This reverts commit b621fb50

.

Because of the Trusted Firmware design, timing-safe functions are not
needed. Using them may be misleading as it could be interpreted as being
a protection against private data leakage, which isn't the case here.

For each image, the SHA-256 hash is calculated. Some padding is appended
and the result is encrypted with a private key using RSA-2048. This is
the signature of the image. The public key is stored along with BL1 in
read-only memory and the encrypted hash is stored in the FIP.

When authenticating an image, the TF decrypts the hash stored in the FIP
and recalculates the hash of the image. If they don't match, the boot
sequence won't continue.

A constant-time comparison does not provide additional security as all
the data involved in this process is already known to any attacker.
There is no private data that can leaked through a timing attack when
authenticating an image.

`timingsafe_bcmp()` is kept in the codebase because it could be useful
in the future.

To avoid timing side-channel attacks, it is needed to use a constant
time memory comparison function when comparing hashes. The affected
code only cheks for equality so it isn't needed to use any variant of
memcmp(), bcmp() is enough.

Also, timingsafe_bcmp() is as fast as memcmp() when the two compared
regions are equal, so this change incurrs no performance hit in said
case. In case they are unequal, the boot sequence wouldn't continue as
normal, so performance is not an issue.

In mbedtls_x509_parser.c there are some static arrays that are filled
during the integrity check and then read whenever an authentication
parameter is requested. However, they aren't cleared in case of an
integrity check failure, which can be problematic from a security
point of view. This patch clears these arrays in the case of failure.

This comment block says the default algorithm is ESDSA, while the
code obviously sets the default to RSA:

  ifeq (${MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG},)
      MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG            :=      rsa
  endif

The git log of commit 7d37aa17

 ("TBB: add mbedTLS authentication
related libraries") states available options are:

  * 'rsa' (for RSA-2048) (default option)
  * 'ecdsa' (for ECDSA-SECP256R1)

So, my best guess is the comment block is wrong.

The mismatch between the code and the comment is confusing. Fix it.

This patch adds support for non-volatile counter authentication to
the Authentication Module. This method consists of matching the
counter values provided in the certificates with the ones stored
in the platform. If the value from the certificate is lower than
the platform, the boot process is aborted. This mechanism protects
the system against rollback.

The TBBR CoT has been updated to include this method as part of the
authentication process. Two counters are used: one for the trusted
world images and another for the non trusted world images.

** NEW PLATFORM APIs (mandatory when TBB is enabled) **

int plat_get_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int *nv_ctr);

    This API returns the non-volatile counter value stored
    in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be
    used to select the counter in case the platform provides
    more than one (i.e. TBSA compliant platforms must provide
    trusted and non-trusted counters). This cookie is specified
    in the CoT.

int plat_set_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int nv_ctr);

    This API sets a new counter value. The cookie may be
    used to select the counter to be updated.

An implementation of these new APIs for ARM platforms is also
provided. The values are obtained from the Trusted Non-Volatile
Counters peripheral. The cookie is used to pass the extension OID.
This OID may be interpreted by the platform to know which counter
must return. On Juno, The trusted and non-trusted counter values
have been tied to 31 and 223, respectively, and cannot be modified.

** IMPORTANT **

THIS PATCH BREAKS THE BUILD WHEN TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT IS ENABLED. THE
NEW PLATFORM APIs INTRODUCED IN THIS PATCH MUST BE IMPLEMENTED IN
ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY BUILD TF.

By default ARM TF is built with the '-pedantic' compiler flag, which
helps detecting violations of the C standard. However, the mbed TLS
library and its associated authentication module in TF used to fail
building with this compiler flag. As a workaround, the mbed TLS
authentication module makefile used to set the 'DISABLE_PEDANTIC'
TF build flag.

The compiler errors flagged by '-pedantic' in the mbed TLS library
have been fixed between versions 1.3.9 and 2.2.0 and the library now
properly builds with this compiler flag.

This patch fixes the remaining compiler errors in the mbed TLS
authentication module in TF and unsets the 'DISABLE_PEDANTIC' TF
build flag. This means that TF is now always built with '-pedantic'.

In particular, this patch:

 * Removes the final semi-colon in REGISTER_COT() macro.

   This semi-colon was causing the following error message:

   drivers/auth/tbbr/tbbr_cot.c:544:23: error: ISO C does not allow
   extra ';' outside of a function [-Werror=pedantic]

   This has been fixed both in the mbed TLS authentication module
   as well as in the certificate generation tool. Note that the latter
   code didn't need fixing since it is not built with '-pedantic' but
   the change has been propagated for consistency.

   Also fixed the REGISTER_KEYS() and REGISTER_EXTENSIONS() macros,
   which were suffering from the same issue.

 * Fixes a pointer type.

   It was causing the following error message:

   drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_crypto.c: In function 'verify_hash':
   drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_crypto.c:177:42: error: pointer of
   type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith]

The mbed TLS library has introduced some changes in the API from
the 1.3.x to the 2.x releases. Using the 2.x releases requires
some changes to the crypto and transport modules.

This patch updates both modules to the mbed TLS 2.x API.

All references to the mbed TLS library in the code or documentation
have been updated to 'mbed TLS'. Old references to PolarSSL have
been updated to 'mbed TLS'.

User guide updated to use mbed TLS 2.2.0.

NOTE: moving up to mbed TLS 2.x from 1.3.x is not backward compatible.
Applying this patch will require an mbed TLS 2.x release to be used.
Also note that the mbed TLS license changed to Apache version 2.0.

This patch adds the following mbedTLS based libraries:

* Cryptographic library

It is used by the crypto module to verify a digital signature
and a hash. This library relies on mbedTLS to perform the
cryptographic operations. mbedTLS sources must be obtained
separately.

Two key algorithms are currently supported:

    * RSA-2048
    * ECDSA-SECP256R1

The platform is responsible for picking up the required
algorithm by defining the 'MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG' variable in the
platform makefile. Available options are:

    * 'rsa' (for RSA-2048) (default option)
    * 'ecdsa' (for ECDSA-SECP256R1)

Hash algorithm currently supported is SHA-256.

* Image parser library

Used by the image parser module to extract the authentication
parameters stored in X509v3 certificates.
