Specifically allow the driver to override the persistency level of a
builtin key in cases where the driver is persistency-aware.

Time stamps are useful when the document gets shared around, but they
tend to lead to merge conflicts.

part of it) and why.

While builtin keys will often have a fixed-size context, this is not
necessarily the case, so the "get_builtin_key" entry point needs to
return the size of the actual key context.

Initial revision.
Save-compare-load approach: the test case data contains attributes of
the object under test and the expected file content. Create the
object, save it, check that the file has the expected content, load
the file and check that the new object has the expected attributes.

If a random driver has a built-in entropy source and doesn't need an
external entropy source, make the driver author declare this
explicitly, rather than it being a less secure default.

The get_random entry point was allowed to return partial data on both
PSA_SUCCESS and PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_ENTROPY, but there was no
meaningful difference between the two. Keep it simple: PSA_SUCCESS is
success but can be partial, and PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_ENTROPY is an
error with no output.

Explicitly recommend that the driver accounts for environmental
conditions that can affect the amount of entropy.

A random generation driver does not need to support entropy injection.
This will limit it to platforms where the RNG peripheral is the sole
entropy source and without an RNG seed saved into persistent storage.
Signed-off-by: Gilles Peskine <Gilles.Peskine@arm.com>
If an RNG peripheral includes an entropy source, it would presumably
declare "initial_entropy_size" and "reseed_entropy_size" to be 0. In
this case, don't require the core to call "add_entropy".

The `get_entropy` entry point can be provided by multiple transparent
drivers, and the core will call all of them. But apart from that,
`get_entropy` doesn't involve an opaque key or a location, so it can
be in a transparent driver.

Transparent drivers may provide a DRBG interface through "add_entropy"
and "get_random" entry points. This interface may also be used with a
non-deterministic generator, for chips that include a TRNG.
Opaque driver may provide a "get_entropy" entry point.

Allow the core to call the "get_builtin_key" entry point to retrieve
the attributes of a built-in key. This is useful to implement
psa_get_key_attributes(), and also when the key data buffer's size
depends on the key type and size.

Having a time stamp identifying each revision of the document is
useful, but it's also a pain because it creates a conflict whenever
there are multiple pending changes at the same time. The gain isn't
worth the pain, so I'm removing the time stamp.

The driver interfaces described in crypto_accel_driver.h and
crypto_entropy_driver.h are no longer being worked on. We do not
intend to finish the design of these interfaces or to implement them
in Mbed TLS. They have been superseded by the unified driver
interface (docs/proposed/psa-driver-interface.md), which is being
actively worked on both to finalize the specification and to implement
it in Mbed TLS.
The partially implemented dynamic secure element interface is staying
for now.
