- install-apt-deps: the ghcr offline-install path now honors the
no-install-recommends input; it was always installing recommends,
diverging from the regular apt path.
- install-apt-deps: correct the ghcr-debs-tag example to a real tag
(ubuntu-24.04-minimal) - ci-deps-image publishes -minimal/-full
variants, not a bare <ver> tag.
- os-check: fix the schedule header comment - macOS runs --build-only on
the weekday cron to seed its ccache (like the linux shards); only
Windows is skipped on schedule.
The 10 GB, LRU-evicted, PR-scoped Actions cache was being thrashed - the
docker simulator buildx layers (~6 GiB), plus per-PR ccache and apt-archive
writes whose keys never hit - which kept evicting the shared ccache, while
the apt mirror timed out often enough to break PR CI. Move the heavy caches
to ghcr (free, separate pool) and make PR runs read-only against the Actions
cache.
apt dependencies from prebuilt ghcr .deb bundles
- ci-deps-image.yml resolves each package list under .github/ci-deps/ into
its .deb closure and publishes ghcr.io/<owner>/wolfssl-ci-debs:<tag> in
two tiers: <ver>-minimal (make-check family) and <ver>-full (interop
superset), for ubuntu-22.04 and 24.04.
- install-apt-deps gains a ghcr-debs-tag input: pull the bundle and install
offline (--no-download) so the apt mirror is never on the PR critical
path. Any failure (bundle missing/not public/incomplete) falls through to
the existing apt path, so it is always safe to set.
sim-test buildx layers to a shared ghcr registry cache
- the 7 docker simulator workflows switch from cache-to: type=gha to
ghcr.io/wolfssl/wolfssl-sim-cache:<scope>. cache-from reads on every run
(anonymous); cache-to writes only on the weekend cron and manual
workflow_dispatch. Per-distinct-image tags and de-duplicated writers keep
parallel matrix jobs from racing on one ref.
ccache: PRs read, the schedule writes
- ccache-setup gains read-only: PR runs restore the shared master-scoped
cache but never upload; schedule/push runs refresh it. Wired across
os-check (linux + macOS), pq-all, smoke-test and the 12 small make-check
workflows.
- parallel-make-check.py gains --build-only (compile every config, skip the
test phase) so weekday-morning seed crons warm the cache PR runs consume.
artifact retention capped at 7 days on the failure-log/result uploads that
previously defaulted to 90.
ONE-TIME SETUP: after their first publish, make the ghcr packages
wolfssl-ci-debs and wolfssl-sim-cache PUBLIC so anonymous pulls work from PR
(including fork) runs; until then everything falls back cleanly.
GitHub Actions now emits "Node.js 20 actions are deprecated" warnings:
actions are forced to Node.js 24 by default starting 2026-06-16, and
Node.js 20 is removed from the runners on 2026-09-16. Update every
JavaScript action referenced by the workflows and the local composite
actions to the lowest release that runs on Node.js 24:
actions/checkout v4 -> v5
actions/checkout (SHA pin) v4.1.7 -> v5
actions/upload-artifact v4 -> v6 (v5 still Node.js 20)
actions/download-artifact v4 -> v7 (v5/v6 still Node.js 20)
actions/cache[/restore|/save] v4 -> v5
actions/setup-python v5 -> v6
actions/github-script v7 -> v8
docker/setup-buildx-action v3 -> v4
docker/build-push-action v5 -> v7 (v6 still Node.js 20)
docker/login-action v3 -> v4
microsoft/setup-msbuild v2 -> v3
open-watcom/setup-watcom v0 -> v1
Actions already running on Node.js 24 (jwlawson/actions-setup-cmake,
shogo82148/actions-setup-perl, msys2/setup-msys2, dorny/paths-filter)
are left unchanged. These bumps are runtime-only; no workflow uses an
input or output removed by the new majors, and v4-format artifacts
remain compatible across the upload v6 / download v7 backends.
wolfSSL's configure enables make's jobserver by default
(AX_AM_JOBSERVER([yes]) -> AM_MAKEFLAGS += -j<nproc+1> in aminclude.am),
and automake passes that explicit -j to every recursive sub-make, where
it overrides the invoking make's job limit. The script's -j therefore
only ever scheduled the outermost recursion hop: --jobs was inert.
Measured on a 4-CPU host with 10 build-only configs oversaturating the
worker pool, the jobserver default is also the better policy: capping
sub-makes via --disable-jobserver and -j2 dropped CPU utilization from
96% to 89% and lengthened the wall time, because configs' serial
phases (configure, link) stopped being backfilled by other configs'
compile jobs. So make is now invoked with no -j at all - parallelism
within a config comes from the configure-default jobserver - and the
misleading knob is gone, including the macOS job's --jobs 3.
