Hashes used in RSA-PSS encoding (EMSA-PSS-ENCODE, see §9.1.1 in RFC
8017):
- H1: Hashing the message (step 2)
- H2: Hashing in the salt (step 6)
- H3: Mask generation function (step 9)
According to the standard:
- H1 and H2 MUST be done by the same hash function
- H3 is RECOMMENDED to be the same as the hash used for H1 and H2.
According to the implementation:
- H1 happens outside of the function call. It might or might not happen
and the implementation might or might not be aware of the hash used.
- H2 happens inside the function call, consistency with H1 is not
enforced and might not even be possible to detect.
- H3 is done with the same hash as H2 (with the exception of
mbedtls_rsassa_pss_verify_ext(), which takes a dedicated parameter for
the hash used in the MGF).
Issues with the documentation:
- The comments weren't always clear about the three hashes involved and
often only mentioned two of them (which two varied from function to
function).
- The documentation was giving the impression that the standard
recommends aligning H2 and H1 (which is not a recommendation but a
must).

Montgomery curves are not in the expected place in the curve list.
This is a bug (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4698), but
until this bug is fixed, document the current behavior and indicate
that it's likely to change.

Mbed OS now provides POSIX-like time functions, although not alarm() nor
signal(). It is possible to implement MBEDTLS_TIMING_ALT on Mbed OS, so
we should not artificially prevent this in check-config. Remove the the
check that prevents implementing MBEDTLS_TIMING_ALT on Mbed OS.
Note that this limitation originally was added in the following commit,
although there isn't much context around why the restriction was
imposed: 63e7ebaaa1 ("Add material for generating yotta module"). In
2015, Mbed OS was quite a different thing: no RTOS, no threads, just an
asynchronous event loop model. I'd suppose the asynchronous event loop
model made it difficult before to implement MBEDTLS_TIMING_C on Mbed OS,
but that is no longer the case.

We stated that curves were listed "in order of preference", but we never
explained what the preference was, so this was not meaningful.

MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE is a compromise between memory usage (growing based
on the value) and performance (faster with larger values). There are
disminishing returns as the value grows larger. Based on Manuel's benchmarks
recorded in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4127, 4 is a good
compromise point, with larger values bringing little advantage. So reduce
the default from 6 to 4.
Document the default value as in optimized for performance mostly, but don't
document the specific value, so we may change it later or make it
platform-dependent.

Since mbedtls_mpi_random() is not specific to ECC code, move it from
the ECP module to the bignum module.
This increases the code size in builds without short Weierstrass
curves (including builds without ECC at all) that do not optimize out
unused functions.

Define the dependency symbols PSA_WANT_ALG_ECDSA_ANY and
PSA_WANT_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW as de facto synonyms of
PSA_WANT_ALG_ECDSA and PSA_WANT_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN respectively: if
either one is requested, the other is set.
This makes it easier to systematically determine the dependencies of
an algorithm.

It makes sense to do the length checking in the core rather than expect
each driver to deal with it themselves. This puts the onus on the core to
dictate which algorithm/key combinations are valid before calling a driver.
Additionally, this commit also updates the psa_mac_sign_finish function
to better deal with output buffer sanitation, as per the review comments
on #4247.

This means there is no longer a need to have an internal HMAC API, so
it is being removed in this commit as well.

The purpose of key_set was to guard the operation structure from being
used for update/finish before a key was set. Now that the implementation
fully adheres to the PSA API, that function is covered by the `alg`
variable instead. It's set to the algorithm in use when a key is set, and
is zero when the operation is reset/invalid.

Apparently it was at some point assumed that there would be
support for MAC algorithms with IV, but that hasn't been
implemented yet. Until that time, these context structure
members are superfluous and can be removed.

Since HMAC moved into its own compilation unit, the internal API needed
to be documented and finalized. This means no more reaching deep into
the operation structure from within the PSA Crypto core. This will make
future refactoring work easier, since internal HMAC is now opaque to the
core.

Modeled after the include chain of the primitive operation contexts.
Also moved the HMAC context structure to the builtin composites file,
since that is where it conceptually belongs. This is a preparatory
step for implementing driver dispatch of MAC multipart operations.

This was probably included by mistake, because the file itself is part
of the inclusion chain starting with crypto.h.

This is a preparatory step in order to be able to organize the include
chain from crypto_struct in such a way that the MAC operation structure
for the PSA 'software' driver can make use of the hash operation structure.
Conceptually:
* Primitives:
* Hash
* Cipher
* Composites:
* AEAD (can use cipher)
* MAC (can use cipher and/or hash)
