openssl: add legacy provider
This adapts the engine build infrastructure to allow building providers,
and packages the legacy provider.  Providers are the successors of
engines, which have been deprecated.

The legacy provider supplies OpenSSL implementations of algorithms that
have been deemed legacy, including DES, IDEA, MDC2, SEED, and Whirlpool.

Even though these algorithms are implemented in a separate package,
their removal makes the regular library smaller by 3%, so the build
options will remain to allow lean custom builds.  Their defaults will
change to 'y' if not bulding for a small flash, so that the regular
legacy package will contain a complete set of algorithms.

The engine build and configuration structure was changed to accomodate
providers, and adapt to the new style of openssl.cnf in version 3.0.

There is not a clean upgrade path for the /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf file,
installed by the openssl-conf package.  It is recommended to rename or
remove the old config file when flashing an image with the updated
openssl-conf package, then apply the changes manually.

An old openssl.cnf file will silently work, but new engine or provider
packages will not be enabled.  Any remaining engine config files under
/etc/ssl/engines.cnf.d can be removed.

On the build side, the include file used by engine packages was renamed
to openssl-module.mk, so the engine packages in other feeds need to
adapt.

config OPENSSL_OPTIMIZE_SPEED
bool
default y if x86_64 || i386
prompt "Enable optimization for speed instead of size"
select OPENSSL_WITH_ASM
help
Enabling this option increases code size and performance.
The increase in performance and size depends on the
target CPU. EC and AES seem to benefit the most.
config OPENSSL_SMALL_FOOTPRINT
bool
depends on !OPENSSL_OPTIMIZE_SPEED
default y if SMALL_FLASH || LOW_MEMORY_FOOTPRINT
prompt "Build with OPENSSL_SMALL_FOOTPRINT (read help)"
help
This turns on -DOPENSSL_SMALL_FOOTPRINT. This will save only
1-3% of of the ipk size. The performance drop depends on
architecture and algorithm. MIPS drops 13% of performance for
a 3% decrease in ipk size. On Aarch64, for a 1% reduction in
size, ghash and GCM performance decreases 90%, while
Chacha20-Poly1305 is 15% slower. X86_64 drops 1% of its size
for 3% of performance. Other arches have not been tested.
config OPENSSL_WITH_ASM
bool
default y
prompt "Compile with optimized assembly code"
depends on !arc
help
Disabling this option will reduce code size and performance.
The increase in performance and size depends on the target
CPU and on the algorithms being optimized.
config OPENSSL_WITH_SSE2
bool
default y if !TARGET_x86_legacy && !TARGET_x86_geode
prompt "Enable use of x86 SSE2 instructions"
depends on OPENSSL_WITH_ASM && i386
help
Use of SSE2 instructions greatly increase performance with a
minimum increase in package size, but it will bring no benefit
if your hardware does not support them, such as Geode GX and LX.
AMD Geode NX, and Intel Pentium 4 and above support SSE2.
config OPENSSL_WITH_DEPRECATED
bool
default y
prompt "Include deprecated APIs"

This drops all deprecated API, including engine support.

config OPENSSL_WITH_ERROR_MESSAGES
bool
default y if !OPENSSL_SMALL_FOOTPRINT || (!SMALL_FLASH && !LOW_MEMORY_FOOTPRINT)
prompt "Include error messages"
help
This option aids debugging, but increases package size and
memory usage.
comment "Protocol Support"
config OPENSSL_WITH_TLS13
bool
default y
prompt "Enable support for TLS 1.3"
help
TLS 1.3 is the newest version of the TLS specification.
It aims:
* to increase the overall security of the protocol,
removing outdated algorithms, and encrypting more of the
protocol;
* to increase performance by reducing the number of round-trips
when performing a full handshake.
config OPENSSL_WITH_DTLS
bool
prompt "Enable DTLS support"
help
Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) provides TLS-like security
for datagram-based (UDP, DCCP, CAPWAP, SCTP & SRTP) applications.
config OPENSSL_WITH_NPN
bool
prompt "Enable NPN support"
help
NPN is a TLS extension, obsoleted and replaced with ALPN,
used to negotiate SPDY, and HTTP/2.
config OPENSSL_WITH_SRP

help
The Secure Remote Password protocol (SRP) is an augmented
password-authenticated key agreement (PAKE) protocol, specifically
designed to work around existing patents.
config OPENSSL_WITH_CMS

help
Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) is used to digitally sign,
digest, authenticate, or encrypt arbitrary message content.
comment "Algorithm Selection"
config OPENSSL_WITH_EC2M

