This commit improves the performance of ECDSA signature verification
(over NIST P-256 curve) for x86 platforms. The speedup is by a factor of 1.15x.
It does so by:
1) Leveraging the fact that the verification does not need
to run in constant time. To this end, we implemented:
a) the function ecp_nistz256_points_mul_public in a similar way to
the current ecp_nistz256_points_mul function by removing its constant
time features.
b) the Binary Extended Euclidean Algorithm (BEEU) in x86 assembly to
replace the current modular inverse function used for the inversion.
2) The last step in the ECDSA_verify function compares the (x) affine
coordinate with the signature (r) value. Converting x from the Jacobian's
representation to the affine coordinate requires to perform one inversions
(x_affine = x * z^(-2)). We save this inversion and speed up the computations
by instead bringing r to x (r_jacobian = r*z^2) which is faster.
The measured results are:

This is slower, but constant-time. It intentionally omits the signed
digit optimization because we cannot be sure the doubling case will be
unreachable for all curves. This is a fallback generic implementation
for curves which we must support for compatibility but which are not
common or important enough to justify curve-specific work.

EC_POINT is split into the existing public EC_POINT (where the caller is
sanity-checked about group mismatches) and the low-level EC_RAW_POINT
(which, like EC_FELEM and EC_SCALAR, assume that is your problem and is
a plain old struct). Having both EC_POINT and EC_RAW_POINT is a little
silly, but we're going to want different type signatures for functions
which return void anyway (my plan is to lift a non-BIGNUM
get_affine_coordinates up through the ECDSA and ECDH code), so I think
it's fine.
This wasn't strictly necessary, but wnaf.c is a lot tidier now. Perf is
a wash; once we get up to this layer, it's only 8 entries in the table
so not particularly interesting.

Replace them with asserts and better justify why each of the internal

it is obvious there is no memory error. (The previous loop shape made
more sense when ec_compute_wNAF would return a variable length

This introduces EC_FELEM, which is analogous to EC_SCALAR. It is used
for EC_POINT's representation in the generic EC_METHOD, as well as
random operations on tuned EC_METHODs that still are implemented
genericly.
Unlike EC_SCALAR, EC_FELEM's exact representation is awkwardly specific
to the EC_METHOD, analogous to how the old values were BIGNUMs but may
or may not have been in Montgomery form. This is kind of a nuisance, but
no more than before. (If p224-64.c were easily convertable to Montgomery
form, we could say |EC_FELEM| is always in Montgomery form. If we
exposed the internal add and double implementations in each of the
curves, we could give |EC_POINT| an |EC_METHOD|-specific representation
and |EC_FELEM| is purely a |EC_GFp_mont_method| type. I'll leave this
for later.)
The generic add and doubling formulas are aligned with the formulas
proved in fiat-crypto. Those only applied to a = -3, so I've proved a
generic one in https://github.com/mit-plv/fiat-crypto/pull/356, in case
someone uses a custom curve. The new formulas are verified,
constant-time, and swap a multiply for a square. As expressed in
fiat-crypto they do use more temporaries, but this seems to be fine with
stack-allocated EC_FELEMs. (We can try to help the compiler later,
but benchamrks below suggest this isn't necessary.)
Unlike BIGNUM, EC_FELEM can be stack-allocated. It also captures the
bounds in the type system and, in particular, that the width is correct,
which will make it easier to select a point in constant-time in the
future. (Indeed the old code did not always have the correct width. Its
point formula involved halving and implemented this in variable time and
variable width.)

This does not appear to actually pull its weight. The purpose of this
logic is to switch some adds to the faster add_mixed in the wNAF code,
at the cost of a rather expensive inversion. This optimization kicks in
for generic curves, so P-384 and P-521:

Did 11433 ECDSA P-521 verify operations in 30021876us (380.8 ops/sec)
For single-point multiplication, the optimization is not useful. This
makes sense as we only have one table's worth of additions to convert
but still pay for the inversion. For double-point multiplication, it is
slightly useful for P-384 and very useful for P-521. However, the next
change to stack-allocate EC_FELEMs will more than compensate for
removing it. (The immediate goal here is to simplify the EC_FELEM
story.)
Additionally, that this optimization was not useful for single-point
multiplication implies that, should we wish to recover this, a modest
8-entry pre-computed (affine) base point table should have the same
effect or better.
Update-Note: I do not believe anything was calling either of these
functions. (If necessary, we can always add no-op stubs as whether a
point is affine is not visible to external code. It previously kicked in
some optimizations, but those were removed for constant-time needs
anyway.)

The generic code special-cases affine points, but this leaks
information. (Of course, the generic code also doesn't have a
constant-time multiply and other problems, but one thing at a time.)
The optimization in point doubling is not useful. Point multiplication
more-or-less never doubles an affine point. The optimization in point
addition *is* useful because the wNAF code converts the tables to
affine. Accordingly, align with the P-256 code which adds a 'mixed'
parameter.
(I haven't aligned the formally-verified point formulas themselves yet;
initial testing suggests that the large number of temporaries take a
perf hit with BIGNUM. I'll check the results in EC_FELEM, which will be
stack-allocated, to see if we still need to help the compiler out.)
Strangly, it actually got a bit faster with this change. I'm guessing
because now it doesn't need to bother with unnecessary comparisons and
maybe was kinder to the branch predictor?

