Previously, numerous all.sh tests manually disabled the buffer allocator
or memory backtracting after setting a full config as the starting point.
With the removal of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE and MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C
from full configs, this is no longer necessary.
According to SP800-90A, the DRBG seeding process should use a nonce
of length `security_strength / 2` bits as part of the DRBG seed. It
further notes that this nonce may be drawn from the same source of
entropy that is used for the first `security_strength` bits of the
DRBG seed. The present HMAC DRBG implementation does that, requesting
`security_strength * 3 / 2` bits of entropy from the configured entropy
source in total to form the initial part of the DRBG seed.
However, some entropy sources may have thresholds in terms of how much
entropy they can provide in a single call to their entropy gathering
function which may be exceeded by the present HMAC DRBG implementation
even if the threshold is not smaller than `security_strength` bits.
Specifically, this is the case for our own entropy module implementation
which only allows requesting at most 32 Bytes of entropy at a time
in configurations disabling SHA-512, and this leads to runtime failure
of HMAC DRBG when used with Mbed Crypto' own entropy callbacks in such
configurations.
This commit fixes this by splitting the seed entropy acquisition into
two calls, one requesting `security_strength` bits first, and another
one requesting `security_strength / 2` bits for the nonce.
Fixes#237.
compat.sh used to skip OpenSSL altogether for DTLS 1.2, because older
versions of OpenSSL didn't support it. But these days it is supported.
We don't want to use DTLS 1.2 with OpenSSL unconditionally, because we
still use legacy versions of OpenSSL to test with legacy ciphers. So
check whether the version we're using supports it.
Due to how the checking script is run in docker, worktree_rev is
ambiguous when running rev-parse. We're running it in the checked
out worktree, so we can use HEAD instead, which is unambiguous.
This test case was only executed if the SHA-512 module was enabled and
MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_FORCE_SHA256 was not enabled, so "config.pl full"
didn't have a chance to reach it even if that enabled
MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_NV_SEED_ALT.
Now all it takes to enable this test is MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_NV_SEED_ALT
and its requirements, and the near-ubiquitous MD module.
Call mbedtls_entropy_free on test failure.
Restore the previous NV seed functions which the call to
mbedtls_platform_set_nv_seed() changed. This didn't break anything,
but only because the NV seed functions used for these tests happened
to work for the tests that got executed later in the .data file.
Limit log output in compat.sh and ssl-opt.sh, in case of failures with
these scripts where they may output seemingly unlimited length error
logs.
Note that ulimit -f uses units of 512 bytes, so we use 10 * 1024 * 1024
* 2 to get 10 GiB.

Changelog entry for HAVEGE fix
Prevent building the HAVEGE module on platforms where it doesn't work
Fix misuse of signed ints in the HAVEGE module
The failure of mbedtls_md was not checked in one place. This could have led
to an incorrect computation if a hardware accelerator failed. In most cases
this would have led to the key exchange failing, so the impact would have been
a hard-to-diagnose error reported in the wrong place. If the two sides of the
key exchange failed in the same way with an output from mbedtls_md that was
independent of the input, this could have led to an apparently successful key
exchange with a predictable key, thus a glitching md accelerator could have
caused a security vulnerability.
Record the commit ID in addition to the symbolic name of the version
being tested. This makes it easier to figure out what has been
compared when reading logs that don't always indicate explicitly what
things like HEAD are.
This makes the title of HTML reports somewhat verbose, but I think
that's a small price to pay.
