* Restore unintentionally removed whitespace and
formatting improvements.
* Consistently rename MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_EXPORT_UNSUPPORTED
to MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION in rsa.h
documentation.
During the work on the RSA change the issue was brought up,
and a fix was provided on development, that some RSA tests
use CTR DRBG and depend on the presence of a strong entropy
source to succeed. The RSA work introduced more tests using
CTR DRBG, and the dependency needs to be added for them, too.
Add --keep-going mode to all.sh. In this mode, if a test fails, keep
running the subsequent tests. If a build fails, skip any tests of this
build and move on to the next tests. Errors in infrastructure, such as
git or cmake runs, remain fatal. Print an error summary at the end of
the run, and return a nonzero code if there was any failure.
In known terminal types, use color to highlight errors.
On a fatal signal, interrupt the run and report the errors so far.
1. Surround the generate keys with
`#if ! defined(MBEDTLS_CMAC_ALT) || defined(MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST)`
to resolve build issue when `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` is defined for
alternative CMAC as well
2. Update ChangeLog
Increase the duration of the self test, otherwise it tends to fail on
a busy machine even with the recently upped tolerance. But run the
loop only once, it's enough for a simple smoke test.
mbedtls_timing_self_test fails annoyingly often when running on a busy
machine such as can be expected of a continous integration system.
Increase the tolerances in the delay test, to reduce the chance of
failures that are only due to missing a deadline on a busy machine.
If timing_timer_simple fails because it detects that timers are likely
to never expire (e.g. going backward or not incrementing), skip all
tests that rely on timers.
Do test mbedtls_timing_hardclock. We can't reliably test much about
it, but at least test that it doesn't crash, isn't constant, and
doesn't look completely random.
New set of unit tests for the timing module, instead of just running
the selftest function.
The selftest function sometimes fails on a heavily loaded
machine (such as a typical continuous integration system). Because of
the all-in-one nature of the test and because the exact load pattern
can be hard to reproduce, it is difficult to diagnose failures of CI
runs with selftest. The new tests are more separated and I strove to
point out potential failure modes in comments.
* mbedtls_timing_hardclock: not tested. This function gives so few
guarantees that there isn't much to test, and it is hard to test
reliably because clock cycles don't easily relate to time in any
remotely portable way. This function isn't used in the library
anyway, it's only there for benchmark programs.
* mbedtls_timing_get_timer: tested by setting a timer and verifying
that it reaches its target, and by verifying that a timer started
later than another always has a smaller elapsed time.
* mbedtls_set_alarm: tested by setting an alarm, busy-waiting for it
and measuring the elapsed time with a timer.
* mbedtls_timing_set_delay, mbedtls_timing_get_delay: tested by
setting a delay object and watching it go through its two delay
values, using a timer to check that the delays are passed at the
expected time.
The tests pass under light to moderate load, but some of them can be
defeated with sufficiently heavy load. This is unavoidable since the
test process to be effectively suspended for any length of time,
making us think that a timer has gone on for too long.
Print some not-very-nice-looking but helpful diagnosis information if
the timing selftest fails. Since the failures tend to be due to heavy
system load that's hard to reproduce, this information is necessary to
understand what's going on.
mbedtls_timing_get_timer with reset=1 is called both to initialize a
timer object and to reset an already-initialized object. In an
initial call, the content of the data structure is indeterminate, so
the code should not read from it. This could crash if signed overflows
trap, for example.
As a consequence, on reset, we can't return the previously elapsed
time as was previously done on Windows. Return 0 as was done on Unix.
The POSIX/Unix implementation of mbedtls_set_alarm did not set the
mbedtls_timing_alarmed flag when called with 0, which was inconsistent
with what the documentation implied and with the Windows behavior.

In a previous PR (Fix heap corruption in implementation of truncated HMAC
extension #425) the place where MAC is computed was changed from the end of
the SSL I/O buffer to a local buffer (then (part of) the content of the local
buffer is either copied to the output buffer of compare to the input buffer).
Unfortunately, this change was made only for TLS 1.0 and later, leaving SSL
3.0 in an inconsistent state due to ssl_mac() still writing to the old,
hard-coded location, which, for MAC verification, resulted in later comparing
the end of the input buffer (containing the computed MAC) to the local buffer
(uninitialised), most likely resulting in MAC verification failure, hence no
interop (even with ourselves).
This commit completes the move to using a local buffer by using this strategy
for SSL 3.0 too. Fortunately ssl_mac() was static so it's not a problem to
change its signature.
Port wait_server_start from ssl-opt.sh to compat.sh, instead of just
using "sleep 1". This solves the problem that on a heavily loaded
machine, sleep 1 is sometimes not enough (we had CI failures because
of this). This is also faster on a lightly-loaded machine (execution
time reduced from ~8min to ~6min on my machine).
In wait_server_start, fork less. When lsof is present, call it on the
expected process. This saves a few percent of execution time on a
lightly loaded machine. Also, sleep for a short duration rather than
using a tight loop.