The two jobs that manage their ccache cache manually rely on ccache's
XDG default (~/.cache/ccache) matching the actions/cache path. That
holds today, but nothing enforces it: a later change that sets
CCACHE_DIR (e.g. adopting the ccache-setup composite, which uses
~/.ccache) would silently decouple the build's cache from the
saved/restored directory. Pin CCACHE_DIR explicitly to the cached
path so the pairing is visible and cannot drift.
Address the Copilot review:
- parallel-make-check.py: validate "configure" (list of strings) and
cflags/ldflags (strings) so a malformed entry fails the load instead
of exploding a string into per-character configure arguments; print
a single line for passing configs instead of dumping their full
make-check.log into the CI log (failure dumps unchanged; the logs
remain in build-<name>/ for the failure artifacts).
- Makefile.am: use rm -rf for the certs/input/quit setup and distclean
cleanup. A --private-dir run replaces the certs symlink with a
private directory copy that rm -f cannot remove (verified: make
distclean in a build dir with a privatized certs/ now succeeds and
removes it).
- psk.yml, disable-pk-algs.yml: normalize the single-dash tokens
(-disable-rsa, -disable-ecc, -disable-aescbc, -enable-cryptonly)
carried verbatim from the old matrices to the canonical double-dash
form. No coverage change: configure honors single-dash spellings
(verified -disable-rsa sets NO_RSA with no unrecognized-option
warning), so these were always in effect; both touched configs
re-validated end-to-end.
The --cc default stays "ccache gcc": ccache resolves the compiler
through its own masquerade symlinks (verified: no recursion and normal
cache hits with /usr/lib/ccache prepended to PATH), and the explicit
CC= also covers jobs that use ccache without the PATH masquerade.
Replace the one-runner-per-configuration matrices across the
make-check workflow family with a generic pooled runner,
.github/scripts/parallel-make-check.py. Each workflow keeps its
configuration list as JSON next to the invocation; one runner (or a
small fixed set of shards, balanced by measured per-config minutes)
builds every config in its own out-of-tree (VPATH) build directory off
a single checkout/autogen, on a pool of one-per-CPU worker threads,
longest first. Concurrent checks are isolated with bubblewrap network
namespaces, compilations are cached with ccache, the first failure
aborts the rest (fail-fast, with --no-fail-fast to run everything),
and per-config timings plus pool efficiency land in the step summary.
Failure logs upload as artifacts. smoke-test.yml is likewise reworked
into a single pooled job that runs its nine configs on one runner.
Converted workflows (runner jobs per full pass):
os-check.yml 101 -> 8 (92 Ubuntu configs -> 4 shards;
the macOS matrix, the user-settings jobs and
the standalone
macos-apple-native-cert-validation.yml fold
into one macOS runner; Windows unchanged)
pq-all.yml 21 -> 2 shards
disable-pk-algs.yml 15 -> 1
wolfCrypt-Wconversion.yml 11 -> 1
trackmemory.yml 7 -> 1
cryptocb-only.yml 8 -> 1 (incl. the two new SHA512 entries)
multi-compiler.yml 6 -> 1
smallStackSize.yml 6 -> 1
multi-arch.yml 6 -> 1
async.yml 5 -> 1
psk.yml 5 -> 1
no-malloc.yml 3 -> 1
wolfsm.yml 3 -> 1
opensslcoexist.yml 2 -> 1
Measured against current upstream passing runs (job execution time,
queue excluded): ~200 runner jobs / ~374 runner-minutes per full pass
become 23 jobs / ~168 runner-minutes, with more coverage than before.
multi-arch's old matrix combined an "include" list of four
architectures with an "opts" axis; GitHub's include-merge rules made
each arch entry overwrite the previous one, so only the armel
combinations actually ran. The pooled list restores the intended
aarch64/armhf/riscv64 coverage (23 combinations; riscv64 x sp-math is
omitted as invalid - configure rejects sp-math without SP, and
--enable-riscv-asm, unlike --enable-sp-asm, does not bring SP in).
Out-of-tree build fixes this depends on:
- Makefile.am: symlink the read-only test data (certs/, tests/ config
files, sniffer captures and helpers, examples/crypto_policies,
input, quit) into the build tree via a BUILT_SOURCES stamp, removed
again in distclean-local. ChangeToWolfRoot() and the script tests
resolve everything relative to the working directory, so out-of-tree
make check and make distcheck now pass.
- scripts/multi-msg-record.py: locate the client binary from the build
tree working directory rather than the script's source directory.
- configure.ac + wolfssl/include.am: run
support/gen-debug-trace-error-codes.sh from $srcdir; it reads the
error-code headers from the source tree and generates into the build
tree.
