This is fix for the MBEDTLS_AES_SETKEY_DEC_ALT macro switch is including the aes xts methods
and building with a custom mbedtls_aes_setkey_dec function will disable the aes xts methods.
The fix is separating the aes xts methods and the MBEDTLS_AES_SETKEY_DEC_ALT can only
switch the presence of the mbedtls_aes_setkey_dec function.

In AES encrypt and decrypt some variables were left on the stack. The value
of these variables can be used to recover the last round key. To follow best
practice and to limit the impact of buffer overread vulnerabilities (like
Heartbleed) we need to zeroize them before exiting the function.
This commit improves hygiene and formatting of macro definitions
throughout the library. Specifically:
- It adds brackets around parameters to avoid unintended
interpretation of arguments, e.g. due to operator precedence.
- It adds uses of the `do { ... } while( 0 )` idiom for macros that
can be used as commands.
The check was already done later when calling ECB, (as evidenced by the tests
passing, which have a call with data_unit set to NULL), but it's more readable
to have it here too, and more helpful when debugging.
Deprecate the module-specific XXX_HW_ACCEL_FAILED and
XXX_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE errors, as alternative implementations should now
return `MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_HW_FAILED` and
`MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED`.
Correct a typo in an AES XTS implementation comment where the relevant
NIST standard was incorrectly referred to as NIST 80-38E instead of NIST
800-38E.
It is inaccurate to call a data unit a "sector". A disk sector is a
common use case for the data unit, but there exist other types of data
units that are not sectors.
The AES XTS self-test was using a variable len, which was declared only when CTR
was enabled. Changed the declaration of len to be conditional on CTR and XTS.
The AES OFB self-test made use of a variable `offset` but failed to have a
preprocessor condition around it, so unless CTR and CBC were enabled, the
variable would be undeclared.
THe function `mbedtls_gf128mul_x_ble()` doesn't multiply by x, x^4, and
x^8. Update the function description to properly describe what the function
does.
mbedtls_aes_crypt_xts() currently takes a `bits_length` parameter, unlike
the other block modes. Change the parameter to accept a bytes length
instead, as the `bits_length` parameter is not actually ever used in the
current implementation.
Add a new context structure for XTS. Adjust the API for XTS to use the new
context structure, including tests suites and the benchmark program. Update
Doxgen documentation accordingly.
AES-XEX is a building block for other cryptographic standards and not yet a
standard in and of itself. We'll just provide the standardized AES-XTS
algorithm, and not AES-XEX. The AES-XTS algorithm and interface provided
can be used to perform the AES-XEX algorithm when the length of the input
is a multiple of the AES block size.
XTS mode is fully known as "xor-encrypt-xor with ciphertext-stealing".
This is the generalization of the XEX mode.
This implementation is limited to an 8-bits (1 byte) boundary, which
doesn't seem to be what was thought considering some test vectors [1].
This commit comes with tests, extracted from [1], and benchmarks.
Although, benchmarks aren't really nice here, as they work with a buffer
of a multiple of 16 bytes, which isn't a challenge for XTS compared to
XEX.

As seen from the first benchmark run, AES-XEX was running pourly (even
slower than AES-CBC). This commit doubles the performances of the
current implementation.
XEX mode, known as "xor-encrypt-xor", is the simple case of the XTS
mode, known as "XEX with ciphertext stealing". When the buffers to be
encrypted/decrypted have a length divisible by the length of a standard
AES block (16), XTS is exactly like XEX.
Adds error handling into mbedtls_aes_crypt_ofb for AES errors, a self-test
for the OFB mode using NIST SP 800-38A test vectors and adds a check to
potential return errors in setting the AES encryption key in the OFB test
suite.
This commit removes all the static occurrencies of the function
mbedtls_zeroize() in each of the individual .c modules. Instead the
function has been moved to utils.h that is included in each of the
modules.
Add missing MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_REMOVED guards around the definitions
of mbedtls_aes_decrypt and mbedtls_aes_encrypt.
This fixes the build under -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror.
Fixes#1388
