This patch adapts the recent change about serializing the number of
simultaneous tls handshakes allowed to 1, so you can set the number in the
context creation info, and the accounting for it is handled by counters
same as the overally tls restriction.
The name of the context info var to control it changes to simultaneous_ssl_handshake_restriction
which is now a count, the default 0 means no limit.
The count rejects tls connection attempts when the tls borrow is attempted,
and separately hands back the hs borrow from the tls borrow when the
connection attempt fails or succeeds.
Adapt mbedtls support for compatibility with v3, while maintaining
compatibility with v2.
Notice v3 has removed the ability to encrypt with pubkey and
decrypt with privkey. Openssl still has it, atm with v3 these
fall back to encrypt with privkey and decrypt with pubkey.

lws_tls_restrict_borrow() returns error when tls restriction limit is
reached. However lws_ssl_close() still calls lws_tls_restrict_return()
to decrease simultaneous_ssl. Thus LWS accepts more than allowed ssl
links, making simultaneous_ssl_restriction useless.
Fix it by tracking lws_tls_restrict_borrow() return value and only
calling lws_tls_restrict_return() if lws_tls_restrict_borrow() is
successful.
Add support for dynamically determining the CAs needed to validate server
certificates. This allows you to avoid instantiating > 120 X.509 trusted
CA certs and have them take up heap the whole time.
Works for both openssl and mbedtls.
See READMEs/README.jit-trust.md for the documentation
You likely want the next patch for http redirect enhancements as well.
We have access to a simplified report of the problem name for tls
validation inside the validation cb, let's bring it out and
use it for OpenSSL CCE reporting.
There are a few build options that are trying to keep and report
various statistics
- DETAILED_LATENCY
- SERVER_STATUS
- WITH_STATS
remove all those and establish a generic rplacement, lws_metrics.
lws_metrics makes its stats available via an lws_system ops function
pointer that the user code can set.
Openmetrics export is supported, for, eg, prometheus scraping.
openssl v3-alpha11 has marked EC_KEY pieces as deprecated... we use it in
LWS_WITH_GENCRYPTO but the related RSA etc pieces were already deprecated
for that. We use EC_KEY pieces in vhost init...
The apis are not removed but deprecated, we should have a way to keep
trucking, but as it is the deprecation warning is promoted to an error.
Let's add LWS_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATED_API_WARNINGS option off by default. If
enabled at cmake, external deprecated api warnings are suppressed. This
gives a general workaround for now for opensslv3.
In addition, even if you don't do that, let's notice we are on openssl v3
and don't build the EC curve selection stuff, I don't think anyone is
actually using it anyway.
Update libressl rules for options api type,
add some docs to build, use CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS since
CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS is fooled by the conditionals
in the headers
This is a huge patch that should be a global NOP.
For unix type platforms it enables -Wconversion to issue warnings (-> error)
for all automatic casts that seem less than ideal but are normally concealed
by the toolchain.
This is things like passing an int to a size_t argument. Once enabled, I
went through all args on my default build (which build most things) and
tried to make the removed default cast explicit.
With that approach it neither change nor bloat the code, since it compiles
to whatever it was doing before, just with the casts made explicit... in a
few cases I changed some length args from int to size_t but largely left
the causes alone.
From now on, new code that is relying on less than ideal casting
will complain and nudge me to improve it by warnings.
This adds some new objects and helpers for keeping and logging
info on grouped allocations, a group is, eg, SS handles or client
wsis.
Allocated objects get a context-unique "tag" string intended to replace
%p / wsi pointers etc. Pointers quickly become confusing when
allocations are freed and reused, the tag string won't repeat
until you produce 2^64 objects in a context.
In addition the tag string documents the object group, with prefixes
like "wsi-" or "vh-" and contain object-specific additional
information like the vhost name, address / port or the role of the wsi.
At creation time the lws code can use a format string and args
to add whatever group-specific info makes sense, eg, a wsi bound
to a secure stream can also append the guid of the secure stream,
it's copied into the new object tag and so is still available
cleanly after the stream is destroyed if the wsi outlives it.
This is complicated by the fact extern on a function declaration implies
visibility... we have to make LWS_EXTERN empty when building static.
And, setting target_compile_definitions() doesn't work inside macros,
so it has to be set explicitly for the plugins.
Checking the symbol status needs nm -C -D as per
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37934388/symbol-visibility-not-working-as-expected
after this patch, libwebsockets.a shows no symbols when checked like that and
the static-linked minimal examples only show -U for their other dynamic
imports.
In a handful of cases we use LWS_EXTERN on extern data declarations,
those then need to change to explicit extern.
PARENT_SCOPE needs adjusting in a few places for wolfssl to work, and
we need a second level export of USE_WOLFSSL through lib/CMakeLists.txt
Add noi/f32 Sai build for WOLFSSL + MINIMAL_EXAMPLES
Some general debugging advice but also really clarify the official way of how to dump
what is going out and coming in directly from the tls tunnel, so you can see the
actual data unencrypted.
Add initial support for defining servers using Secure Streams
policy and api semantics.
Serving h1, h2 and ws should be functional, the new minimal
example shows a combined http + SS server with an incrementing
ws message shown in the browser over tls, in around 200 lines
of user code.
NOP out anything to do with plugins, they're not currently used.
Update the docs correspondingly.
Currently we always reserve a fakewsi per pt so events that don't have a related actual
wsi, like vhost-protocol-init or vhost cert init via protocol callback can make callbacks
that look reasonable to user protocol handler code expecting a valid wsi every time.
This patch splits out stuff that user callbacks often unconditionally expect to be in
a wsi, like context pointer, vhost pointer etc into a substructure, which is composed
into struct lws at the top of it. Internal references (struct lws is opaque, so there
are only internal references) are all updated to go via the substructre, the compiler
should make that a NOP.
Helpers are added when fakewsi is used and referenced.
If not PLAT_FREERTOS, we continue to provide a full fakewsi in the pt as before,
although the helpers improve consistency by zeroing down the substructure. There is
a huge amount of user code out there over the last 10 years that did not always have
the minimal examples to follow, some of it does some unexpected things.
If it is PLAT_FREERTOS, that is a newer thing in lws and users have the benefit of
being able to follow the minimal examples' approach. For PLAT_FREERTOS we don't
reserve the fakewsi in the pt any more, saving around 800 bytes. The helpers then
create a struct lws_a (the substructure) on the stack, zero it down (but it is only
like 4 pointers) and prepare it with whatever we know like the context.
Then we cast it to a struct lws * and use it in the user protocol handler call.
In this case, the remainder of the struct lws is undefined. However the amount of
old protocol handlers that might touch things outside of the substructure in
PLAT_FREERTOS is very limited compared to legacy lws user code and the saving is
significant on constrained devices.
User handlers should not be touching everything in a wsi every time anyway, there
are several cases where there is no valid wsi to do the call with. Dereference of
things outside the substructure should only happen when the callback reason shows
there is a valid wsi bound to the activity (as in all the minimal examples).
The low level apis for HMAC (including those only introduced at 1.1.0...)
are all deprecated in OpenSSL v3.
Let's bite the bullet and migrate to EVP, it's already existing in modern
OpenSSL and we already use it for genhash.
EVP needs a PKEY, sort that out and keep it around until the hmac is
destroyed.
