempting to tee it to a seperate file but it's ending before the error messages start occuring.
Here's my command :
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc |tee -i ../build_openssl_output.log
(moved up a directory so it doesn't try to build it)

EDIT
output is here: http://paste.debian.net/203714/
unfortunately it's not logging where it errors out
I managed to get some of them here: http://paste.debian.net/203713/
but there's a bit of overlap

Hi wooglez,

it seems you have not done the
make install
in the crypto-dev source. This way, the include files will be installed into /usr/include/crypto and should be found by the compiler/preprocessor. The error you posted shows that the headers of the crypto-device are missing.

cheers,

t1m

sorry for the delay, I am quite busy...

Try with
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc 2>&1 | tee -i ../build_openssl_output.log

hey t1m,
I'm pretty sure I did make install when getting compiling the cryptodev module. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding. I redid make install in my cryptodev-20091126/ directory and it shows some headers in /usr/include/crypto as well as having a module that inserts correctly. I'm still getting the same error running dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc however. Let me know if there's a better medium to contact you via (perhaps IRC?) no need to apologize, I'm really grateful I'm getting any help on this at all.

revisiting this thread again,
turns out I didn't have the crypto headers in /usr/include/crypto like t1m was suggesting. re-installing crypto-dev with

make 
make install

added them correctly now.
I then re-ran as root.

dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

runs much longer now, the end however still errors out.
