** Description changed: [Testcase] * configure ibmca engine as per below instructions * execute openssl engine -c -vvvv * it should complete without any loading errors + [Impact] + * Out of the box stock configuration results in non-usable engine which errors out + * Thus currently, without workarounds, the acceleration engine does not work. Meaning regression potential is low - openssl-ibmca usually requires libica2 and libica-utils for proper functioning and all required tooling (like icainfo, icastats, etc.) + Please note this is the first time we are integrating openssl-ibmca, and + it is not enabled by default. Hopefully things will be better / more + stable going forward. + + openssl-ibmca usually requires libica2 and libica-utils for proper + functioning and all required tooling (like icainfo, icastats, etc.) But after the installation of these packages and the configuration, with is like this: sudo tee -a /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf < /usr/share/doc/openssl-ibmca/examples/openssl.cnf.sample sudo vi /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf adding the following line as the first active one: openssl_conf = openssl_def and removing or commenting all other occurrences of that line in the config file and saving and closing the openssl.cnf file this output of the openssl engine command is expected: $ openssl engine (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support (ibmca) Ibmca hardware engine support or even more precise these chiphers should be listed in case of "-c": $ openssl engine -c (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support (ibmca) Ibmca hardware engine support [RAND, DES-ECB, DES-CBC, DES-OFB, DES-CFB, DES-EDE3, DES-EDE3-CBC, DES-EDE3-OFB, DES-EDE3-CFB, AES-128-ECB, AES-192-ECB, AES-256-ECB, AES-128-CBC, AES-192-CBC, AES-256-CBC, AES-128-OFB, AES-192-OFB, AES-256-OFB, AES-128-CFB, AES-192-CFB, AES-256-CFB, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512] But instead openssl is giving this error, due to a missing "libica.so": $ openssl engine Error configuring OpenSSL 4395950360208:error:25066067:DSO support routines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the shared library:dso_dlfcn.c:187:filename(libica.so): libica.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 4395950360208:error:25070067:DSO support routines:DSO_load:could not load the shared library:dso_lib.c:233: 4395950360208:error:80066068:lib(128):IBMCA_INIT:dso failure:e_ibmca.c:1286: 4395950360208:error:25066067:DSO support routines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the shared library:dso_dlfcn.c:187:filename(libica.so): libica.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 4395950360208:error:25070067:DSO support routines:DSO_load:could not load the shared library:dso_lib.c:233: 4395950360208:error:80066068:lib(128):IBMCA_INIT:dso failure:e_ibmca.c:1286: 4395950360208:error:260BC066:engine routines:INT_ENGINE_CONFIGURE:engine configuration error:eng_cnf.c:191:section=ibmca_section, name=init, value=1 4395950360208:error:0E07606D:configuration file routines:MODULE_RUN:module initialization error:conf_mod.c:223:module=engines, value=engine_section, retcode=-1 $ There is no libica.so that is shipped with any of the above packages (verified with dpkg -l) or otherwise available in the filesystem: $ sudo find / -name "libica.so" 2>/dev/null ubuntu@HWE0001:~$ But there is a different verison of that libica: $ sudo find / -name "*libica.so*" 2>/dev/null /usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/libica.so.2 /usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/libica.so.2.6.1 $ So there are right now two workarounds: 1) creating a (symbolic) link from libica.so.2 to libica.so, like $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/libica.so.2 /usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/libica.so that allows openssl to find a library named 'libica.so': 18:15:00: frank.hei...@canonical.com: ubuntu@HWE0001:~$ openssl engine (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support (ibmca) Ibmca hardware engine support But this could lead to issues in case of any potential functions or interface changes there we introduced with libica.so.2 2) installation of the "libica-dev" package that provides a (development) version of libica.so: $ dpkg -L libica-dev | grep libica.so /usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/libica.so $ But the hardware crypto exploitation should work out of the box w/o the link or the libica-dev package. Either libica.so should be shipped (in addition to libica.so.2) with the proper dependency to openssl-ibmca - openssh-ibmca should make use of libica2 instead of libica.so.2...
