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.

Let code analyzers know that this is deliberate. For example MSVC
warns about the conversion if it's implicit.

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.

Separate out a version of mpi_safe_cond_assign that works on
equal-sized limb arrays, without worrying about allocation sizes or
signs.

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.

If Y was constructed through functions in this module, then Y->n == 0
iff Y->p == NULL. However we do not prevent filling mpi structures
manually, and zero may be represented with n=0 and p a valid pointer.
Most of the code can cope with such a representation, but for the
source of mbedtls_mpi_copy, this would cause an integer underflow.
Changing the test for zero from Y->p==NULL to Y->n==0 causes this case
to work at no extra cost.
In the case of *ret we might need to preserve a 0 value throughout the
loop and therefore we need an extra condition to protect it from being
overwritten.
The value of done is always 1 after *ret has been set and does not need
to be protected from overwriting. Therefore in this case the extra
condition can be removed.
The code relied on the assumptions that CHAR_BIT is 8 and that unsigned
does not have padding bits.
In the Bignum module we already assume that the sign of an MPI is either
-1 or 1. Using this, we eliminate the above mentioned dependency.
The signature of mbedtls_mpi_cmp_mpi_ct() meant to support using it in
place of mbedtls_mpi_cmp_mpi(). This meant full comparison functionality
and a signed result.
To make the function more universal and friendly to constant time
coding, we change the result type to unsigned. Theoretically, we could
encode the comparison result in an unsigned value, but it would be less
intuitive.
Therefore we won't be able to represent the result as unsigned anymore
and the functionality will be constrained to checking if the first
operand is less than the second. This is sufficient to support the
current use case and to check any relationship between MPIs.
The only drawback is that we need to call the function twice when
checking for equality, but this can be optimised later if an when it is
needed.
Multiplication is known to have measurable timing variations based on
the operands. For example it typically is much faster if one of the
operands is zero. Remove them from constant time code.

2. add a comment explaining safety of the optimization;
3. safer T2 initialization and memory zeroing on the function exit;

Add little endian import to Bignum
The function `mbedtls_mpi_write_binary()` writes big endian byte order,
but we need to be able to write little endian in some caseses. (For
example when handling keys corresponding to Montgomery curves.)
Used `echo xx | tac -rs ..` to transform the test data to little endian.
The private keys used in ECDH differ in the case of Weierstrass and
Montgomery curves. They have different constraints, the former is based
on big endian, the latter little endian byte order. The fundamental
approach is different too:
- Weierstrass keys have to be in the right interval, otherwise they are
rejected.
- Any byte array of the right size is a valid Montgomery key and it
needs to be masked before interpreting it as a number.
Historically it was sufficient to use mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() to read
private keys, but as a preparation to improve support for Montgomery
curves we add mbedtls_ecp_read_key() to enable uniform treatment of EC
keys.
For the masking the `mbedtls_mpi_set_bit()` function is used. This is
suboptimal but seems to provide the best trade-off at this time.
Alternatives considered:
- Making a copy of the input buffer (less efficient)
- removing the `const` constraint from the input buffer (breaks the api
and makes it less user friendly)
- applying the mask directly to the limbs (violates the api between the
modules and creates and unwanted dependency)
The function `mbedtls_mpi_read_binary()` expects big endian byte order,
but we need to be able to read from little endian in some caseses. (For
example when handling keys corresponding to Montgomery curves.)
Used `echo xx | tac -rs .. | tr [a-z] [A-Z]` to transform the test data
to little endian and `echo "ibase=16;xx" | bc` to convert to decimal.
In mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod(), the limit check on wsize is never true when
MBEDTLS_MPI_WINDOW_SIZE is at least 6. Wrap in a preprocessor guard
to remove the dead code and resolve a Coverity finding from the
DEADCODE checker.
