Previously, this wasn't necessary because ecdh.h was included
through ssl.h, but now that this is no longer the case (because
ssl.h doesn't use ECDH), we have to include it explicitly.
Previously, ecp.h was included only if MBEDTLS_ECDH_C was set,
which broke the build in configurations using ECDSA, but not ECDH.
An example of such a config is configs/config-thread.h, which
uses ECJPAKE exclusively.
Moreover, the inclusion of ecdh.h isn't needed, because the header
only uses constants defined in the ECP module.
There is no apparent direct dependency, and the indirect dependency
through the RSA and legacy ECP modules is already encoded in the
chain
MBEDTLS_X509_USE_C
-> MBEDTLS_PK_PARSE_C
-> MBEDTLS_PK_C
-> MBEDTLS_RSA_C || MBEDTLS_ECP_C
-> MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C
which will be modified to
MBEDTLS_X509_USE_C
-> MBEDTLS_PK_PARSE_C
-> MBEDTLS_PK_C
-> MBEDTLS_RSA_C || MBEDTLS_ECP_C || MBEDTLS_USE_TINYCRYPT
in which case MBEDTLS_BIGNUM_C is not needed for MBEDTLS_X509_USE_C
if only MBEDTLS_USE_TINYCRYPT is set, but not MBEDTLS_RSA_C or
MBEDTLS_ECP_C.
asn1.h uses uint8_t which is defined in stdint.h.
This wasn't caught earlier by the luck that whenever asn1.h
was included, another header was included earlier that did in
turn include stdint.h.
Remark: Including ecp.h is actually redundant because it's
also included from ecdh.h. However, it's good practice to
explicitly include header files that are being used directly,
and ssl.h does use MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BYTES which is defined in ecp.h.
ssl.h contains a dummy union of fields each large enough to
hold the PMS for a particular ciphersuite. In particular, for
pure-ECDH ciphersuites, it contains a field large enough to
hold the ECDH shared secret in any of the enabled curves.
So far, this upper bound was unconditionally chosen to be
MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BYTES from the ECP module.
With the introduction of TinyCrypt as an alternative implementation
for ECDH, we need to
- guard the use of MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BYTES because MBEDTLS_ECP_C
is no longer implied by the surrounding MBEDTLS_KEY_EXCHANGE_XXX
guards
- add another field which contains the maximum length of shared
ECDH secrets for curves supported by TinyCrypt.
mbedtls/ecp.h defines constants
MBEDTLS_ECP_PF_UNCOMPRESSED
MBEDTLS_ECP_PF_COMPRESSED
MBEDTLS_ECP_TLS_NAMED_CURVE
which regard the encoding of elliptic curves and curve point formats in TLS.
As such, they should be defined in the SSL namespace. Asides, this will help
replacing the legacy ECC crypto by alternative ECC implementations.
The PK-type MBEDTLS_PK_ECDSA isn't really used by the library.
Especially, when parsing a generic EC key, a PK context of type
MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY will be requested. Hence, to drop in TinyCrypt
for the legacy-ECC implementation, the PK type that TinyCrypt
implements must be MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY.
TinyCrypt should be used as a replacement of legacy ECC. In particular,
there shouldn't be any use of identifiers from the legacy ECC module.
So far, there's the configuration option
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_EC_GRP_ID
that's relevant if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_CURVE is set, and which in
this case must resolve to an identifier of type mbedtls_ecp_group_id
indicating which single curve to enable.
With the introduction of TinyCrypt, we must either change the type
of this option to mbedtls_uecc_group_id, or introduce a separate
compilation option.
In order to avoid type confusion, this commit follows tha latter
approach, introducing the configuration option
MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_UECC_GRP_ID
that indicatesthe TinyCrypt group identifier of the single curve
to use (must be Secp256r1) if MBEDTLS_SSL_CONF_SINGLE_CURVE
and MBEDTLS_USE_TINYCRYPT are set.

Usually, compilers are clever enough to pick the best inlining
strategy, but in this instance, it appears that compiling on ARMC6,
the compilers inlines xxx_prf_yyy() and xxx_calc_finished_yyy()
even though it really shouldn't. Forbid inlining through the use
of __attribute__((noinline)).
This saves a few bytes in configurations where only one hash
is enabled, and configurations allowing multiple hashes probably
don't care about code-size anyway.
Now function mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname is compile-time configurable
in config.h with define MBEDTLS_X509_REMOVE_HOSTNAME_VERIFICATION.
This affects to many x509 API's. See config.h for details.
