Raymond Mao <raymond.mao@linaro.org> says:
Integrate MbedTLS v3.6 LTS (currently v3.6.0) with U-Boot.
Motivations:
------------
1. MbedTLS is well maintained with LTS versions.
2. LWIP is integrated with MbedTLS and easily to enable HTTPS.
3. MbedTLS recently switched license back to GPLv2.
Prerequisite:
-------------
This patch series requires mbedtls git repo to be added as a
subtree to the main U-Boot repo via:
$ git subtree add --prefix lib/mbedtls/external/mbedtls \
https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls.git \
v3.6.0 --squash
Moreover, due to the Windows-style files from mbedtls git repo,
we need to convert the CRLF endings to LF and do a commit manually:
$ git add --renormalize .
$ git commit
New Kconfig options:
--------------------
`MBEDTLS_LIB` is for MbedTLS general switch.
`MBEDTLS_LIB_CRYPTO` is for replacing original digest and crypto libs with
MbedTLS.
`MBEDTLS_LIB_CRYPTO_ALT` is for using original U-Boot crypto libs as
MbedTLS crypto alternatives.
`MBEDTLS_LIB_X509` is for replacing original X509, PKCS7, MSCode, ASN1,
and Pubkey parser with MbedTLS.
By default `MBEDTLS_LIB_CRYPTO_ALT` and `MBEDTLS_LIB_X509` are selected
when `MBEDTLS_LIB` is enabled.
`LEGACY_CRYPTO` is introduced as a main switch for legacy crypto library.
`LEGACY_CRYPTO_BASIC` is for the basic crypto functionalities and
`LEGACY_CRYPTO_CERT` is for the certificate related functionalities.
For each of the algorithm, a pair of `<alg>_LEGACY` and `<alg>_MBEDTLS`
Kconfig options are introduced. Meanwhile, `SPL_` Kconfig options are
introduced.
In this patch set, MBEDTLS_LIB, MBEDTLS_LIB_CRYPTO and MBEDTLS_LIB_X509
are by default enabled in qemu_arm64_defconfig and sandbox_defconfig
for testing purpose.
Patches for external MbedTLS project:
-------------------------------------
Since U-Boot uses Microsoft Authentication Code to verify PE/COFFs
executables which is not supported by MbedTLS at the moment,
addtional patches for MbedTLS are created to adapt with the EFI loader:
1. Decoding of Microsoft Authentication Code.
2. Decoding of PKCS#9 Authenticate Attributes.
3. Extending MbedTLS PKCS#7 lib to support multiple signer's certificates.
4. MbedTLS native test suites for PKCS#7 signer's info.
All above 4 patches (tagged with `mbedtls/external`) are submitted to
MbedTLS project and being reviewed, eventually they should be part of
MbedTLS LTS release.
But before that, please merge them into U-Boot, otherwise the building
will be broken when MBEDTLS_LIB_X509 is enabled.
See below PR link for the reference:
https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/pull/9001
Miscellaneous:
--------------
Optimized MbedTLS library size by tailoring the config file
and disabling all unnecessary features for EFI loader.
From v2, original libs (rsa, asn1_decoder, rsa_helper, md5, sha1, sha256,
sha512) are completely replaced when MbedTLS is enabled.
From v3, the size-growth is slightly reduced by refactoring Hash functions.
From v6, smaller implementations for SHA256 and SHA512 are enabled and
target size reduce significantly.
Target(QEMU arm64) size-growth when enabling MbedTLS:
v1: 6.03%
v2: 4.66%
v3 - v5: 4.55%
v6: 2.90%
Tests done:
-----------
EFI Secure Boot test (EFI variables loading and verifying, EFI signed image
verifying and booting) via U-Boot console.
EFI Secure Boot and Capsule sandbox test passed.
Known issues:
-------------
None.

Adapt digest header files to support both original libs and MbedTLS

Introduce <alg>_LEGACY kconfig for legacy hash implementations.
sha256.o should depend on SHA256 kconfig only but not SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB,
SHA256 should be selected when SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB is enabled instead.
`IS_ENABLED` or `CONFIG_IS_ENABLED` is not applicable here, since
including <linux/kconfig.h> causes undefined reference on schedule()
with sandbox build, as <linux/kconfig.h> includes <generated/autoconf.h>
which enables `CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG` and `CONFIG_WATCHDOG` but no schedule()
are defined in sandbox build,
Thus we use `#if defined(CONFIG_MBEDTLS_LIB_CRYPTO)` instead.

