Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
crypto.bcrypt: allow very large passwords to be pre-hashed
bcrypt has a slightly annoying limitation: passwords are limited
to 72 characters. In the original implementation, additional characters
are silently ignored.
When they care, applications adopt different strategies to work around
this, in incompatible ways.
Ideally, large passwords should be pre-hashed using a hash function that
hinders GPU attackers, and the hashed function should not be deterministic
in order to defeat shucking attacks.
This change improves the developer experience by adding a very explicit
`silently_truncate_password` option, that can be set to `false` in
order to do that automatically, and consistently across Zig applications.
By default, passwords are still truncated, so this is not a breaking
change.
Add some inline documentation for our beloved autodoc by the way.
Individual max buffer sizes are well known, now that arithmetic doesn't
require allocations any more.
Also bump `main_cert_pub_key_buf`, so that e.g. `nodejs.org` public
keys can fit.
* std.crypto: faster ghash and polyval on WebAssembly
Before: 91 MiB/s
After : 243 MiB/s
Some other platforms might benefit from this, but WebAssembly is
the obvious one (simd128 doesn't make a difference).
Support for 64-bit counters was a hack built upon the version with
a 32-bit counter, that emulated a larger counter by splitting the
input into large blocks.
This is fragile, particularily if the initial counter is set to
a non-default value and if we have parallelism.
Simply add a comptime parameter to check if we have a 32 bit or a
64 bit counter instead.
Also convert a couple while() loops to for(), and change @panic()
to @compileError().
These operations are constant-time on most, if not all currently
supported architectures. However, even if they are not, this is not
a big deal in the case on Poly1305, as the key is added at the end.
The final addition remains protected.
SalsaPoly and ChaChaPoly do encrypt-then-mac, so side channels would
not leak anything about the plaintext anyway.
* Apple Silicon (M1)
Before: 2048 MiB/s
After : 2823 MiB/s
* AMD Ryzen 7
Before: 3165 MiB/s
After : 4774 MiB/s
* std.crypto.chacha: support larger vectors on AVX2 and AVX512 targets
Ryzen 7 7700, ChaCha20/8 stream, long outputs:
Generic: 3268 MiB/s
AVX2 : 6023 MiB/s
AVX512 : 8086 MiB/s
Bump the rand.chacha buffer a tiny bit to take advantage of this.
More than 8 blocks doesn't seem to make any measurable difference.
ChaChaPoly also gets a small performance boost from this, albeit
Poly1305 remains the bottleneck.
Generic: 707 MiB/s
AVX2 : 981 MiB/s
AVX512 : 1202 MiB/s
aarch64 appears to generally benefit from 4-way vectorization.
Verified on Apple Silicon, but also on a Cortex A72.
A minimal set of simple, safe functions for Montgomery arithmetic,
designed for cryptographic primitives.
Also update the current RSA cert validation to use it, getting rid
of the FixedBuffer hack and the previous limitations.
Make the check of the RSA public key a little bit more strict by
the way.
This commit removes the `field_call_bind` and `field_call_bind_named` ZIR
instructions, replacing them with a `field_call` instruction which does the bind
and call in one.
`field_call_bind` is an unfortunate instruction. It's tied into one very
specific usage pattern - its result can only be used as a callee. This means
that it creates a value of a "pseudo-type" of sorts, `bound_fn` - this type used
to exist in Zig, but now we just hide it from the user and have AstGen ensure
it's only used in one way. This is quite silly - `Type` and `Value` should, as
much as possible, reflect real Zig types and values.
It makes sense to instead encode the `a.b()` syntax as its own ZIR instruction,
so that's what we do here. This commit introduces a new instruction,
`field_call`. It's like `call`, but rather than a callee ref, it contains a ref
to the object pointer (`&a` in `a.b()`) and the string field name (`b`). This
eliminates `bound_fn` from the language, and slightly decreases the size of
generated ZIR - stats below.
This commit does remove a few usages which used to be allowed:
- `@field(a, "b")()`
- `@call(.auto, a.b, .{})`
- `@call(.auto, @field(a, "b"), .{})`
These forms used to work just like `a.b()`, but are no longer allowed. I believe
this is the correct choice for a few reasons:
- `a.b()` is a purely *syntactic* form; for instance, `(a.b)()` is not valid.
This means it is *not* inconsistent to not allow it in these cases; the
special case here isn't "a field access as a callee", but rather this exact
syntactic form.
- The second argument to `@call` looks much more visually distinct from the
callee in standard call syntax. To me, this makes it seem strange for that
argument to not work like a normal expression in this context.
- A more practical argument: it's confusing! `@field` and `@call` are used in
very different contexts to standard function calls: the former normally hints
at some comptime machinery, and the latter that you want more precise control
over parts of a function call. In these contexts, you don't want implicit
arguments adding extra confusion: you want to be very explicit about what
you're doing.
Lastly, some stats. I mentioned before that this change slightly reduces the
size of ZIR - this is due to two instructions (`field_call_bind` then `call`)
being replaced with one (`field_call`). Here are some numbers:
+--------------+----------+----------+--------+
| File | Before | After | Change |

* When there is buffered cleartext, return it without calling the
underlying read function. This prevents buffer overflow due to space
used up by cleartext.
* Avoid clearing the buffer when the buffered cleartext could not be
completely given to the result read buffer, and there is some
buffered ciphertext left.
* Instead of rounding up the amount of bytes to ask for to the nearest
TLS record size, round down, with a minimum of 1. This prevents the
code path from being taken which requires extra memory copies.
* Avoid calling `@memcpy` with overlapping arguments.
closes#15590
The majority of these are in comments, some in doc comments which might
affect the generated documentation, and a few in parameter names -
nothing that should be breaking, however.
* Sema: upgrade operands to array pointers if possible when emitting
AIR.
* Implement safety checks for length mismatch and aliasing.
* AIR: make ptrtoint support slice operands. Implement in LLVM backend.
* C backend: implement new `@memset` semantics. `@memcpy` is not done
yet.
Now they use slices or array pointers with any element type instead of
requiring byte pointers.
This is a breaking enhancement to the language.
The safety check for overlapping pointers will be implemented in a
future commit.
closes#14040
Tests that only reference decls for the purpose of analyzing more tests
should be unnamed, otherwise trying to filter for just a referenced test
can become impossible depending on the names.
