The default entropy nonce length is either zero or nonzero depending
on the desired security strength and the entropy length.
The implementation calculates the actual entropy nonce length from the
actual entropy length, and therefore it doesn't need a constant that
indicates the default entropy nonce length. A portable application may
be interested in this constant, however. And our test code could
definitely use it.
Define a constant MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_NONCE_LEN and use it in
test code. Previously, test_suite_ctr_drbg had knowledge about the
default entropy nonce length built in and test_suite_psa_crypto_init
failed. Now both use MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_NONCE_LEN.
This change means that the test ctr_drbg_entropy_usage no longer
validates that the default entropy nonce length is sensible. So add a
new test that checks that the default entropy length and the default
entropy nonce length are sufficient to ensure the expected security
strength.
Change the default entropy nonce length to be nonzero in some cases.
Specifically, the default nonce length is now set in such a way that
the entropy input during the initial seeding always contains enough
entropy to achieve the maximum possible security strength per
NIST SP 800-90A given the key size and entropy length.
If MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN is kept to its default value,
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() now grabs extra entropy for a nonce if
MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_USE_128_BIT_KEY is disabled and either
MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_FORCE_SHA256 is enabled or MBEDTLS_SHA512_C is
disabled. If MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_USE_128_BIT_KEY is enabled, or if
the entropy module uses SHA-512, then the default value of
MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN does not require a second call to the
entropy function to achieve the maximum security strength.
This choice of default nonce size guarantees NIST compliance with the
maximum security strength while keeping backward compatibility and
performance high: in configurations that do not require grabbing more
entropy, the code will not grab more entropy than before.
Add a new function mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_nonce_len() which configures
the DRBG instance to call f_entropy a second time during the initial
seeding to grab a nonce.
The default nonce length is 0, so there is no behavior change unless
the user calls the new function.

When running 'make test' with GNU make, if a test suite program
displays "PASSED", this was automatically counted as a pass. This
would in particular count as passing:
* A test suite with the substring "PASSED" in a test description.
* A test suite where all the test cases succeeded, but the final
cleanup failed, in particular if a sanitizer reported a memory leak.
Use the test executable's return status instead to determine whether
the test suite passed. It's always 0 on PASSED unless the executable's
cleanup code fails, and it's never 0 on any failure.

Some sanitizers default to displaying an error message and recovering.
This could result in a test being recorded as passing despite a
complaint from the sanitizer. Turn off sanitizer recovery to avoid
this risk.

The blinding applied to the scalar before modular inversion is
inadequate. Bignum is not constant time/constant trace, side channel
attacks can retrieve the blinded value, factor it (it is smaller than
RSA keys and not guaranteed to have only large prime factors). Then the
key can be recovered by brute force.
Reducing the blinded value makes factoring useless because the adversary
can only recover pk*t+z*N instead of pk*t.
config-symmetric-only.h enables MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_NV_SEED so it needs a
seedfile. Create it in test-ref-configs.pl so that the script works on
its own, even if it is not invoked by all.sh.
Add a reference configuration with most symmetric cryptographic
algorithms enabled, but without any asymmetric cryptography. This
checks that we don't have spurious unexpected dependencies on
asymmetric-only modules such as bignum.
Keep HAVE_ASM disabled because it's platform-specific.
Keep HAVEGE disabled because it's untested and not recommended.
Keep MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC out because it isn't related to cryptography
at all and it makes memory sanitizers ineffective.
Keep THREADING disabled because it requires special build options.
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() always set the entropy length to the default,
so a call to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() before seed() had no
effect. Change this to the more intuitive behavior that
set_entropy_len() sets the entropy length and seed() respects that and
only uses the default entropy length if there was no call to
set_entropy_len().
This removes the need for the test-only function
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed_entropy_len(). Just call
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() followed by
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed(), it works now.
Move the definitions of mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed_entropy_len() and
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() to after they are used. This makes the code
easier to read and to maintain.
mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed() always set the entropy length to the default,
so a call to mbedtls_hmac_drbg_set_entropy_len() before seed() had no
effect. Change this to the more intuitive behavior that
set_entropy_len() sets the entropy length and seed() respects that and
only uses the default entropy length if there was no call to
set_entropy_len().

Consolidate the invalid-handle tests from test_suite_psa_crypto and
test_suite_psa_crypto_slot_management. Start with the code in
test_suite_psa_crypto_slot_management and adapt it to test one invalid
handle value per run of the test function.
Fix a signed int overflow in mbedtls_asn1_get_int() for numbers
between INT_MAX+1 and UINT_MAX (typically 0x80000000..0xffffffff).
This was undefined behavior which in practice would typically have
resulted in an incorrect value, but which may plausibly also have
caused the postcondition (*p == initial<*p> + len) to be violated.

mbedtls_asn1_get_int() and mbedtls_asn1_get_mpi() behave differently
on negative INTEGERs (0200). Don't change the library behavior for now
because this might break interoperability in some applications. Change
the test function to the library behavior.
Fix the test data with negative INTEGERs. These test cases were
previously not run (they were introduced but deliberately deactivated
in 27d806fab4). The test data was
actually wrong: ASN.1 uses two's complement, which has no negative 0,
and some encodings were wrong. Now the tests have correct data, and
the test code rectifies the expected data to match the library
behavior.
mbedtls_asn1_get_int() and mbedtls_asn1_get_mpi() behave differently

because this might break interoperability in some applications. Write

When the asn1parse module is enabled but the bignum module is
disabled, the asn1parse test suite did not work. Fix this.
