This commit introduces an internal zero-cost abstraction layer for
SSL ciphersuites: Instead of addressing ciphersuites via pointers
to instances of mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t and accessing their fields
directly, this commit introduces an opaque type
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t,
and getter functions
mbedtls_ssl_suite_get_xxx()
operating on ciphersuite handles.
The role of NULL is played by a new macro constant
MBEDTLS_SSL_CIPHERSUITE_INVALID_HANDLE
which results of functions returning handles can be checked against.
(For example, when doing a lookup of a ciphersuite from a peer-provided
ciphersuite ID in the per's Hello message).
The getter functions have the validity of the handle as a precondition
and are undefined if the handle is invalid.
So far, there's only one implementation of this abstraction layer, namely
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_handle_t being mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_t const *
and
getter functions being field accesses.
In subsequent commits, however, the abstraction layer will be useful
to save code in the situation where only a single ciphersuite is enabled.
Previously, ssl.h included ssl_ciphersuites.h to have access to the
helper macros MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_XXX_ENABLED, and for no other
reason. This commit moves the definitions of these macros to ssl.h,
thereby removing the dependency of ssl.h on ssl_ciphersuites.h.
So far, the client-proposed list of elliptic curves was stored for the
duration of the entire handshake in a heap-allocated buffer referenced
from mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params::curves. It is used in the following
places:
1) When the server chooses a suitable ciphersuite, it checks that
it has a certificate matching the ciphersuite; in particular, if
the ciphersuite involves ECDHE, the server needs an EC certificate
with a curve suitable for the client.
2) When performing the ECDHE key exchange, the server choose one
curve among those proposed by the client which matches the server's
own supported curve configuration.
This commit removes the hold back the entire client-side curve list
during the handshake, by performing (1) and (2) on during ClientHello
parsing, and in case of (2) only remembering the curve chosen for ECDHE
within mbedtls_ssl_handshake_params.

There are a number of PRs in flight that are going to append to the list of
getter functions for harcodeable SSL conf items, so leave that list at the end
in order to avoid conflicts between this PR and the SSL conf ones.
While not strictly related to this PR, this change improves readability in
some resumption-related runtime conditions that previously had rather ugly
preprocessor directives in the middle of already complex predicates.
The session cache is only server-side. This also aligns the conditions
guarding those fields with the condition guarding the function setting them -
no need to have the fields if we can't set them.
This preserves the API and ABI in the default config as it only affects
non-default configs.
Add a new configuration option MBEDTLS_SSL_SESSION_RESUMPTION
to enable/disable the session resumption feature including
ticket and cache based session resumption.
Previously, a call to mbedtls_x509_crt_xxx_release() would return
MBEDTLS_ERR_THREADING_MUTEX_ERROR if usage counter for the frame/PK
was 0. Now that resource counting can also be used outside of
threading support, this is no longer adequate, and this commit
changes the return code to MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_FATAL_ERROR; while
generic, this at least matches the top-level module.
Forbidding nested calls to acquire() allows to remove the reference
counting logic and hence saving some bytes of code. This is valuable
because MBEDTLS_X509_ALWAYS_FLUSH is likely to be used on constrained
systems where code-size is limited.
Previously, reference counting for the CRT frames and PK contexts
handed out by mbedtls_x509_crt_{frame|pk}_acquire() was implemented
only in case threading support was enabled, which leaves the door
open for a potential use-after-free should a single-threaded application
use nested calls to mbedtls_x509_crt_acquire().
Since Mbed TLS itself does not use such nested calls, it might be
preferred long-term to forbid nesting of acquire calls on the API
level, and hence get rid of reference counting in the interest of
code-size benefits. However, this can be considered as an optimization
of X.509 on demand parsing, and for now this commit introduces
reference counting unconditionally to have a safe version of
on demand parsing to build further optimizations upon.
Previously, only one thread could access the parsing cache of an X.509 CRT
at a time. Firstly, this leads to significant performance penalties on
systems running many concurrent threads which share CRT structures --
for example, server threads sharing an SSL configuration containing the
server CRT. Secondly, the locking should be logically unnecessary, because
the threads are supposed to access the CRT frame and PK in a read-only,
or at least thread-safe manner.
This commit modifies the X.509 CRT cache implementation by allowing an
arbitrary number of concurrent readers, locking only the path of setting
up and clearing the cache.
