Edit the CMAC_ALT ChangeLog entry to mention CCM_ALT which was added
in a sister PR and is being merged together.
Use full name rather than Github id as attribution.
Move the entry under "Features" for better consistency with historical
practice.
Conflict resolution: additions in the same places as
upstream-public/pr/865, both adding into lexicographically sorted
lists, resolved by taking the additions in lexicographic order.
* public/pr/1136:
Timing self test: shorten redundant tests
Timing self test: increased duration
Timing self test: increased tolerance
Timing unit tests: more protection against infinite loops
Unit test for mbedtls_timing_hardclock
New timing unit tests
selftest: allow excluding a subset of the tests
selftest: allow running a subset of the tests
selftest: refactor to separate the list of tests from the logic
Timing self test: print some diagnosis information
mbedtls_timing_get_timer: don't use uninitialized memory
timing interface documentation: minor clarifications
Timing: fix mbedtls_set_alarm(0) on Unix/POSIX
* Correct order of sections in ChangeLog
* Restore unintentionally removed whitespace and
formatting improvements.
* Consistently rename MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_EXPORT_UNSUPPORTED
to MBEDTLS_ERR_RSA_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION in rsa.h
documentation.
1. Surround the generate keys with
`#if ! defined(MBEDTLS_CMAC_ALT) || defined(MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST)`
to resolve build issue when `MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST` is defined for
alternative CMAC as well
2. Update ChangeLog
Increase the duration of the self test, otherwise it tends to fail on
a busy machine even with the recently upped tolerance. But run the
loop only once, it's enough for a simple smoke test.
New set of unit tests for the timing module, instead of just running
the selftest function.
The selftest function sometimes fails on a heavily loaded
machine (such as a typical continuous integration system). Because of
the all-in-one nature of the test and because the exact load pattern
can be hard to reproduce, it is difficult to diagnose failures of CI
runs with selftest. The new tests are more separated and I strove to
point out potential failure modes in comments.
* mbedtls_timing_hardclock: not tested. This function gives so few
guarantees that there isn't much to test, and it is hard to test
reliably because clock cycles don't easily relate to time in any
remotely portable way. This function isn't used in the library
anyway, it's only there for benchmark programs.
* mbedtls_timing_get_timer: tested by setting a timer and verifying
that it reaches its target, and by verifying that a timer started
later than another always has a smaller elapsed time.
* mbedtls_set_alarm: tested by setting an alarm, busy-waiting for it
and measuring the elapsed time with a timer.
* mbedtls_timing_set_delay, mbedtls_timing_get_delay: tested by
setting a delay object and watching it go through its two delay
values, using a timer to check that the delays are passed at the
expected time.
The tests pass under light to moderate load, but some of them can be
defeated with sufficiently heavy load. This is unavoidable since the
test process to be effectively suspended for any length of time,
making us think that a timer has gone on for too long.
mbedtls_timing_get_timer with reset=1 is called both to initialize a
timer object and to reset an already-initialized object. In an
initial call, the content of the data structure is indeterminate, so
the code should not read from it. This could crash if signed overflows
trap, for example.
As a consequence, on reset, we can't return the previously elapsed
time as was previously done on Windows. Return 0 as was done on Unix.
The POSIX/Unix implementation of mbedtls_set_alarm did not set the
mbedtls_timing_alarmed flag when called with 0, which was inconsistent
with what the documentation implied and with the Windows behavior.
* restricted/pr/397:

Register new error code in error.h
Move deprecation to separate section in ChangeLog
Extend scope of ERR_RSA_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION error code
Adapt RSA test suite
Adapt ChangeLog
Deprecate usage of RSA primitives with wrong key type