- tests/swdev: a WOLFBUILD variable points the sub-make at the build
tree for the configure-generated headers (wolfssl/options.h,
wolfssl/version.h); the in-tree-only guards are dropped.
Portions of PR #10649 are incorporated: the cross-platform
ccache-setup composite action, repository_owner gates on check-headers
and check-source-text, the docs-only paths-ignore on os-check, and the
libspdm timeout bumps.
authorized any responder issued by an ancestor of the target's issuer;
RFC 6960 4.2.2.2 requires direct issuance by the CA identified in the
request.
- Remove CheckOcspResponderChain() and WOLFSSL_NO_OCSP_ISSUER_CHAIN_CHECK.
- Drop now-unused vp parameter from CheckOcspResponder() and the
OcspRespCheck() helper; cascade through template and non-template
paths.
OCSP test blobs:
- Re-sign resp_server1_cert with intermediate1-ca (CA-direct path).
- Add resp_server1_cert_ancestor_responder for the negative test.
- Embed server1_cert_pem[] in test_ocsp_test_blobs.h so the new test
runs under NO_FILESYSTEM; matching entry added to
create_ocsp_test_blobs.py.
- Regenerate response[] in test_certman.c with intermediate1-ca as
signer; recipe switched from Wireshark export to openssl -respout
+ xxd -i for reproducibility.
- Fix self-XOR in test_wolfSSL_CertManagerCheckOCSPResponse so the
serial byte actually flips (^= 0xFF).
Live OCSP coverage:
- Add ocsp-responder-int1 (delegated responder issued directly by
intermediate1-ca, with id-kp-OCSPSigning EKU) for the
responder->intermediate->root chain.
- scripts/ocsp-stapling.test: intermediate1 responder switched to
ocsp-responder-int1 (delegated path).
- scripts/ocsp-stapling2.test, scripts/ocsp-stapling_tls13multi.test:
intermediate2 and intermediate3 sign their OCSP responses with
their own CA keys (CA-direct path); root block unchanged
(ocsp-responder-cert is still RFC-compliant for root-issued certs).
- .github/workflows/ocsp.yml: server1 OCSP responder switched to
ocsp-responder-int1 to match the cert chain.
- New test_ocsp_ancestor_responder_rejected confirms the
ancestor-issued response is rejected with OCSP_LOOKUP_FAIL.
Forks with Actions enabled would otherwise run the membrowse build matrix on push/workflow_dispatch and report fork builds to the membrowse backend. Guard the jobs in both workflows with github.repository_owner == 'wolfssl' (combined with the existing draft check in the report workflow), matching tls-anvil.yml and coverity-scan-fixes.yml.
Also default the analyze/onboard matrix to '[]' so strategy expansion does not error when load-targets is skipped on forks or draft PRs.
This fixes the fact that you can't compile SHAKE when SHA-3 hardware
acceleration is enabled for STM32. It also adds the STM32MP13 emulator
with hardware support from the simulators repo.
Modes (CTR, GCM, CCM, etc.) can be supported either directly or fallback
to invoking the crypto callback with a "direct" (ECB) mode.
Software implementation and AES tables are stripped under CB_ONLY_AES.
wc_swdev gains AES support so WOLF_CRYPTO_CB_ONLY_AES builds can be
tested.
crypto find cb support added to wc_AesSetKey in order to support current
CI tests that use INVALID_DEVID.
Add WOLF_CRYPTO_CB_ONLY_SHA256: when set, the SHA-256 software.
wc_Sha256FinalRaw is reduced to a stub returning NO_VALID_DEVID, and
sha256.h force-defines WOLFSSL_NO_HASH_RAW so the constant-time TLS HMAC
path falls back to its backend-opaque variant.
Incompatible with
WOLFSSL_SHA224, which aliases the SHA-256 statics; #error guard added.
Add wc_swdev support for SHA-256 for testing.
Add a software crypto-callback device (wc_swdev) that lets the wolfcrypt
test suite run under WOLF_CRYPTO_CB_ONLY_* flags without per-test devId
plumbing. The bundle is a separately-compiled second copy of wolfcrypt
(software implementations enabled, WOLF_CRYPTO_CB_ONLY_* stripped) linked
into testwolfcrypt as a single relocatable object; every symbol is demoted
to local via objcopy --keep-global-symbol except wc_SwDev_Callback, so there
is no collision with the main libwolfssl.
A find callback routes unbound operations (devId == INVALID_DEVID) to the
swdev while letting real device IDs pass through.
wc_SwDev_Init / wc_SwDev_Cleanup hooks are wired into wolfcrypt/test/test.c.
cryptocb_test's WOLF_CRYPTO_CB_FIND and WOLF_CRYPTO_CB_ONLY_RSA blocks are
gated off under WOLFSSL_SWDEV.
Enable via --enable-swdev (requires --enable-cryptocb).
