The AF_ALG socket family is the userspace interface for linux crypto API, users can use it to access hardware accelerators.
This patchset adds a afalg-backend for qemu crypto subsystem. Currently when performs encrypt/decrypt, we'll try afalg-backend first and will back to libiary-backend if it failed. In the next step, It would support a command parameter to specifies which backends prefer to and some other improvements. I measured the performance about the afalg-backend impls, I tested how many data could be encrypted in 5 seconds. NOTE: If we use specific hardware crypto cards, I think afalg-backend would even faster. test-environment: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz *sha256* chunk_size(bytes) MB/sec(afalg:sha256-ssse3) MB/sec(nettle) 512 93.03 185.87 1024 146.32 201.78 2048 213.32 210.93 4096 275.48 215.26 8192 321.77 217.49 16384 349.60 219.26 32768 363.59 219.73 65536 375.79 219.99 *hmac(sha256)* chunk_size(bytes) MB/sec(afalg:sha256-ssse3) MB/sec(nettle) 512 71.26 165.55 1024 117.43 189.15 2048 180.96 203.24 4096 247.60 211.38 8192 301.99 215.65 16384 340.79 218.22 32768 365.51 219.49 65536 377.92 220.24 *cbc(aes128)* chunk_size(bytes) MB/sec(afalg:cbc-aes-aesni) MB/sec(nettle) 512 371.76 188.41 1024 559.86 189.64 2048 768.66 192.11 4096 939.15 192.40 8192 1029.48 192.49 16384 1072.79 190.52 32768 1109.38 190.41 65536 1102.38 190.40 --- Changes since v1: - use "make check-speed" to testing the performance. [Daniel] - put private definations into crypto/***priv.h. [Daniel] - remove afalg socket from qapi-schema, put them into crypto/. [Daniel] - some Error report change. [Daniel] - s/QCryptoAfalg/QCryptoAFAlg. [Daniel] - use snprintf with bounds checking instead of sprintf. [Daniel] - use "qcrypto_afalg_" prefix and "qcrypto_nettle(gcrypt,glib,builtin)_" prefix. [Daniel] - add testing results in cover-letter.
