27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm qat_c2xxx
30.Nd Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) driver for Atom C2000 chipsets
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32To compile this driver into the kernel,
33place the following lines in your
34kernel configuration file:
35.Bd -ragged -offset indent
36.Cd "device crypto"
37.Cd "device cryptodev"
38.Cd "device qat"
39.Ed
40.Pp
41Alternatively, to load the driver as a
42module at boot time, place the following lines in
43.Xr loader.conf 5 :
44.Bd -literal -offset indent
45qat_c2xxx_load="YES"
46qat_c2xxxfw_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51driver implements
52.Xr crypto 4
53support for some of the cryptographic acceleration functions of the Intel
54QuickAssist (QAT) device found on Atom C2000 devices.
55QAT devices are enumerated through PCIe and are thus visible in
56.Xr pciconf 8
57output.
58.Pp
59The
60.Nm
61driver can accelerate AES in CBC, CTR, and GCM modes,
62and can perform authenticated encryption combining the CBC, and CTR modes
63with SHA1-HMAC and SHA2-HMAC.
64The
65.Nm
66driver can also compute SHA1 and SHA2 digests.
67The implementation of AES-GCM has a firmware-imposed constraint that the length
68of any additional authenticated data (AAD) must not exceed 240 bytes.
69The driver thus rejects
70.Xr crypto 9
71requests that do not satisfy this constraint.

80.Sh HISTORY
81The
82.Nm
83driver first appeared in
84.Fx 13.0 .
85.Sh AUTHORS
86The
87.Nm
88driver was written for
89.Nx
90by
91.An Hikaru Abe Aq Mt hikaru@iij.ad.jp .
92.An Mark Johnston Aq Mt markj@FreeBSD.org
93ported the driver to
94.Fx .
95.Sh BUGS
96Some Atom C2000 QAT devices have two acceleration engines instead of one.
97The
98.Nm
99driver currently misbehaves when both are enabled and thus does not enable
100the second acceleration engine if one is present.