This is in preparation for representing field elements with
stack-allocated types in the generic code. While there is likely little
benefit in threading all the turned field arithmetic through all the
generic code, and the P-224 logic, in particular, does not have a tight
enough abstraction for this, the current implementations depend on
BN_div, which is not compatible with stack-allocating things and avoiding
malloc.
This also speeds things up slightly, now that benchmarks cover point

This reuses wnaf.c's window scheduling, but has access to the tuned
field arithemetic and pre-computed base point table. Unlike wnaf.c, we
do not make the points affine as it's not worth it for a single table.
(We already precomputed the base point table.)
Annoyingly, 32-bit x86 gets slower by a bit, but the other platforms are
faster. My guess is that that the generic code gets to use the
bn_mul_mont assembly and the compiler, faced with the increased 32-bit
register pressure and the extremely register-poor x86, is making
bad decisions on the otherwise P-256-tuned C code. The three platforms
that see much larger gains are significantly more important than 32-bit

This has no behavior change, but it has a semantic one. This CL is an
assertion that all BIGNUM functions tolerate non-minimal BIGNUMs now.
Specifically:
- Functions that do not touch top/width are assumed to not care.
- Functions that do touch top/width will be changed by this CL. These
should be checked in review that they tolerate non-minimal BIGNUMs.
Subsequent CLs will start adjusting the widths that BIGNUM functions
output, to fix timing leaks.

The fiat-crypto-generated code uses the Montgomery form implementation
strategy, for both 32-bit and 64-bit code.
64-bit throughput seems slower, but the difference is smaller than noise between repetitions (-2%?)
32-bit throughput has decreased significantly for ECDH (-40%). I am
attributing this to the change from varibale-time scalar multiplication
to constant-time scalar multiplication. Due to the same bottleneck,
ECDSA verification still uses the old code (otherwise there would have
been a 60% throughput decrease). On the other hand, ECDSA signing
throughput has increased slightly (+10%), perhaps due to the use of a
precomputed table of multiples of the base point.

Along the way, this allows us to tidy up the invariants associated with
EC_SCALAR. They were fuzzy around ec_point_mul_scalar and some
computations starting from the digest in ECDSA. The latter I've put into
the type system with EC_LOOSE_SCALAR.
As for the former, Andres points out that particular EC implementations
are only good for scalars within a certain range, otherwise you may need
extra work to avoid the doubling case. To simplify curve
implementations, we reduce them fully rather than do the looser bit size
check, so they can have the stronger precondition to work with.

None of the asymmetric crypto we inherented from OpenSSL is
constant-time because of BIGNUM. BIGNUM chops leading zeros off the
front of everything, so we end up leaking information about the first
word, in theory. BIGNUM functions additionally tend to take the full
range of inputs and then call into BN_nnmod at various points.
All our secret values should be acted on in constant-time, but k in
ECDSA is a particularly sensitive value. So, ecdsa_sign_setup, in an
attempt to mitigate the BIGNUM leaks, would add a couple copies of the
order.
This does not work at all. k is used to compute two values: k^-1 and kG.
The first operation when computing k^-1 is to call BN_nnmod if k is out
of range. The entry point to our tuned constant-time curve
implementations is to call BN_nnmod if the scalar has too many bits,
which this causes. The result is both corrections are immediately undone
but cause us to do more variable-time work in the meantime.
Replace all these computations around k with the word-based functions
added in the various preceding CLs. In doing so, replace the BN_mod_mul
calls (which internally call BN_nnmod) with Montgomery reduction. We can
avoid taking k^-1 out of Montgomery form, which combines nicely with
Brian Smith's trick in 3426d10119. Along
the way, we avoid some unnecessary mallocs.
BIGNUM still affects the private key itself, as well as the EC_POINTs.
But this should hopefully be much better now. Also it's 10% faster:

I still need to revive the original CL, but right now I'm interested in
giving every EC_GROUP an order_mont and having different ownership of
that field between built-in and custom groups is kind of a nuisance. If
I'm going to do that anyway, better to avoid computing the entire
EC_GROUP in one go.
I'm using some manual locking rather than CRYPTO_once here so that it
behaves well in the face of malloc errors. Not that we especially care,
but it was easy to do.
This speeds up our ECDH benchmark a bit which otherwise must construct the
EC_GROUP each time (matching real world usage).

Later code will take advantage of these invariants. Enforcing them on

Currently we only check that the underlying EC_METHODs match, which
avoids the points being in different forms, but not that the points are
on the same curves. (We fixed the APIs early on so off-curve EC_POINTs
cannot be created.)
In particular, this comes up with folks implementating Java's crypto
APIs with ECDH_compute_key. These APIs are both unfortunate and should
not be mimicked, as they allow folks to mismatch the groups on the two
multiple EC_POINTs. Instead, ECDH APIs should take the public value as a
byte string.
Thanks also to Java's poor crypto APIs, we must support custom curves,
which makes this particularly gnarly. This CL makes EC_GROUP_cmp work
with custom curves and adds an additional subtle requirement to
EC_GROUP_set_generator.
Annoyingly, this change is additionally subtle because we now have a
reference cycle to hack around.

I really need to resurrect the CL to make them entirely static
(https://crbug.com/boringssl/20), but, in the meantime, to make
replacing the EC_METHOD pointer in EC_POINT with EC_GROUP not
*completely* insane, make them refcounted.
OpenSSL did not do this because their EC_GROUPs are mutable
(EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag and EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form). Ours
are immutable but for the two-function dance around custom curves (more
of OpenSSL's habit of making their objects too complex), which is good
enough to refcount.

Reason for revert: This doesn't actually work in clang-cl. I
forgot we didn't have the clang-cl try bots enabled! :-( I
believe __asm__ is still okay, but I'll try it by hand
tomorrow.