This option enables the more efficient, yet less common, binary
field elliptic curves.
config OPENSSL_WITH_CHACHA_POLY1305
bool
default y
prompt "Enable ChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphersuite support"
help
ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD ciphersuite with 256-bit keys,
combining ChaCha stream cipher with Poly1305 MAC.
It is 3x faster than AES, when not using a CPU with AES-specific
instructions, as is the case of most embedded devices.
config OPENSSL_PREFER_CHACHA_OVER_GCM
bool
default y if !x86_64 && !aarch64
prompt "Prefer ChaCha20-Poly1305 over AES-GCM by default"
depends on OPENSSL_WITH_CHACHA_POLY1305
help
The default openssl preference is for AES-GCM before ChaCha, but
that takes into account AES-NI capable chips. It is not the
case with most embedded chips, so it may be better to invert
that preference. This is just for the default case. The
application can always override this.
config OPENSSL_WITH_PSK
bool
default y
prompt "Enable PSK support"
help
Build support for Pre-Shared Key based cipher suites.
comment "Less commonly used build options"
config OPENSSL_WITH_ARIA
bool
prompt "Enable ARIA support"
help
ARIA is a block cipher developed in South Korea, based on AES.
config OPENSSL_WITH_CAMELLIA

help
Camellia is a bock cipher with security levels and processing
abilities comparable to AES.
config OPENSSL_WITH_IDEA
bool
default y if !SMALL_FLASH
prompt "Enable IDEA cipher support (needs legacy provider)"
help
IDEA is a block cipher with 128-bit keys.
To use the cipher, one must install the libopenssl-legacy
package, using a main libopenssl package compiled with this
option enabled as well.
config OPENSSL_WITH_SEED
bool
default y if !SMALL_FLASH
prompt "Enable SEED cipher support (needs legacy provider)"
help
SEED is a block cipher with 128-bit keys broadly used in
South Korea, but seldom found elsewhere.
To use the cipher, one must install the libopenssl-legacy
package, using a main libopenssl package compiled with this
option enabled as well.
config OPENSSL_WITH_SM234
bool
prompt "Enable SM2/3/4 algorithms support"
help
These algorithms are a set of "Commercial Cryptography"
algorithms approved for use in China.
* SM2 is an EC algorithm equivalent to ECDSA P-256
* SM3 is a hash function equivalent to SHA-256
* SM4 is a 128-block cipher equivalent to AES-128

help
TLS compression is not recommended, as it is deemed insecure.
The CRIME attack exploits this weakness.
Even with this option turned on, it is disabled by default, and the
application must explicitly turn it on.
config OPENSSL_WITH_RFC3779
bool
prompt "Enable RFC3779 support (BGP)"
help
RFC 3779 defines two X.509 v3 certificate extensions. The first
binds a list of IP address blocks, or prefixes, to the subject of a
certificate. The second binds a list of autonomous system
identifiers to the subject of a certificate. These extensions may be
used to convey the authorization of the subject to use the IP
addresses and autonomous system identifiers contained in the
extensions.
comment "Engine/Hardware Support"
config OPENSSL_ENGINE
bool "Enable engine support"
select OPENSSL_WITH_DEPRECATED
default y
help
This enables alternative cryptography implementations,
most commonly for interfacing with external crypto devices,
or supporting new/alternative ciphers and digests.
If you compile the library with this option disabled, packages built
using an engine-enabled library (i.e. from the official repo) may
fail to run. Compile and install the packages with engine support
disabled, and you should be fine.
Note that you need to enable KERNEL_AIO to be able to build the
afalg engine package.
config OPENSSL_ENGINE_BUILTIN
bool "Build chosen engines into libcrypto"
depends on OPENSSL_ENGINE
help
This builds all chosen engines into libcrypto.so, instead of building
them as dynamic engines in separate packages.
The benefit of building the engines into libcrypto is that they won't
require any configuration to be used by default.

This enables use of hardware acceleration through OpenBSD
Cryptodev API (/dev/crypto) interface.
Even though configuration is not strictly needed, it is worth seeing
https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/hardware/cryptographic.hardware.accelerators
for information on how to configure the engine.

depends on OPENSSL_ENGINE && USE_GLIBC
help
Enables async-aware applications to be able to use OpenSSL to
initiate crypto operations asynchronously. In order to work
this will require the presence of an async capable engine.
