Besides documenting types better and so on, this give the compiler more room
to optimise either for size or performance.
Here are some before/after measurements of:
- size of aria.o in bytes (less is better)
- instruction count for the selftest function (less is better)
with various -O flags.
Before:
O aria.o ins
s 10896 37,256
2 11176 37,199
3 12248 27,752
After:
O aria.o ins
s 8784 41,408
2 11112 37,001
3 13096 27,438
The new version allows the compiler to reach smaller size with -Os while
maintaining (actually slightly improving) performance with -O2 and -O3.
Measurements were done on x86_64 (but since this is mainly about inlining
code, this should transpose well to other platforms) using the following
helper program and script, after disabling CBC, CFB and CTR in config.h, in
order to focus on the core functions.
==> st.c <==
#include "mbedtls/aria.h"
int main( void ) {
return mbedtls_aria_self_test( 0 );
}
==> p.sh <==
#!/bin/sh
set -eu
ccount () {
(
valgrind --tool=callgrind --dump-line=no --callgrind-out-file=/dev/null --collect-atstart=no --toggle-collect=main $1
) 2>&1 | sed -n -e 's/.*refs: *\([0-9,]*\)/\1/p'
}
printf "O\taria.o\tins\n"
for O in s 2 3; do
GCC="gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Iinclude"
$GCC -O$O -c library/aria.c
$GCC -O1 st.c aria.o -o st
./st
SIZE=$( du -b aria.o | cut -f1 )
INS=$( ccount ./st )
printf "$O\t$SIZE\t$INS\n"
done
We're not absolutely consistent in the rest of the library, but we tend to use
C99-style comments less often.
Change to use C89-style comments everywhere except for end-of-line comments
Those suites were defined in ciphersuite_definitions[] but not included in
ciphersuite_preference[] which meant they couldn't be negotiated unless
explicitly added by the user. Add them so that they're usable by default like
any other suite.
Disabled by default, needs OpenSSL >= 1.1.1 - tested locally with 1.1.1-pre1
Local version of OpenSSL was compiled with:
./config --prefix=$HOME/usr/openssl-1.1.1-pre1 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags,-rpath,'$(LIBRPATH)'
make
make install
With OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre1, two ciphersuites were incorrectly skipped,
but this has since been fixed in OpenSSL master, see:
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/5406
The change in the truncated HMAC extension aligns Mbed TLS with the
standard, but breaks interoperability with previous versions. Indicate
this in the ChangeLog, as well as how to restore the old behavior.
Add mbedTLS.vcxproj to the VS2010 application template so that the next
time we auto-generate the application project files, the
LinkLibraryDependencies for mbedTLS.vcxproj are maintained.
Fixes#1347
In 2.7.0, we replaced a number of MD functions with deprecated inline
versions. This causes ABI compatibility issues, as the functions are no
longer guaranteed to be callable when built into a shared library.
Instead, deprecate the functions without also inlining them, to help
maintain ABI backwards compatibility.
Conflict: configs/config-picocoin.h was both edited and removed.
Resolution: removed, since this is the whole point of PR #1280 and the
changes in development are no longer relevant.
