2021-01-14Enhance default provider documentationMichael Baentsch
Bring Wiki and man page documentation in line regarding default provider fall-back behaviour. Fixes #13844 Reviewed-by: Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org> Reviewed-by: Matt Caswell <matt@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/13859)
2021-01-14Enable locking on the primary DRBG when we create itMatt Caswell
The primary DRBG may be shared across multiple threads and therefore we must use locking to access it. Previously we were enabling that locking lazily when we attempted to obtain one of the child DRBGs. Part of the process of enabling the lock, is to create the lock. But if we create the lock lazily then it is too late - we may race with other threads where each thread is independently attempting to enable the locking. This results in multiple locks being created - only one of which "sticks" and the rest are leaked. Instead we enable locking on the primary when we first create it. This is already locked and therefore we cannot race. Reviewed-by: Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/13660)

2021-01-09replace 'unsigned const char' with 'const unsigned char'Thomas De Schampheleire
The openssl code base has only a few occurrences of 'unsigned const char' (15 occurrences), compared to the more common 'const unsigned char' (4420 occurrences). While the former is not illegal C, mixing the 'const' keyword (a 'type qualifier') in between 'unsigned' and 'char' (both 'type specifiers') is a bit odd. The background for writing this patch is not to be pedantic, but because the 'opmock' program (used to mock headers for unit tests) does not accept the 'unsigned const char' construct. While this definitely is a bug in opmock or one of its dependencies, openssl is the only piece of software we are using in combination with opmock that has this construct.

2020-12-17CORE: Separate OSSL_PROVIDER activation from OSSL_PROVIDER referenceRichard Levitte
This introduces a separate activation counter, and the function ossl_provider_deactivate() for provider deactivation. Something to be noted is that if the reference count goes down to zero, we don't care if the activation count is non-zero (i.e. someone forgot to call ossl_provider_deactivate()). Since there are no more references to the provider, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that deactivation doesn't remove the provider as long as there are references to it, for example because there are live methods associated with that provider, but still makes the provider unavailable to create new methods from.

2020-12-13DOCS: Improve documentation of the EVP_PKEY typeRichard Levitte
This type was previously described in a note, which is hard to find unless you already know where to look. This change makes the description more prominent, and allows indexing by adding it in the NAMES section. The EVP_PKEY description is altered to conceptually allow an EVP_PKEY to contain a private key without a corresponding public key. This is related to an OTC vote: https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-project/2020-December/002474.html The description of EVP_PKEY for MAC purposes is amended to fit.
