The previous code writes the content (the EC curve list) of the extension
before writing the extension length field at the beginning, which is common
in the library in places where we don't know the length upfront. Here,
however, we do traverse the EC curve list upfront to infer its length
and do the bounds check, so we can reorder the code to write the extension
linearly and hence improve readability.
ssl_write_supported_elliptic_curves_ext() is guarded by
```
#if defined(MBEDTLS_ECDH_C) || defined(MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C) || \
defined(MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_ECJPAKE_ENABLED)
```
each of which implies (by check_config.h) that MBEDTLS_ECP_C
is enabled.
If the minor/major version is enforced at compile-time, the `major_ver`
and `minor_ver` fields in `mbedtls_ssl_context` are redundant and can
be removed.
This commit introduces the numeric compile-time constants
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MIN_MINOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MAX_MINOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MIN_MAJOR_VER
- MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_MAX_MAJOR_VER
which, when defined, overwrite the runtime configurable fields
mbedtls_ssl_config::min_major_ver etc. in the SSL configuration.
As for the preceding case of the ExtendedMasterSecret configuration,
it also introduces and puts to use getter functions for these variables
which evaluate to either a field access or the macro value, maintaining
readability of the code.
The runtime configuration API mbedtls_ssl_conf_{min|max}_version()
is kept for now but has no effect if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_XXX are set.
This is likely to be changed in a later commit but deliberately omitted
for now, in order to be able to study code-size benefits earlier in the
process.
If MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled, the type
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t
is logically a boolean (concretely realized as `unsigned char`),
containing the invalid handle and the unique valid handle, which
represents the single enabled ciphersuite.
The SSL session structure mbedtls_ssl_session contains an instance
of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t which is guaranteed to be valid,
and which is hence redundant in any two-valued implementation of
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t.
This commit replaces read-uses of
mbedtls_ssl_session::ciphersuite_info
by a getter functions which, and defines this getter function
either by just reading the field from the session structure
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is disabled), or by
returning the single valid ciphersuite handle (in case
MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled) and removing the
field from mbedtls_ssl_session in this case.

The SSL handshake structure mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params contains

This commit modifies the ClientHello writing routine ssl_write_client_hello
in ssl_cli.c to switch between
(a) listing all runtime configured ciphersuites
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is not defined)
(b) listing just the single hardcoded ciphersuite
(in case MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is defined)
The approach taken is to introduce a pair of helper macros
MBEDTLS_SSL_BEGIN_FOR_EACH_CIPHERSUITE( ssl, ver, info )
MBEDTLS_SSL_END_FOR_EACH_CIPHERSUITE
which when delimiting a block of code lead to that block of
code being run once for each ciphersuite that's enabled in the
context `ssl` and version `ver`, referenced through the (fresh)
`info` variable. Internally, this is implemented either through
a plain `for` loop traversing the runtime configured ciphersuite
list (if MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is disabled) or by just
hardcoding `info` to the single enabled ciphersuite (if
MBEDTLS_SSL_SINGLE_CIPHERSUITE is enabled).
These helper macros will prove useful whereever previous code
traversed the runtime configured ciphersuite list, but adaptations
of those occasions outside ClientHello writing are left for later
commits.
This commit introduces an internal zero-cost abstraction layer for
SSL ciphersuites: Instead of addressing ciphersuites via pointers
to instances of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t and accessing their fields
directly, this commit introduces an opaque type
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t,
and getter functions
mbedtls_ssl_suite_get_xxx()
operating on ciphersuite handles.
The role of NULL is played by a new macro constant
MBEDTLS_SSL_CIPHERSUITE_INVALID_HANDLE
which results of functions returning handles can be checked against.
(For example, when doing a lookup of a ciphersuite from a peer-provided
ciphersuite ID in the per's Hello message).
The getter functions have the validity of the handle as a precondition
and are undefined if the handle is invalid.
So far, there's only one implementation of this abstraction layer, namely
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t being mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t const *
and
getter functions being field accesses.
In subsequent commits, however, the abstraction layer will be useful
to save code in the situation where only a single ciphersuite is enabled.