Add Kconfig skeleton and config submenu entry for selecting

Subsequent patches will separate those Kconfigs into pairs of

The motivation of moving and adapting *INT* macros from kernel.h
to limits.h is to fulfill the MbedTLS building requirement.
The conditional compilation statements in MbedTLS expects the
*INT* macros as constant expressions, thus expressions like
`((int)(~0U >> 1))` will not work.

When passing a data buffer back from a function, it is not always clear
who owns the buffer, i.e. who is responsible for freeing the memory used.
An example of this is where multiple files are decompressed from the
firmware image, using a temporary buffer for reading (since the
compressed data has to live somewhere) and producing a temporary or
permanent buffer with the resuilts.
Where the firmware image can be memory-mapped, as on x86, the compressed
data does not need to be buffered, but the complexity of having a buffer
which is either allocated or not, makes the code hard to understand.
Introduce a new 'abuf' which supports simple buffer operations:
- encapsulating a buffer and its size
- either allocated with malloc() or not
- able to be reliably freed if necessary
- able to be converted to an allocated buffer if needed
This simple API makes it easier to deal with allocated and memory-mapped
buffers.

The configuration CONFIG_OPTEE is defined 2 times:
1- in lib/optee/Kconfig for support of OPTEE images loaded by bootm command
2- in drivers/tee/optee/Kconfig for support of OP-TEE driver.
It is abnormal to have the same CONFIG define for 2 purpose;
and it is difficult to managed correctly their dependencies.
Moreover CONFIG_SPL_OPTEE is defined in common/spl/Kconfig

- CONFIG_OPTEE (same) => support of OP-TEE driver in U-Boot
- CONFIG_OPTEE_LIB (new) => support of OP-TEE library

- CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(OPTEE) => OP-TEE driver is supported

SHA512_ALGO was used as a "either SHA512 or SHA384", although the
implementations of these two algorithms share a majority of code.
From a Kconfig interface perspective, it makes sense to present two
distinct options. This requires #ifdefing out the SHA512
implementation from sha512.c. The latter doesn't make any sense.
It's reasonable to say in Kconfig that SHA384 depends on SHA512, and

The hash_calculate() symbol is provided by hash-checksum.c. It depends

enabling hash_calculate() based on CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is incorrect.
To resolve this, use CONFIG_HASH as the compile switch for
hash-checksum.c. This ensures that all dependencies are compiled, and
is the most natural Kconfig to use.

When we think of Kconfig, we usually think of features that we like
to enable or not. Ideally, we wouldn't use Kconfig to fix a build
issue, although sometimes it might make sense. With Kconfig it's hard
to guarantee that the fix is universal. We can only say that it works
for the set of tested configurations. In the majority of cases, it's
preferable to let the linker figure things out for us.
The reverted commit attempted to fix a build issue by adding an
invisible Kconfig option. This is wrong in several ways:
It invents a new Kconfig variable when CONFIG_HASH already
exists for the same purpose.
Second, hash-checksum.c makes use of the hash_progressive_lookup_algo()
symbol, which is only provided with CONFIG_HASH, but this dependency
was not expressed in the reverted patch.
It feels like Kconfig is turning into a listing of all available
source files, and a buffet to 'select' which ones to compile. The
purpose of this revert is to enable the next change to make use of
CONFIG_HASH instead of adding to Kconfig.

Some commands can get very unweildy if they have too many positional
arguments. Adding options makes them easier to read, remember, and
understand.
This implementation of getopt has been taken from barebox, which has had
option support for quite a while. I have made a few modifications to their
version, such as the removal of opterr in favor of a separate getopt_silent
function. In addition, I have moved all global variables into struct
getopt_context.
The getopt from barebox also re-orders the arguments passed to it so that
non-options are placed last. This allows users to specify options anywhere.
For example, `ls -l foo/ -R` would be re-ordered to `ls -l -R foo/` as
getopt parsed the options. However, this feature conflicts with the const
argv in cmd_tbl->cmd. This was originally added in 54841ab50c ("Make sure
that argv[] argument pointers are not modified."). The reason stated in
that commit is that hush requires argv to stay unmodified. Has this
situation changed? Barebox also uses hush, and does not have this problem.
Perhaps we could use their fix?
I have assigned maintenance of getopt to Simon Glass, as it is currently
only used by the log command. I would also be fine maintaining it.
