There are currently 4 tests in ssl-opt.sh with either -C "resend" or -S
"resend", that is, asserting that no retransmission will occur. They sometimes
fail on loaded CI machines as one side doesn't send a message fast enough,
causing the other side to retransmit, causing the test to fail.
(For the "reconnect" test there was an other issue causing random failures,
fixed in a previous commit, but even after that fix the test would still
sometimes randomly fail, even if much more rarely.)
While it's a hard problem to fix in a general and perfect way, in practice the
probability of failures can be drastically reduced by making the timeout
values much larger.
For some tests, where retransmissions are actually expected, this would have
the negative effect of increasing the average running time of the test, as
each side would wait for longer before it starts retransmission, so we have a
trade-off between average running time and probability of spurious failures.
But for tests where retransmission is not expected, there is no such trade-off
as the expected running time of the test (assuming the code is correct most of
the time) is not impacted by the timeout value. So the only negative effect of
increasing the timeout value is on the worst-case running time on the test,
which is much less important, as test should only fail quite rarely.
This commit addresses the easy case of tests that don't expect retransmission
by increasing the value of their timeout range to 10s-20s. This value
corresponds to the value used for tests that assert `-S "autoreduction"` which
are in the same case and where the current value seems acceptable so far.
It also represents an increase, compared to the values before this commit, of
a factor 20 for the "reconnect" tests which were frequently observed to fail
in the CI, and of a factor 10 for the first two "DTLS proxy" tests, which were
observed to fail much less frequently, so hopefully the new values are enough
to reduce the probability of spurious failures to an acceptable level.

The server must check client reachability (we chose to do that by checking a
cookie) before destroying the existing association (RFC 6347 section 4.2.8).
Let's make sure we do, by having a proxy-in-the-middle inject a ClientHello -
the server should notice, but not destroy the connection.

Section 4.2.8 of RFC 6347 describes how to handle the case of a DTLS client
establishing a new connection using the same UDP quartet as an already active
connection, which we implement under the compile option
MBEDTLS_SSL_DLTS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE. Relevant excerpts:
[the server] MUST NOT destroy the existing
association until the client has demonstrated reachability either by
completing a cookie exchange or by completing a complete handshake
including delivering a verifiable Finished message.
[...]
The reachability requirement prevents
off-path/blind attackers from destroying associations merely by
sending forged ClientHellos.
Our code chooses to use a cookie exchange for establishing reachability, but
unfortunately that check was effectively removed in a recent refactoring,
which changed what value ssl_handle_possible_reconnect() needs to return in
order for ssl_get_next_record() (introduced in that refactoring) to take the
proper action. Unfortunately, in addition to changing the value, the
refactoring also changed a return statement to an assignment to the ret
variable, causing the function to reach the code for a valid cookie, which
immediately destroys the existing association, effectively bypassing the
cookie verification.
This commit fixes that by immediately returning after sending a
HelloVerifyRequest when a ClientHello without a valid cookie is found. It also
updates the description of the function to reflect the new return value
convention (the refactoring updated the code but not the documentation).
The commit that changed the return value convention (and introduced the bug)
is 2fddd3765e, whose commit message explains the
change.
Note: this bug also indirectly caused the ssl-opt.sh test case "DTLS client
reconnect from same port: reconnect" to occasionally fail due to a race
condition between the reception of the ClientHello carrying a valid cookie and
the closure of the connection by the server after noticing the ClientHello
didn't carry a valid cookie after it incorrectly destroyed the previous
connection, that could cause that ClientHello to be invisible to the server
(if that message reaches the server just before it does `net_close()`). A
welcome side effect of this commit is to remove that race condition, as the
new connection will immediately start with a ClientHello carrying a valid
cookie in the SSL input buffer, so the server will not call `net_close()` and
not risk discarding a better ClientHello that arrived in the meantime.

See the comments in the code for how an attack would go, and the ChangeLog
entry for an impact assessment. (For ECDSA, leaking a few bits of the scalar
over several signatures translates to full private key recovery using a
lattice attack.)

This change was first introduced in 8af3923 - see this commit for more background.
After the removal of crypto directory, there are no targets that require a
crypto library with the directory prefix, so there's also no need for the priority
dependency to be declared. This commit removes it.

Changelog entry files were listed in reverse alphabetical order of the

the order in which the changes were merged. More precisely: look for
the git commit where the entry file was created, and look where this

List never-merged commits in date order after all the merged ones.
List never-committed files in file timestamp order after all the

Merge the latest state of the target branch (mbedtls/development) into the
pull request to merge mbed-crypto into mbedtls.

* ChangeLog: add/add conflict. Resolve by using the usual section order.
In Windows cmd, `del foo` succeeds if `foo` doesn't exist, but
`del *.ext` fails if `*.ext` doesn't match any files. Therefore we use
the idiom `if exist *.ext del *.ext` to delete files matching
wildcards.
We've accidentally used `if exist $(some_list) del $(some_list)`, and
that's wrong, because it's only syntactically correct if
`$(some_list)` contains exactly one element. As long as `$(some_list)`
contains actual file names and not wildcards, just use `del $(some_list)`.
Add dependencies on !MBEDTLS_SHA512_NO_SHA384 to X.509 and SSL unit
tests that use SHA-384 (identified based on having a description that
contains "SHA384" or "SHA-384").
Rename identifiers containing double-underscore (`__`) to avoid `__`.
The reason to avoid double-underscore is that all identifiers
containing double-underscore are reserved in C++. Rename all such
identifiers that appear in any public header, including ssl_internal.h
which is in principle private but in practice is installed with the
public headers.
This commit makes check-names.sh pass.

local objects.
* Merge modules that were duplicated between the mbedtls and the
