      First step in fixing "ex_data" support. Warning: big commit log ... · 3a079997
      Geoff Thorpe 提交于
      Currently, this change merely addresses where ex_data indexes are stored
      and managed, and thus fixes the thread-safety issues that existed at that
      level. "Class" code (eg. RSA, DSA, etc) no longer store their own STACKS
      and per-class index counters - all such data is stored inside ex_data.c. So
      rather than passing both STACK+counter to index-management ex_data
      functions, a 'class_index' is instead passed to indicate the class (eg.
      CRYPTO_EX_INDEX_RSA). New classes can be dynamically registered on-the-fly
      and this is also thread-safe inside ex_data.c (though whether the caller
      manages the return value in a thread-safe way is not addressed).
      
      This does not change the "get/set" functions on individual "ex_data"
      structures, and so thread-safety at that level isn't (yet) assured.
      Likewise, the method of getting and storing per-class indexes has not
      changed, so locking may still be required at the "caller" end but is
      nonetheless thread-safe inside "ex_data"'s internal implementation.
      Typically this occurs when code implements a new method of some kind and
      stores its own per-class index in a global variable without locking the
      setting and usage of that variable. If the code in question is likely to be
      used in multiple threads, locking the setting and use of that index is
      still up to the code in question. Possible fixes to this are being
      sketched, but definitely require more major changes to the API itself than
      this change undertakes.
      
      The underlying implementation in ex_data.c has also been modularised so
      that alternative "ex_data" implementations (that control all access to
      state) can be plugged in. Eg. a loaded module can have its implementation
      set to that of the application loaded it - the result being that
      thread-safety and consistency of "ex_data" classes and indexes can be
      maintained in the same place rather than the loaded module using its own
      copy of ex_data support code and state.
      
      Due to the centralisation of "state" with this change, cleanup of all
      "ex_data" state can now be performed properly. Previously all allocation of
      ex_data state was guaranteed to leak - and MemCheck_off() had been used to
      avoid it flagging up the memory debugging. A new function has been added to
      perfrom all this cleanup, CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(). The "openssl"
      command(s) have been changed to use this cleanup, as have the relevant test
      programs. External application code may want to do so too - failure to
      cleanup will not induce more memory leaking than was the case before, but
      the memory debugging is not tricked into hiding it any more so it may
      "appear" where it previously did not.

      Make all configuration macros available for application by making · cf1b7d96

      sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
      with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
      sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
      opensslconf.h.
      
      I've checked fairly well that nothing breaks with this (apart from
      external software that will adapt if they have used something like
      NO_KRB5), but I can't guarantee it completely, so a review of this
      change would be a good thing.

      be needed in some ENGINE code, and might serve elsewhere as well.
      Note that it's implemented in such a way that the locking itself is
      done through the same CRYPTO_lock function as the static locks.
      
      WARNING: This is currently experimental and untested code (it will get
      tested soon, though :-)).
