random: remove hifn(4)
The Hifn 7955 & 7956 only supports deprecated & NIST disallowed algorithms (NIST SP800-224idp): SHA1 and SHA1-HMAC. Furthermore the entropy RNG of the Hifn 7751, 7951, 7811, 7955, and 7956 has no NIST Entropy Source Validation (ESV) certificate and cannot be used in a FIPS-140-3 nor Common Criteara environment. Furthermore the most prolific instance for FreeBSD was the Soekris Engineering vpn1201, vpn1211, vpn1401, and vpn1411 offerings. These are all 32-bit only processors. The i386 kernel was de-supported in 15.0. Reviewed by: jhb Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D53182

.Nd Hifn 7751/7951/7811/7955/7956 crypto accelerator
|
||||
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||||
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
||||
place the following lines in your
|
||||
kernel configuration file:
|
||||
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
||||
.Cd "device crypto"
|
||||
.Cd "device cryptodev"
|
||||
.Cd "device hifn"
|
||||
.Ed
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
||||
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
||||
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
||||
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||
hifn_load="YES"
|
||||
.Ed
|

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver supports various cards containing the Hifn 7751, 7951,
|
||||
7811, 7955, and 7956 chipsets.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver registers itself to accelerate
|
||||
AES (7955 and 7956 only),
|
||||
SHA1, and SHA1-HMAC operations for
|
||||
.Xr ipsec 4
|
||||

|
||||
.Xr crypto 4 .

.Tn 7811 ,
|

.Sh HISTORY
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
device driver appeared in
|
||||
.Ox 2.7 .
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
device driver was imported to
|
||||
.Fx 5.0 .
|
||||
.Sh CAVEATS
|
||||
The Hifn 9751 shares the same PCI ID.
|
||||
This chip is basically a 7751, but with the cryptographic functions missing.
|
||||
Instead, the 9751 is only capable of doing compression.
|
||||
Since we do not currently attempt to use any of these chips to do
|
||||
compression, the 9751-based cards are not useful.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Support for the 7955 and 7956 is incomplete; the asymmetric crypto
|
||||
facilities are to be added and the performance is suboptimal.
|
||||
.Sh BUGS
|
||||
The 7751 chip starts out at initialization by only supporting compression.
|
||||
A proprietary algorithm, which has been reverse engineered, is required to
|
||||
unlock the cryptographic functionality of the chip.
|
||||
It is possible for vendors to make boards which have a lock ID not known
|
||||
to the driver, but all vendors currently just use the obvious ID which is
|
||||
13 bytes of 0.