While not strictly related to this PR, this change improves readability in
some resumption-related runtime conditions that previously had rather ugly
preprocessor directives in the middle of already complex predicates.
Due to previous change of conditions, this is now in the 'else' branch of 'if
resume == 1' and the only allowed values are 0 or 1, so setting to 0 is
redundant.
Add a new configuration option MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_RESUMPTION
to enable/disable the session resumption feature including
ticket and cache based session resumption.
`mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::extended_ms` holds the state of the
ExtendedMasterSecret extension in the current handshake. Initially
set to 'disabled' for both client and server,
- the client sets it to 'enabled' as soon as it finds the ExtendedMS
extension in the `ServerHello` and it has advertised that extension
in its ClientHello,
- the server sets it to 'enabled' as soon as it finds the ExtendedMS
extension in the `ClientHello` and is willing to advertise is in its
`ServerHello`.
This commit slightly restructures this logic in prepraration for the
removal of `mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::extended_ms` in case both
the use and the enforcement of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension have
been fixed at compile-time. Namely, in this case there is no need for
the `extended_ms` field in the handshake structure, as the ExtendedMS
must be in use if the handshake progresses beyond the Hello stage.
Paving the way for the removal of mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::extended_ms
this commit introduces a temporary variable tracking the presence of the
ExtendedMS extension in the ClientHello/ServerHello messages, leaving
the derivation of `extended_ms` (and potential failure) to the end of
the parsing routine.
This commit is the first in a series demonstrating how code-size
can be reduced by hardcoding parts of the SSL configuration at
compile-time, focusing on the example of the configuration of
the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
The flexibility of an SSL configuration defined a runtime vs.
compile-time is necessary for the use of Mbed TLS as a
dynamically linked library, but is undesirable in constrained
environments because it introduces the following overhead:
- Definition of SSL configuration API (code-size overhead)
(and on the application-side: The API needs to be called)
- Additional fields in the SSL configuration (RAM overhead,
and potentially code-size overhead if structures grow
beyond immediate-offset bounds).
- Dereferencing is needed to obtain configuration settings.
- Code contains branches and potentially additional structure
fields to distinguish between different configurations.
Considering the example of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension,
this instantiates as follows:
- mbedtls_ssl_conf_extended_master_secret() and
mbedtls_ssl_conf_extended_master_secret_enforced()
are introduced to configure the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
- mbedtls_ssl_config contains bitflags `extended_ms` and
`enforce_extended_master_secret` reflecting the runtime
configuration of the ExtendedMasterSecret extension.
- Whenever we need to access these fields, we need a chain
of dereferences `ssl->conf->extended_ms`.
- Determining whether Client/Server should write the
ExtendedMasterSecret extension needs a branch
depending on `extended_ms`, and the state of the
ExtendedMasterSecret negotiation needs to be stored in a new
handshake-local variable mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::extended_ms.
Finally (that's the point of ExtendedMasterSecret) key derivation
depends on this handshake-local state of ExtendedMasterSecret.
All this is unnecessary if it is known at compile-time that the
ExtendedMasterSecret extension is used and enforced:
- No API calls are necessary because the configuration is fixed
at compile-time.
- No SSL config fields are necessary because there are corresponding
compile-time constants instead.
- Accordingly, no dereferences for field accesses are necessary,
and these accesses can instead be replaced by the corresponding
compile-time constants.
- Branches can be eliminated at compile-time because the compiler
knows the configuration. Also, specifically for the ExtendedMasterSecret
extension, the field `extended_ms` in the handshake structure
is unnecessary, because we can fail immediately during the Hello-
stage of the handshake if the ExtendedMasterSecret extension
is not negotiated; accordingly, the non-ExtendedMS code-path
can be eliminated from the key derivation logic.
A way needs to be found to allow fixing parts of the SSL configuration
at compile-time which removes this overhead in case it is used,
while at the same time maintaining readability and backwards
compatibility.
This commit proposes the following approach:
From the user perspective, for aspect of the SSL configuration
mbedtls_ssl_config that should be configurable at compile-time,
introduce a compile-time option MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_FIELD_NAME.
If this option is not defined, the field is kept and configurable
at runtime as usual. If the option is defined, the field is logically
forced to the value of the option at compile time.
Internally, read-access to fields in the SSL configuration which are
configurable at compile-time gets replaced by new `static inline` getter
functions which evaluate to the corresponding field access or to the
constant MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_FIELD_NAME, depending on whether the latter
is defined or not.
Write-access to fields which are configurable at compile-time needs
to be removed: Specifically, the corresponding API itself either
needs to be removed or replaced by a stub function without effect.
This commit takes the latter approach, which has the benefit of
not requiring any change on the example applications, but introducing
the risk of mismatching API calls and compile-time configuration,
in case a user doesn't correctly keep track of which parts of the
configuration have been fixed at compile-time, and which haven't.
Write-access for the purpose of setting defaults is simply omitted.
If `MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE` is not set, `mbedtls_ssl_session`
contains the digest of the peer's certificate for the sole purpose of
detecting a CRT change on renegotiation. Hence, it is not needed if
renegotiation is disabled.
This commit removes the `peer_cert_digest` fields (and friends) from
`mbedtls_ssl_session` if
`!MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE + !MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION`,
which is a sensible configuration for constrained devices.
Apart from straightforward replacements of
`if !defined(MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE)`
by
`if !defined(MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE) && \
defined(MBEDTLS_SSL_RENEGOTIATION)`,
there's one notable change: On the server-side, the CertificateVerify
parsing function is a no-op if the client hasn't sent a certificate.
So far, this was determined by either looking at the peer CRT or the
peer CRT digest in the SSL session structure (depending on the setting
of `MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE`), which now no longer works if
`MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE` is unset. Instead, this function
now checks whether the temporary copy of the peer's public key within
the handshake structure is initialized or not (which is also a
beneficial simplification in its own right, because the pubkey is
all the function needs anyway).
We must dispatch between the peer's public key stored as part of
the peer's CRT in the current session structure (situation until
now, and future behaviour if MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE is
enabled), and the sole public key stored in the handshake structure
(new, if MBEDTLS_SSL_KEEP_PEER_CERTIFICATE is disabled).

mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate() will fail if a ciphersuite requires
a certificate, but none is provided. While it is sensible to double-
check this, failure should be reported as an internal error and not
as an unexpected message.
