Context: The function `mbedtls_mpi_fill_random()` uses a temporary stack
buffer to hold the random data before reading it into the target MPI.
Problem: This is inefficient both computationally and memory-wise.
Memory-wise, it may lead to a stack overflow on constrained devices with
limited stack.
Fix: This commit introduces the following changes to get rid of the
temporary stack buffer entirely:
1. It modifies the call to the PRNG to output the random data directly
into the target MPI's data buffer.
This alone, however, constitutes a change of observable behaviour:
The previous implementation guaranteed to interpret the bytes emitted by
the PRNG in a big-endian fashion, while rerouting the PRNG output into the
target MPI's limb array leads to an interpretation that depends on the
endianness of the host machine.
As a remedy, the following change is applied, too:
2. Reorder the bytes emitted from the PRNG within the target MPI's
data buffer to ensure big-endian semantics.
Luckily, the byte reordering was already implemented as part of
`mbedtls_mpi_read_binary()`, so:
3. Extract bigendian-to-host byte reordering from
`mbedtls_mpi_read_binary()` to a separate internal function
`mpi_bigendian_to_host()` to be used by `mbedtls_mpi_read_binary()`
and `mbedtls_mpi_fill_random()`.
The test suites `test_suite_gcm.aes{128,192,256}_en.data` contains
numerous NIST test vectors for AES-*-GCM against which the GCM
API mbedtls_gcm_xxx() is tested.
However, one level higher at the cipher API, no tests exist which
exercise mbedtls_cipher_auth_{encrypt/decrypt}() for GCM ciphers,
although test_suite_cipher.function contains the test auth_crypt_tv
which does precisely that and is already used e.g. in
test_suite_cipher.ccm.
This commit replicates the test vectors from
test_suite_gcm.aes{128,192,256}_en.data in test_suite_cipher.gcm.data
and adds a run of auth_crypt_tv for each of them.
The conversion was mainly done through the sed command line
```
s/gcm_decrypt_and_verify:\([^:]*\):\([^:]*\):\([^:]*\):\([^:]*\):
\([^:]*\):\([^:]*\):\([^:]*\):\([^:]*\):\([^:]*\):\([^:]*\)/auth_crypt_tv:
\1:\2:\4:\5:\3:\7:\8:\9/
```
tests/Makefile had some unused warnings disabled unnecessarily, which
test-ref-configs.pl was turning back on. We don't need to disable these warnings
so I'm turning them back on.
Dependent on configured options, not all of the helper functions were being
used, which was leading to warning of unused functions with Clang.
To avoid any complex compile time options, or adding more logic to
generate_test_code.py to screen out unused functions, those functions which were
provoking the warning were changed to remove static, remove them from file
scope, and expose them to the linker.
Clarified and made more coherent the parameter validation feature, it's scope
and what has changed. Added version 2.14.1 to the history which was released on
a branch.
The calls to cipher_finish didn't actually do anything:
- the cipher mode is always ECB
- in that case cipher_finish() only sets *olen to zero, and returns either 0
or an error depending on whether there was pending data
- olen is a local variable in the caller, so setting it to zero right before
returning is not essential
- the return value of cipher_finis() was not checked by the caller so that's
not useful either
- the cipher layer does not have ALT implementations so the behaviour
described above is unconditional on ALT implementations (in particular,
cipher_finish() can't be useful to hardware as (with ECB) it doesn't call any
functions from lower-level modules that could release resources for example)
Since the calls are causing issues with parameter validation, and were no
serving any functional purpose, it's simpler to just remove them.
