With the removal of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C from the
full config, there are no tests for it remaining in all.sh.
This commit adds a build as well as runs of `make test` and
`ssl-opt.sh` with MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C enabled to all.sh.
Previously, numerous all.sh tests manually disabled the buffer allocator
or memory backtracting after setting a full config as the starting point.
With the removal of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C
from full configs, this is no longer necessary.
This commit re-implements the previously introduced internal
verification chain API in the case where verification callbacks
are disabled. In this situation, it is not necessary to maintain
the list of individual certificates and flags comprising the
verification chain - instead, it suffices to just keep track
of the length and the total (=merged) flags.
When verifying an X.509 certificate, the current verification logic
maintains an instance of the internal mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_chain
structure representing the state of the verification process. This
instance references the list of certificates that comprise the chain
built so far together with their verification flags. This information
must be stored during verification because it's being passed to the
verification callback at the end of verification - if the user has
specified those.
If the user hasn't specified a verification callback, it is not
necessary to maintain the list of CRTs, and it is also not necessary
to maintain verification flags for each CRT individually, as they're
merged at the end of the verification process.
To allow a readable simplification of the code in case no verification
callbacks are used, this commit introduces a zero-cost abstraction layer
for the functionality that's required from the verification chain structure:
- init/reset
- add a new CRT to the chain
- get pointer to current CRT flags
- add flags to EE certificate
- get current chain length
- trigger callbacks and get final (merged) flags
This gives flexibility for re-implementing the verification chain
structure, e.g. in the case where no verification callbacks are
provided, and there's hence no need to store CRTs and flags
individually. This will be done in a later commit.
When MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH is set, both the underlying digest context
and the HMAC data are embedded into the mbedtls_md_context; otherwise,
they're dynamically allocated and referenced from mbedtls_md_context.
When the HMAC data is embedded in mbedtls_md_context, it's unnecessary
to check whether mbedtls_md_context::hmac_ctx is NULL, because that's
never the case in defined behaviour, but the check has kept for
uniformity so far. However, contrary to the expectation that compilers
would silently remove this check as always false, ARMC6 complains about
it, breaking some tests in all.sh.
This commit fixes this by guarding checks for
mbedtls_md_context::hmac_ctx == NULL
by !MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH.
When MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH is set, the underlying digest's
context is embedded into mbedtls_md_context_t, which is
zeroized before the underlying digest's init() function
is called. For those digests where initialization is
zeroization, the init() call can therefore be omitted.
Similarly, when free()-ing an mbedtls_md_context_t, the
entire context is zeroized in the end, hence if the
underlying digest's free() function is zeroization,
it can be omitted.
Recall that in the default configuration, Mbed TLS provides access
digest implementations through two layers of indirection:
1) Call of MD API (e.g. mbedtls_md_update())
2) Call of function pointer from MD info structure
3) Actual digest implementation (e.g. mbedtls_sha256_update()).
Ideally, if only a single digest is enabled - say SHA-256 - then calling
mbedtls_md_update() should _directly_ jump to mbedtls_sha256_update(),
with both layers of indirection removed. So far, however, setting
MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH will only remove the second - function pointer -
layer of indirection, while keeping the non-inlined stub implementations
of e.g. mbedtls_md_update() around.
This commit is a step towards allowing to define implementations of
the MD API as `static inline` in case we know that they are so small
that they should be defined in md.h and not in md.c.
In a nutshell, the approach is as follows: For an MD API function
mbedtls_md_xxx() that should be inlin-able, introduce its implementation
as a `static inline` wrapper `mbedtls_md_xxx_internal()` in md.h,
and then define mbedtls_md_xxx() either in md.h or in md.c, by just
calling mbedtls_md_xxx_internal().
Moving the implementations of those MD API functions that should be
inlinable to md.h requires the presence of both the MD info struct
and all specific digest wrapper functions in md.h, and this is what
this commit ensures, by moving them from md.c into a new internal
header file md_internal.h. Implementing the aforementioned wrappers for
those MD API that should be inlinable is left for subsequent commits.
ARMC5 appears to use the heuristic that as soon as a function's address
is taken, the function can no longer be removed from the resulting object
file (which is not necessarily true if all uses of the functions address
can be inlined).
Circumvent this lack of optimization by not returning function pointers.
This commit modifies check_config.h to check that precisely one
hash is enabled if MBEDTLS_MD_SINGLE_HASH is set.
This is not only a reasonable expectation, it is also necessary,
because test suites assume that if a digest is enabled, it is also
accessible through the MD abstraction layer.
