This setting belongs to the individual connection, not to a configuration
shared by many connections. (If a default value is desired, that can be handled
by the application code that calls mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().)
There are at least two ways in which this matters:
- per-connection settings can be adjusted if MTU estimates become available
during the lifetime of the connection
- it is at least conceivable that a server might recognize restricted clients
based on range of IPs and immediately set a lower MTU for them. This is much
easier to do with a per-connection setting than by maintaining multiple
near-duplicated ssl_config objects that differ only by the MTU setting.
This will allow fragmentation to always happen in the same place, always from
a buffer distinct from ssl->out_msg, and with the same way of resuming after
returning WANT_WRITE
When MBEDTLS_ARC4_C and MBEDTLS_CIPHER_NULL_CIPHER were disabled, the stream
cipher function wasn't being include in the cipher struct, yet Chacha20 requires
it.
The purpose of the networking module can sometimes be misunderstood. This adds
a definition and explanation of what the networking module is and what it can be
used for.
We don't compile in the assembly code if compiler optimisations are disabled as
the number of registers used in the assembly code doesn't work with the -O0
option. Also anyone select -O0 probably doesn't want to compile in the assembly
code anyway.
Fix Documentation error in `mbedtls_ssl_get_session`.
This function supports deep copying of the session,
and the peer certificate is not lost anymore, Resolves#926
Move definition of `MBEDTLS_CIPHER_MODE_STREAM` to header file
(`mbedtls_cipher_internal.h`), because it is used by more than
one file. Raised by TrinityTonic in #1719
This fix adds the ebx register to the clobber list for the i386 inline assembly
for the multiply helper function.
ebx was used but not listed, so when the compiler chose to also use it, ebx was
getting corrupted. I'm surprised this wasn't spotted sooner.
Fixes Github issues #1550.
This patch modifies the documentation for mbedtls_ssl_write() to allow
0 as a valid return value as this is the correct number of bytes that
should be returned when an empty TLS Application record is sent.
The TLS layer is checking for mode, such as GCM, CCM, CBC, STREAM. ChachaPoly
needs to have its own mode, even if it's used just one cipher, in order to
allow consistent handling of mode in the TLS layer.

For the situation where the mbedTLS device has limited RAM, but the
other end of the connection doesn't support the max_fragment_length
extension. To be spec-compliant, mbedTLS has to keep a 16384 byte
incoming buffer. However the outgoing buffer can be made smaller without
breaking spec compliance, and we save some RAM.
See comments in include/mbedtls/config.h for some more details.
(The lower limit of outgoing buffer size is the buffer size used during
handshake/cert negotiation. As the handshake is half-duplex it might
even be possible to store this data in the "incoming" buffer during the
handshake, which would save even more RAM - but it would also be a lot
hackier and error-prone. I didn't really explore this possibility, but
thought I'd mention it here in case someone sees this later on a mission
to jam mbedTLS into an even tinier RAM footprint.)
