- it's 2020, there shouldn't be too many systems out there where SHA-1 is the
only available hash option, so its usefulness is limited
- OTOH testing configurations without SHA-2 reveal bugs that are not easy to
fix in a fully compatible way
So overall, the benefit/cost ratio is not good enough to justify keeping SHA-1
as a fallback option here.

The previous commit introduced a potential memory overread by reading
secret_len bytes from secret->p, while the is no guarantee that secret has
enough limbs for that.
Fix that by using an intermediate buffer and mpi_write_binary().

The dependency on a DRBG module was perhaps a bit strict for LTS branches, so
let's have an option that works with no DRBG when at least one SHA module is
present.
This changes the internal API of ecp_drbg_seed() by adding the size of the
MPI as a parameter. Re-computing the size from the number of limbs doesn't
work too well here as we're writing out to a fixed-size buffer and for some
curves (P-521) that would round up too much. Using mbedtls_mpi_get_len() is
not entirely satisfactory either as it would mean using a variable-length
encoding, with could open side channels.

Checking the budget only after the randomization is done means sometimes we
were randomizing first, then noticing we ran out of budget, return, come back
and randomize again before we finally normalize.
While this is fine from a correctness and security perspective, it's a minor
inefficiency, and can also be disconcerting while debugging, so we might as
well avoid it.

Unless MBEDTLS_ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG is defined, it's no longer possible for
f_rng to be NULL at the places that randomize coordinates.
Eliminate the NULL check in this case:
- it makes it clearer to reviewers that randomization always happens (unless
the user opted out at compile time)
- a NULL check in a place where it's easy to prove the value is never NULL
might upset or confuse static analyzers (including humans)
- removing the check saves a bit of code size

Currently we draw pseudo-random numbers at the beginning and end of the main
loop. With ECP_RESTARTABLE, it's possible that between those two occasions we
returned from the multiplication function, hence lost our internal DRBG
context that lives in this function's stack frame. This would result in the
same pseudo-random numbers being used for blinding in multiple places. While
it's not immediately clear that this would give rise to an attack, it's also
absolutely not clear that it doesn't. So let's avoid that by using a DRBG
context that lives inside the restart context and persists across
return/resume cycles. That way the RESTARTABLE case uses exactly the
same pseudo-random numbers as the non-restartable case.
Testing and compile-time options:
- The case ECP_RESTARTABLE && !ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG is already tested by
component_test_no_use_psa_crypto_full_cmake_asan.
- The case ECP_RESTARTABLE && ECP_NO_INTERNAL_RNG didn't have a pre-existing
test so a component is added.
Testing and runtime options: when ECP_RESTARTABLE is enabled, the test suites
already contain cases where restart happens and cases where it doesn't
(because the operation is short enough or because restart is disabled (NULL
restart context)).

While it seems cleaner and more convenient to set it in the top-level
mbedtls_ecp_mul() function, the existence of the restartable option changes
things - when it's enabled the drbg context needs to be saved in the restart
context (more precisely in the restart_mul sub-context), which can only be
done when it's allocated, which is in the curve-specific mul function.
This commit only internal drbg management from mbedtls_ecp_mul() to
ecp_mul_mxz() and ecp_mul_comb(), without modifying behaviour (even internal),
and a future commit will modify the ecp_mul_comb() version to handle restart
properly.

The case of MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE isn't handled correctly yet: in that case
the DRBG instance should persist when resuming the operation. This will be
addressed in the next commit.
When both CTR_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG are available, CTR_DRBG is preferred since
both are suitable but CTR_DRBG tends to be faster and I needed a tie-breaker.
There are currently three possible cases to test:
- NO_INTERNAL_RNG is set -> tested in test_ecp_no_internal_rng
- it's unset and CTR_DRBG is available -> tested in the default config
- it's unset and CTR_DRBG is disabled -> tested in
test_ecp_internal_rng_no_ctr_drbg

This commit uses the previously defined macro to uniformize
bounds checks in several places. It also adds bounds checks to
the ClientHello writing function that were previously missing.
Also, the functions adding extensions to the ClientHello message
can now fail if the buffer is too small or a different error
condition occurs, and moreover they take an additional buffer
end parameter to free them from the assumption that one is
writing to the default output buffer.

The function mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs first checked that A >= B and then
performed the subtraction, relying on the fact that A >= B to
guarantee that the carry propagation would stop, and not taking
advantage of the fact that the carry when subtracting two numbers can
only be 0 or 1. This made the carry propagation code a little hard to
follow.
Write an ad hoc loop for the carry propagation, checking the size of
the result. This makes termination obvious.
The initial check that A >= B is no longer needed, since the function
now checks that the carry propagation terminates, which is equivalent.
This is a slight performance gain.

There was some confusion during review about when A->p[n] could be
nonzero. In fact, there is no need to set A->p[n]: only the
intermediate result d might need to extend to n+1 limbs, not the final
result A. So never access A->p[n]. Rework the explanation of the
calculation in a way that should be easier to follow.

The function mpi_sub_hlp had confusing semantics: although it took a
size parameter, it accessed the limb array d beyond this size, to
propagate the carry. This made the function difficult to understand
and analyze, with a potential buffer overflow if misused (not enough
room to propagate the carry).
Change the function so that it only performs the subtraction within
the specified number of limbs, and returns the carry.
Move the carry propagation out of mpi_sub_hlp and into its caller
mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs. This makes the code of subtraction very slightly
less neat, but not significantly different.
In the one other place where mpi_sub_hlp is used, namely mpi_montmul,
this is a net win because the carry is potentially sensitive data and
the function carefully arranges to not have to propagate it.

mpi_sub_hlp performs a subtraction A - B, but took parameters in the
order (B, A). Swap the parameters so that they match the usual
mathematical syntax.
This has the additional benefit of putting the output parameter (A)
first, which is the normal convention in this module.

In mpi_montmul, an auxiliary function for modular
exponentiation (mbedtls_mpi_mod_exp) that performs Montgomery
multiplication, the last step is a conditional subtraction to force
the result into the correct range. The current implementation uses a
branch and therefore may leak information about secret data to an
adversary who can observe what branch is taken through a side channel.
Avoid this potential leak by always doing the same subtraction and
doing a contant-trace conditional assignment to set the result.

This reverts commit 2cc69fffcf.
A check was added in mpi_montmul because clang-analyzer warned about a
possibly null pointer. However this was a false positive. Recent
versions of clang-analyzer no longer emit a warning (3.6 does, 6
doesn't).
Incidentally, the size check was wrong: mpi_montmul needs
T->n >= 2 * (N->n + 1), not just T->n >= N->n + 1.
Given that this is an internal function which is only used from one
public function and in a tightly controlled way, remove both the null
check (which is of low value to begin with) and the size check (which
would be slightly more valuable, but was wrong anyway). This allows
the function not to need to return an error, which makes the source
code a little easier to read and makes the object code a little
smaller.

When parsing a certificate with the basic constraints extension
the max_pathlen that was read from it was incremented regardless
of its value. However, if the max_pathlen is equal to INT_MAX (which
is highly unlikely), an undefined behaviour would occur.
This commit adds a check to ensure that such value is not accepted
as valid. Relevant tests for INT_MAX and INT_MAX-1 are also introduced.
Certificates added in this commit were generated using the
test_suite_x509write, function test_x509_crt_check. Input data taken
from the "Certificate write check Server1 SHA1" test case, so the generated
files are like the "server1.crt", but with the "is_ca" field set to 1 and
max_pathlen as described by the file name.
