NB: I've removed the "BN_clear_free()" loops for the exit-paths in some of
these functions, and that may be a major part of the performance
improvements we're seeing. The "free" part can be removed because we're
using BN_CTX. The "clear" part OTOH can be removed because BN_CTX
destruction automatically performs this task, so performing it inside
functions that may be called repeatedly is wasteful. This is currently safe
within openssl due to the fact that BN_CTX objects are never created for
longer than a single high-level operation. However, that is only because
there's currently no mechanism in openssl for thread-local storage. Beyond
that, this might be an issue for applications using the bignum API directly
and caching their own BN_CTX objects. The solution is to introduce a flag
to BN_CTX_start() that allows its variables to be automatically sanitised
on release during BN_CTX_end(). This way any higher-level function (and
perhaps the application) can specify this flag in its own
BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pair, and this will cause inner-loop functions
specifying the flag to be ignored so that sanitisation is handled only once
back out at the higher level. I will be implementing this in the near
future.
little TODO list in there as well as the debugging code (only enabled if
BN_CTX_DEBUG is defined).
I'd appreciate as much review and testing as can be spared for this. I'll
commit some changes to other parts of the bignum code shortly to make
better use of this implementation (no more fixed size limitations). Note
also that under identical optimisations, I'm seeing a noticable speed
increase over openssl-0.9.7 - so any feedback to confirm/deny this on other
systems would also be most welcome.
operations no longer require two distinct BN_CTX structures. This may put
more "strain" on the current BN_CTX implementation (which has a fixed limit
to the number of variables it will hold), but so far this limit is not
triggered by any of the tests pass and I will be changing BN_CTX in the
near future to avoid this problem anyway.
This also changes the default RSA implementation code to use the BN_CTX in
favour of initialising some of its variables locally in each function.

- Remove unnecessary zeroing of unused bytes in bn_expand2().

complexities probably date from old mismatched type issues.

needless allocation and gives it a return value that must be checked. This
change converts BN_zero() to a self-contained macro that has no

Note, it would be tempting to rewrite the deprecated version as a

of libcrypto, then it is possible that when they are loaded they will share
the same static data as the loading application/library. This means it will
be too late to set memory/ERR/ex_data/[etc] callbacks, but entirely
unnecessary to try.
This change (and a great part of this comment) was implemented in
0.9.8-dev a long time ago, but slightly differently. In 0.9.8-dev, a
specific function that just returns a pointer to some static object is
used. For 0.9.7x, we couldn't do that, since the way we handle feature
freezes is, among other, to not add any more non-static functions.
Instead, we use the function ERR_get_implementation() and compare the
returned value with fns->err_fns, a member of fns that already is
there, and which therefore can safely be used in this manner.
What happens is that if the loaded ENGINE's return value from this
function matches the loading application/library's return value - they
share static data. If they don't match, the loaded ENGINE has its own
copy of libcrypto's static data and so the callbacks need to be set.

In addition - this highlights some cruft in openssl that needs sorting out.
The tmdiff.h header is exported as part of the openssl API despite the fact
that it is ugly as the driven sludge and not used anywhere in the library,
applications, or utilities. More weird still, almost identical code exists
in apps/speed.c though it looks to be slightly tweaked - so either tmdiff
should be updated and used by speed.c, or it should be dumped because it's
obviously not useful enough.
Rather than removing it for now, I've changed the API for tmdiff to at
least make sense. This involves taking the object type (MS_TM) from the
implementation and using it in the header rather than using "char *" in the
API and casting mercilessly in the code (ugh). If someone doesn't like
"MS_TM" and the "ms_time_***" naming, by all means change it. This should
be a harmless improvement, because the existing API is clearly not very
useful (eg. we reimplement it rather than using it in our own utils).
