Status at a glance:
...
- Latest Draft Scalar Crypto Specification (v0.9.0)
- Stable
- What's next:Needs translation into Currently being translated to ASCIIDOC.
- This work is documented in issue #89
- Got a skeleton ASCIIDOC spec compiling and using the right styles.
- Converting it section by section. Not converting things which might change in opcode review yet.
- We will need to incorporate results of OpCode consistency review from Ken, once available
- The opcode and consistency review dashboard is here.
- Our ETA is currently May 15'th 2021.
- Next version will include any feedback from opcode consistency review, plus any small cleanups and editorial work.See dev/next-release branch of our repo.
- The new asciidoc spec will be released as a non-functional change to give people a chance to get used to the new layout.
- aes32* and sm4* encodings will change to remove the `rt` field.
- Change aes64ks1i "rcon" immediate to "rnum".
- v1.0.0 will be the public review versionRemove packu[w] since they aren't needed for our usecase of packing bytes into words. We can use other pack instructions.
- Break Zbk into smaller units: (Zbkc: clmul*, Zbkx: xperm.*, Zbkb: everything else)
- Entropy source changes, including configurable access to the entropy source from S mode.
Encoding/OpCode consistency review
...
- Test plan for the scalar-crypto specific instructions is available.
- Imperas have a complete set of tests, written to the existing test plan, for the scalar crypto instructions and the bitmanip instructions we borrow.
- These have been merged into the main test suite as of PR#177, with many thanks to Imperas for the contribution.
- Spike, OVPSim and Sail all agree on the test signatures.
- They form a base we can use to develop prototype implementations / Spike / SAIL / QEMU very easily and quickly.
- These have been merged into the main test suite as of PR#177, with many thanks to Imperas for the contribution.
- Upstream Spike support for enabling it to work with the K test suite is being added in PR#687.
- IIT Madras are also looking at writing the scalar crypto tests for integration into the official architectural tests repo as well.
- Agreed SoW for IITM
- They are re-implementing the tests as part of the blessed coverage and test generation tooling.
- Making good progress with the simple test patterns for scalar-crypto specific instructions A/O April 7'th '21
- We then switch over to using the IIT tests when they are finished, since they will be easier to maintain/extend going forward than the Imperas tests.
- YAML config changes for K have been merged in. See here.
- Status from IIT Madras as on 20-May:
- Real world test cases as per the test plan has been generated.
- Currently waiting for the fixed toolchain with K extension from PLCT to test the generated test cases. All the test cases are working fine when we run against the patched toolchain
- A PR has been raised with a pull request for this suite to be reviewed and merged in the riscv-arch tests github repo.
- Status from IIT Madras as on 12-May:
- Coverage report for all developed cases in CTG/ISAC has been generated and it is reported as 100%
- Currently real world test cases are being developed as per test plan and will be completed and send for review by beginning of next week
- Status from IIT Madras as on 05-May:
- Resolved issues in running the rv64ik toolchain after interacting with PLCT and compile the relevant tests generated from CTG and run them on spike
- Currently resolving issues in the running the rv64ibk toolchain. Once this is done, will generate the coverage report of the test cases built till now and share with team.
- Status from IIT Madras as on 26-Apr:
- Completed the coverage points specification for all 32-bit and 64-bit instructions
- Generated test cases from the coverage points
- Currently working on trying to install the scalar crypto enabled toolchain.
