Bug 348325 – dev-libs/openssl: Patch to add via padlock support to openssl for the x86_64 architecture

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Richard F. Ostrow Jr. 2010-12-10 01:45:20 UTC]

Found a patch under redhat bug reports (see URL) that seems to work to allow via padlock engine support for x86_64 architectures (ie, Via Nano processors). Tests on my system show that the patch allows the padlock engine to load, whereas before the padlock engine would fail to load. Not yet tested in practice... I know there are a lot of people waiting for this capability - if this works (suggest confirmation first), suggest incorporating into tree.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run 'openssl engine padlock' with  dev-libs/openssl installed
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Gives error upon attempting to load the padlock engine module

Expected Results:  
Should load and utilize the padlock engine module

sorry, but unless the patch has been merged into the upstream openssl cvs, we're going to pass on it
