Fixes many typos, and errors in comments.
* Clarifies many comments
* Grammar correction in config.pl help text
* Removed comment about MBEDTLS_X509_EXT_NS_CERT_TYPE.
* Comment typo fix (Dont => Don't)
* Comment typo fix (assure => ensure)
* Comment typo fix (byes => bytes)
* Added citation for quoted standard
* Comment typo fix (one complement => 1's complement)
The is some debate about whether to prefer "one's complement", "ones'
complement", or "1's complement". The more recent RFCs related to TLS
(RFC 6347, RFC 4347, etc) use " 1's complement", so I followed that
convention.
* Added missing ")" in comment
* Comment alignment
* Incorrect comment after #endif
For a start, they don't even compile with Visual Studio due to strcasecmp
being missing. Secondly, on Windows Perl scripts aren't executable and have
to be run using the Perl interpreter directly; thankfully CMake is able to
find cygwin Perl straight away without problems.
In a USENIX WOOT '16 paper the authors warn about a security risk
of random Initialisation Vectors (IV) repeating values.
The MBEDTLS_SSL_AEAD_RANDOM_IV feature is affected by this risk and
it isn't compliant with RFC5116. Furthermore, strictly speaking it
is a different cipher suite from the TLS (RFC5246) point of view.
Removing the MBEDTLS_SSL_AEAD_RANDOM_IV feature to resolve the above
problems.

In a USENIX WOOT '16 paper the authors exploit implementation
mistakes that cause Initialisation Vectors (IV) to repeat. This
did not happen in mbed TLS, and this test makes sure that this
won't happen in the future either.
A new test option is introduced to ssl-opt.sh that checks the server
and client logs for a pattern and fails in case there are any
duplicates in the lines following the matching ones. (This is
necessary because of the structure of the logging)
Added a test case as well to utilise the new option. This test forces
the TLS-ECDHE-ECDSA-WITH-AES-256-GCM-SHA384 ciphersuite to make the
client and the server use an AEAD cipher.

The PKCS#1 standard says nothing about the relation between P and Q
but many libraries guarantee P>Q and mbed TLS did so too in earlier
versions.
This commit restores this behaviour.
Fix implementation and documentation missmatch for the function
arguments to mbedtls_gcm_finish(). Also, removed redundant if condition
that always evaluates to true.
Due to inconsistent freeing strategy in pkparse.c the sample mutex
implementation in threading.c could lead to undefined behaviour by
destroying the same mutex several times.
This fix prevents mutexes from being destroyed several times in the
sample threading implementation.
The sample applications programs/pkey/cert_req.c and
programs/pkey/cert_write.c use the library functions
mbedtls_pk_write_csr_pem() and mbedtls_pk_write_crt_pem() respectively which
are dependent on the configuration option MBEDTLS_PEM_WRITE_C. If the option
isn't defined the build breaks.
This change adds the compilation condition MBEDTLS_PEM_WRITE_C to these
sample application.
The sample application programs/pkey/gen_key.c uses the library function
mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem() which is dependent on the configuration option
MBEDTLS_PEM_WRITE_C. If the option isn't defined the build breaks.
This change adds the compilation condition MBEDTLS_PEM_WRITE_C to the gen_key.c
sample application.
