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.
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().
The former test-only function mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed_entropy_len() is
no longer used, but keep it for strict ABI compatibility.
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().
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.

CTR_DRBG: explain the security strength and the entropy input length
CTR_DRBG documentation improvements
The documentation of HMAC_DRBG erroneously claimed that
mbedtls_hmac_drbg_set_entropy_len() had an impact on the initial
seeding. This is in fact not the case: mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed() forces
the entropy length to its chosen value. Fix the documentation.
The documentation of CTR_DRBG erroneously claimed that
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len() had an impact on the initial
seeding. This is in fact not the case: mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() forces
the initial seeding to grab MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN bytes of
entropy. Fix the documentation and rewrite the discussion of the
entropy length and the security strength accordingly.

Reduce the stack usage of the `test_suite_pkcs1_v21` by reducing the
size of the buffers used in the tests, to a reasonable big enough size,
and change the size sent to the API to sizeof output.
Reduce the stack usage of the `test_suite_rsa` by reducing the
size of the buffers used in the tests, to a reasonable big enough size,
and change the data size to decrypt in the data file.
Exercise the library functions with calloc returning NULL for a size
of 0. Make this a separate job with UBSan (and ASan) to detect
places where we try to dereference the result of calloc(0) or to do
things like
buf = calloc(size, 1);
if (buf == NULL && size != 0) return INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY;
memcpy(buf, source, size);
which has undefined behavior when buf is NULL at the memcpy call even
if size is 0.
This is needed because other test components jobs either use the system
malloc which returns non-NULL on Linux and FreeBSD, or the
memory_buffer_alloc malloc which returns NULL but does not give as
useful feedback with ASan (because the whole heap is a single C
object).
Add a very basic test of calloc to the selftest program. The selftest
program acts in its capacity as a platform compatibility checker rather
than in its capacity as a test of the library.
The main objective is to report whether calloc returns NULL for a size
of 0. Also observe whether a free/alloc sequence returns the address
that was just freed and whether a size overflow is properly detected.

Check dependencies of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE in check_config.h
With the removal of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C from the
full config, there are no tests for it remaining in all.sh.
This commit adds a build as well as runs of `make test` and
`ssl-opt.sh` with MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C enabled to all.sh.
Previously, numerous all.sh tests manually disabled the buffer allocator
or memory backtracting after setting a full config as the starting point.
With the removal of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C
from full configs, this is no longer necessary.
