ENGINE. * Extra verbosity can be added with more "v"'s, eg. '-vvv' gives information about input flags and descriptions for each control command in each ENGINE. Check the output of "openssl engine -vvv" for example. * '-pre <cmd>' and '-post <cmd>' can be used to invoke control commands on the specified ENGINE (or on all of them if no engine id is specified, although that usually gets pretty ugly). '-post' commands are only attempted if '-t' is specified and the engine successfully initialises. '-pre' commands are always attempted whether or not '-t' causes an initialisation to be tried afterwards. Multiple '-pre' and/or '-post' commands can be specified and they will be called in the order they occur on the command line. Parameterised commands (the normal case, there are currently no unparameterised ones) are split into command and argument via a separating colon. Eg. "openssl engine -pre SO_PATH:/lib/libdriver.so <id>" results in the call; ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(e, "SO_PATH", "/lib/libdriver.so", 0); Application code should similarly allow arbitrary name-value string pairs to be passed into ENGINEs in a manner matching that in apps/engine.c, either using the same colon-separated format, or entered as two distinct strings. Eg. as stored in a registry. The last parameter of ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string can be changed from 0 to 1 if the command should only be attempted if it's supported by the specified ENGINE (eg. for commands like "FORK_CHECK:1" that may or may not apply to the run-time ENGINE).

This change adds some basic control commands to the existing ENGINEs (except the software 'openssl' engine). All these engines currently load shared-libraries for hardware APIs, so they've all been given "SO_PATH" commands that will configure the chosen ENGINE to load its shared library from the given path. Eg. by calling; ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(e, "SO_PATH", <path>, 0). The nCipher 'chil' ENGINE has also had "FORK_CHECK" and "THREAD_LOCKING" commands added so these settings could be handled via application-level configuration rather than in application source code. Changes to "openssl engine" to test and examine these control commands will be made shortly. It will also provide the necessary tips to application programs wanting to support these dynamic control commands.

This change adds some new functionality to the ENGINE code and API to make it possible for ENGINEs to describe and implement their own control commands that can be interrogated and used by calling applications at run-time. The source code includes numerous comments explaining how it all works and some of the finer details. But basically, an ENGINE will normally declare an array of ENGINE_CMD_DEFN entries in its ENGINE - and the various new ENGINE_CTRL_*** command types take care of iterating through this list of definitions, converting command numbers to names, command names to numbers, getting descriptions, getting input flags, etc. These administrative commands are handled directly in the base ENGINE code rather than in each ENGINE's ctrl() handler, unless they specify the ENGINE_FLAGS_MANUAL_CMD_CTRL flag (ie. if they're doing something clever or dynamic with the command definitions). There is also a new function, ENGINE_cmd_is_executable(), that will determine if an ENGINE control command is of an "executable" type that can be used in another new function, ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). If not, the control command is not supposed to be exposed out to user/config level access - eg. it could involve the exchange of binary data, returning results to calling code, etc etc. If the command is executable then ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string() can be called using a name/arg string pair. The control command's input flags will be used to determine necessary conversions before the control command is called, and commands of this form will always return zero or one (failure or success, respectively). This is set up so that arbitrary applications can support control commands in a consistent way so that tweaking particular ENGINE behaviour is specific to the ENGINE and the host environment, and independant of the application or OpenSSL. Some code demonstrating this stuff in action will applied shortly to the various ENGINE implementations, as well as "openssl engine" support for executing arbitrary control commands before and/or after initialising various ENGINEs.

The existing ENGINEs (including the default 'openssl' software engine) were static, declared inside the source file for each engine implementation. The reason this was not going boom was that all the ENGINEs had reference counts that never hit zero (once linked into the internal list, each would always have at least 1 lasting structural reference). To fix this so it will stay standing when an "unload" function is added to match ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), the "constructor" functions for each ENGINE implementation have been changed to dynamically allocate and construct their own ENGINEs using API functions. The other benefit of this is that no ENGINE implementation has to include the internal "engine_int.h" header file any more.

Previously RAND_get_rand_method was returning a non-const pointer, but it should be const. As with all other such cases, METHOD pointers are stored and returned as "const". The only methods one should be able to alter are methods "local" to the relevant code, in which case a non-const handle to the methods should already exist. This change has been forced by the constifying of the ENGINE code (before which RAND_METHOD was the only method pointer in an ENGINE structure that was not constant).

ENGINE handler functions should take the ENGINE structure as a parameter - this is because ENGINE structures can be copied, and like other structure/method setups in OpenSSL, it should be possible for init(), finish(), ctrl(), etc to adjust state inside the ENGINE structures rather than globally. This commit includes the dependant changes in the ENGINE implementations.

Previous changes permanently removed the commented-out old code for where it was possible to create and use an ENGINE statically, and this code gets rid of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED flag that supported the distinction with dynamically allocated ENGINEs. It also moves the area for ENGINE_FLAGS_*** values from engine_int.h to engine.h - because it should be possible to declare ENGINEs just from declarations in exported headers.

* Constify the get/set functions, and add some that functions were missing. * Add a new 'ENGINE_cpy()' function that will produce a new ENGINE based copied from an original (except for the references, ie. the new copy will be like an ENGINE returned from 'ENGINE_new()' - a structural reference). * Removed the "null parameter" checking in the get/set functions - it is legitimate to set NULL values as a way of *changing* an ENGINE (ie. removing a handler that previously existed). Also, passing a NULL pointer for an ENGINE is obviously wrong for these functions, so don't bother checking for it. The result is a number of error codes and strings could be removed.
