Users can override the new default behavior in the usual way. The
expectation is that the build of BoringSSL they provide the feature set
implemented by the patch.
Per BoringSSL's FIPS policy, its `main` branch is the "update branch"
for FedRAMP compliance's purposes.
This means that we can stop using a specific BoringSSL branch when
enabling FIPS, as well as a number of hacks that allowed us to build
more recent BoringSSL versions with an older pre-compiled FIPS modules.
This also required slightly updating the main BoringSSL submodule, as
the previous version had an issue when building with the FIPS option
enabled. This is turn required some changes to the PQ patch as well as
some APIs that don't seem to be exposed publicly, as well as changing
some paths in the other patches.
In order to allow a smooth upgrade of internal projects, the `fips-compat`
feature is reduced in scope and renamed to `legacy-compat-deprecated` so
that we can incrementally upgrade internal BoringSSL forks. In practice
this shouldn't really be something anyone else would need, since in
order to work it requires a specific mix of BoringSSL version and
backported patches.
Newer versions of FIPS don't need any special casing in our bindings,
unlike the submoduled boringssl-fips. In addition, many users currently
use FIPS by precompiling BoringSSL with the proper build tools and
passing that in to the bindings.
Until we adopt the Update Stream pattern for FIPS, there are two main
use cases:
1. Passing an unmodified, precompiled FIPS validated version of
boringssl (fips-precompiled)
2. Passing a custom source directory of boringssl meant to be linked
with a FIPS validated bcm.o. This is mainly useful if you carry
custom patches but still want to use a FIPS validated BoringCrypto.
(fips-link-precompiled)
This commit introduces the `fips-precompiled` feature and removes the
`fips-no-compat` feature.
Feature no-patches is ever only useful when setting other env variables
BORING_BSSL{,_FIPS}{,_SOURCE}_PATH, and it has no impact on the APIs
provided by any of the boring crates, so we may as well make it an env
variable itself so downstream users have less features to propagate
across their own crate graph.
Builds using feature fips or fips-link-precompiled now
read variables prefixed by BORING_BSSL_FIPS_ instead of
BORING_BSSL_. This helps complex builds where build dependencies
also use boring, where we may not want to use fips there.
Without those separate variables, the boring build for the
build dependencies end up relying on e.g. BORING_BSSL_PATH,
causing errors if this path is a boring checkout intended for
fips builds, while the fips feature isn't enabled for
the build dependency.
Using a struct improves navigation of the build script,
as we can rely on rust-analyzer to help us check how
a feature flag or an environment variable is used,
as opposed to grepping for multiple env::var calls
or #[cfg] attributes.
This commit also removes some obsolete blocks of code
related to the now defunct ndk-old-gcc and fuzzing features.
Overwrite boringSSL's default key exchange preferences with safe
defaults using feature flags:
* "kx-pq-supported" enables support for PQ key exchange algorithms.
Classical key exchange is still preferred, but will be upgraded to PQ
if requested.
* "kx-pq-preferred" enables preference for PQ key exchange,
with fallback to classical key exchange if requested.
* "kx-nist-required" disables non-NIST key exchange.
Each feature implies "kx-safe-default". When this feature is enabled,
don't compile bindings for `SSL_CTX_set1_curves()` and `SslCurve`. This
is to prevent the feature flags from silently overriding curve
preferences chosen by the user.
Ideally we'd allow both: that is, use "kx-*" to set defaults, but still
allow the user to manually override them. However, this doesn't work
because by the time the `SSL_CTX` is constructed, we don't yet know
whether we're the client or server. (The "kx-*" features set different
preferences for each.) If "kx-sfe-default" is set, then the curve
preferences are set just before initiating a TLS handshake
(`SslStreamBuilder::connect()`) or waiting for a TLS handshake
(`SslStreamBuilder::accept()`).
This commit modifies the Cargo `include` field for `boring-sys` to
include all the files necessary to actually build the FIPS-certified
revision of BoringSSL. Currently, some of these files are missing (see
#157 for details on this).
This branch improves on my previous approach in PR #158, which switched
from using a Cargo `include` to a Cargo `exclude`. Using `exclude`
rather than `include` resulted in a much larger crates.io package, but
at the time, I thought this was less likely to result in breakage in the
future, because I was concerned about the inability to verify that the
set of excludes/includes can build a new pinned `boringssl` git revision
without having to actually publish a crates.io release.
However, as @nox pointed out in [this comment][1], `cargo package` can
be used to verify a build with the `exclude`s/`include`s applied. This
branch therefore adds `cargo package` steps to CI that check that the
package can actually be built. This way, we are able to make a much
smaller change to the included files, resulting in a smaller package
published to crates.io.
On this branch, the package is 6.7MiB compressed, which is not much
larger than it was previously:
```
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 55.65s
Packaged 1851 files, 33.7MiB (6.7MiB compressed)
```

Previously we were building from the deps directory with submodules. For publishing we were copying files in sumbodules into the package. With this we were making the package directory dirty with build artifacts and applied patches.
This commit change the build script's behaviour: sources are now copied to the output directory and then boringssl is built from there.
In addition, this commit adds files that were missing from the package for building with patches.
* Add rerun-if-env-changed instructions for BORING_* variables
* Use X509_get0_notBefore() and X509_get0_notAfter() instead of X509_getm_notBefore() and X509_getm_notAfter().
According to
https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.0/man3/X509_getm_notBefore.html,
"X509_getm_notBefore() and X509_getm_notAfter() are similar to
X509_get0_notBefore() and X509_get0_notAfter() except they return
non-constant mutable references to the associated date field of the
certificate".
* Only update boringssl submodule if BORING_BSSL_PATH not provided
* Allow BORING_BSSL_LIB_PATH to control link search
* Add fips feature
* Use X509_set_notAfter unconditionally for FIPS compatibility
This is equivalent according to
https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/+/c947efabcbc38dcf93e8ad0e6a76206cf0ec8072
The version of boringssl that's FIPS-certified doesn't have `X509_set1_notAfter`.
The only difference between that and `X509_set_notAfter` is whether they're const-correct,
which doesn't seem worth having two different code-paths.
* Check out fips commit automatically
* Verify the version of the compiler used for building boringssl
NIST specifies that it needs to be 7.0.1; I originally tried building with clang 10 and it failed.
Theoretically this should check the versions of Go and Ninja too, but they haven't given me trouble in practice.

- Major version for boring-sys: `PasswordCallback` was removed
- Major version for boring: the public `*Ref` types were removed and `foreign-types` appears in our public api and had a major version bump
- Patch version for tokio-boring: the only API change was removing the `S: Debug` bound
- Patch version for hyper-boring: no API changes, only removed dependencies
`bindgen`'s default features include dependencies like `clap` and
`env_logger` which are unnecessary when building `boring-sys`. When
using tools like `cargo-deny` to audit dependencies with mismatched
versions, these dependencies can easily conflict with application
dependencies.
This change disables `bindgen`'s default features to avoid unnecessary
dependencies.
This ensures that all the Rust functions, types and constants
always match the actual BoringSSL definitions.
It also removes quite a lot of manually maintained code, as well
as the need for systest.
The value for `SslOptions::ALL`, for example, was wrong. On current
BoringSSL versions, this is a no-op, and is set to `0`.
Clearing it does nothing. So, the `clear_ctx_options` test, that
passed by accident, was adjusted to use a different option.
The `libc` crate is not required, as we only use it for types that
are already defined in the standard library. It was removed from
`boring-sys`. The same can be done to other crates later.
