=head1 NAME

OSSL_SELF_TEST_new,
OSSL_SELF_TEST_free,
OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin,
OSSL_SELF_TEST_oncorrupt_byte,
OSSL_SELF_TEST_onend - functionality to trigger a callback during a self test

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/self_test.h>

 OSSL_SELF_TEST *OSSL_SELF_TEST_new(OSSL_CALLBACK *cb, void *cbarg);
 void OSSL_SELF_TEST_free(OSSL_SELF_TEST *st);

 void OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin(OSSL_SELF_TEST *st, const char *type,
                             const char *desc);
 int OSSL_SELF_TEST_oncorrupt_byte(OSSL_SELF_TEST *st, unsigned char *bytes);
 void OSSL_SELF_TEST_onend(OSSL_SELF_TEST *st, int ret);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

These methods are intended for use by provider implementers, to display
diagnostic information during self testing.

OSSL_SELF_TEST_new() allocates an opaque B<OSSL_SELF_TEST> object that has a
callback and callback argument associated with it.

The callback I<cb> may be triggered multiple times by a self test to indicate
different phases.

OSSL_SELF_TEST_free() frees the space allocated by OSSL_SELF_TEST_new().

OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin() may be inserted at the start of a block of self test
code. It can be used for diagnostic purposes.
If this method is called the callback I<cb> will receive the following
L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> object.

=over 4

=item "st-phase" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_SELF_TEST_PHASE>) <UTF8 string>

The value is the string "Start"

=back

OSSL_SELF_TEST_oncorrupt_byte() may be inserted just after the known answer is
calculated, but before the self test compares the result. The first byte in the
passed in array of I<bytes> will be corrupted if the callback returns 0,
otherwise it leaves the array unaltered. It can be used for failure testing.
The I<type> and I<desc> can be used to identify an individual self test to
target for failure testing.
If this method is called the callback I<cb> will receive the following
L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> object.

=over 4

=item "st-phase" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_SELF_TEST_PHASE>) <UTF8 string>

The value is the string "Corrupt"

=back

OSSL_SELF_TEST_onend() may be inserted at the end of a block of self test code
just before cleanup to indicate if the test passed or failed. It can be used for
diagnostic purposes.
If this method is called the callback I<cb> will receive the following
L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> object.

=over 4

=item "st-phase" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_SELF_TEST_PHASE>) <UTF8 string>

The value of the string is "Pass" if I<ret> is non zero, otherwise it has the
value "Fail".

=back

After the callback I<cb> has been called the values that were set by
OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin() for I<type> and I<desc> are set to the value "None".

If OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin(), OSSL_SELF_TEST_oncorrupt_byte() or
OSSL_SELF_TEST_onend() is called the following additional L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> are
passed to the callback.

=over 4

=item "st-type" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_SELF_TEST_TYPE>) <UTF8 string>

The value is setup by the I<type> passed to OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin().
This allows the callback to identify the type of test being run.

=item "st-desc" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_SELF_TEST_DESC>) <UTF8 string>

The value is setup by the I<type> passed to OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin().
This allows the callback to identify the sub category of the test being run.

=back

=head1 RETURN VALUES

OSSL_SELF_TEST_new() returns the allocated B<OSSL_SELF_TEST> object, or NULL if
it fails.

OSSL_SELF_TEST_oncorrupt_byte() returns 1 if corruption occurs, otherwise it
returns 0.

=head1 EXAMPLES

A single self test could be set up in the following way:

    OSSL_SELF_TEST *st = NULL;
    OSSL_CALLBACK *cb;
    void *cbarg;
    int ok = 0;
    unsigned char out[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE];
    unsigned int out_len = 0;
    EVP_MD_CTX *ctx = EVP_MD_CTX_new();
    EVP_MD *md = EVP_MD_fetch(libctx, t->algorithm, NULL);

    /*
     * Retrieve the callback - will be NULL if not set by the application via
     * OSSL_SELF_TEST_set_callback().
     */
    OSSL_SELF_TEST_get_callback(libctx, &cb, &cbarg);

    st = OSSL_SELF_TEST_new(cb, cb_arg);

    /* Trigger the optional callback */
    OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin(st, OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_KAT_DIGEST,
                           OSSL_SELF_TEST_DESC_MD_SHA2);

    if (!EVP_DigestInit_ex(ctx, md, NULL)
        || !EVP_DigestUpdate(ctx, pt, pt_len)
        || !EVP_DigestFinal(ctx, out, &out_len))
        goto err;

    /* Optional corruption - If the application callback returns 0 */
    OSSL_SELF_TEST_oncorrupt_byte(st, out);

    if (out_len != t->expected_len
        || memcmp(out, t->expected, out_len) != 0)
        goto err;
    ok = 1;
  err:
    OSSL_SELF_TEST_onend(st, ok);
    EVP_MD_free(md);
    EVP_MD_CTX_free(ctx);

Multiple self test's can be set up in a similar way by repeating the pattern of
OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin(), OSSL_SELF_TEST_oncorrupt_byte(), OSSL_SELF_TEST_onend()
for each test.
