This is a first step towards the Secure Shared Memory (SSM)
infrastructure for Ouroboros, which will allow proper resource
separation for non-privileged processes.
This replaces the rdrbuff (random-deletion ring buffer) PoC allocator
with a sharded slab allocator for the packet buffer pool to avoid the
head-of-line blocking behaviour of the rdrb and reduce lock contention
in multi-process scenarios. Each size class contains multiple
independent shards, allowing parallel allocations without blocking.
- Configurable shard count per size class (default: 4, set via
SSM_POOL_SHARDS in CMake). The configured number of blocks are
spread over the number of shards. As an example:
SSM_POOL_512_BLOCKS = 768 blocks total
These 768 blocks are shared among 4 shards
(not 768 × 4 = 3072 blocks)
- Lazy block distribution: all blocks initially reside in shard 0
and naturally migrate to process-local shards upon first
allocation and subsequent free operations
- Fallback with work stealing: processes attempt allocation from
their local shard (pid % SSM_POOL_SHARDS) first, then steal
from other shards if local is exhausted, eliminating
fragmentation while maintaining low contention
- Round-robin condvar signaling: blocking allocations cycle
through all shard condition variables to ensure fairness
- Blocks freed to allocator's shard: uses allocator_pid to
determine target shard, enabling natural load balancing as
process allocation patterns stabilize over time
Maintains existing robust mutex semantics including EOWNERDEAD
handling for dead process recovery. Internal structures exposed in
ssm.h for testing purposes. Adds some tests (pool_test,
pool_sharding_test.c. etc) verifying lazy distribution, migration,
fallback stealing, and multiprocess behavior.
Updates the ring buffer (rbuff) to use relaxed/acquire/release
ordering on atomic indices. The ring buffer requires the (robust)
mutex to ensure cross-structure synchronization between pool buffer
writes and ring buffer index publication.

This adds initial support for runtime-configurable encryption and
post-quantum Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (KEMs) and authentication
(ML-DSA).
Supported key exchange algorithms:
ECDH: prime256v1, secp384r1, secp521r1, X25519, X448
Finite Field DH: ffdhe2048, ffdhe3072, ffdhe4096
ML-KEM (FIPS 203): ML-KEM-512, ML-KEM-768, ML-KEM-1024
Hybrid KEMs: X25519MLKEM768, X448MLKEM1024
Supported ciphers:
AEAD: aes-128-gcm, aes-192-gcm, aes-256-gcm, chacha20-poly1305
CTR: aes-128-ctr, aes-192-ctr, aes-256-ctr
Supported HKDFs:
sha256, sha384, sha512, sha3-256, sha3-384, sha3-512,
blake2b512, blake2s256
Supported Digests for DSA:
sha256, sha384, sha512, sha3-256, sha3-384, sha3-512,
blake2b512, blake2s256
PQC support requires OpenSSL 3.4.0+ and is detected automatically via
CMake. A DISABLE_PQC option allows building without PQC even when
available.
KEMs differ from traditional DH in that they require asymmetric roles:
one party encapsulates to the other's public key. This creates a
coordination problem during simultaneous reconnection attempts. The
kem_mode configuration parameter resolves this by pre-assigning roles:
kem_mode=server # Server encapsulates (1-RTT, full forward secrecy)
kem_mode=client # Client encapsulates (0-RTT, cached server key)
The enc.conf file format supports:
kex=<algorithm> # Key exchange algorithm
cipher=<algorithm> # Symmetric cipher
kdf=<KDF> # Key derivation function
digest=<digest> # Digest for DSA
kem_mode=<mode> # Server (default) or client
none # Disable encryption
The OAP protocol is extended to negotiate algorithms and exchange KEX
data. All KEX messages are signed using existing authentication
infrastructure for integrity and replay protection.
Tests are split into base and _pqc variants to handle conditional PQC
compilation (kex_test.c/kex_test_pqc.c, oap_test.c/oap_test_pqc.c).
Bumped minimum required OpenSSL version for encryption to 3.0
(required for HKDF API). 1.1.1 is long time EOL.
