Support running CCF on Azure Linux

[maxtropets]

In this issue have to support building and testing CCF on Azure Linux.

The major obstacle so far - openssl.

On Azure Linux, we shall use OpenSSL of (major) version 3. It is to be determined in this ticket which exact version is supported by Azure Linux.

Ticket for reference: #5291

Subtasks to track the progress

• Try fix ./crypto_test (patched, see discussions in comments)
• What backend is used in Azure Linux? SymCrypt? Prove by tracking the lib we link against
• breakdown initial issues

@maxtropets current is 3.3.2, so that one :)

[maxtropets]

Currently removed the SECP256K1 curve from crypto_test, fails on EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ec_paramgen_curve_nid with err = 0.

Checked OpenSSL source, same NID for 3.1 and 3.3 impl, NID matches.

#define NID_secp256k1           714

Needs investigation.

Tried all other unit tests (crypto test patched with #6591)

 ./tests.sh -VV -L unit
...
The following tests FAILED:
	 11 - crypto_test (Failed)
	 13 - key_exchange_test (SEGFAULT)
	 18 - endorsements_test (Failed)
	 19 - historical_queries_test (SEGFAULT)
	 21 - snapshotter_test (SEGFAULT)
	 27 - channels_test (SEGFAULT)
	 28 - http_test (Failed)
	 37 - csr_test (Failed)

256k1 is not a NIST standard, which is likely why SymCrypt rejects it - it would be good to confirm and document though

What backend is used in Azure Linux? SymCrypt? Prove by tracking the lib we link against

Figured out it's not explicitly linked, but rather being loaded during runtime

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/libsymcrypt.so.103", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
read(3, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 832) = 832
newfstatat(3, "", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=778048, ...}, AT_EMPTY_PATH) = 0
mmap(NULL, 557528, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0x7f2af8423000
mmap(0x7f2af842f000, 380928, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0xc000) = 0x7f2af842f000
mmap(0x7f2af848c000, 118784, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0x69000) = 0x7f2af848c000
mmap(0x7f2af84a9000, 12288, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0x86000) = 0x7f2af84a9000

Confirmed dependency chain ccf -> librypto -> libsymcrypt (monolithic lib):

root [ /workspace/build ]# ldd /usr/lib/libsymcrypt.so.103
	statically linked

Tried all other unit tests (crypto test patched with #6591)

	 11 - crypto_test (Failed)

Split into smaller sub-issues except http_test, doesn't look openssl related, looking into it

UPD: Fixed in #6598

[maxtropets]

Got to the bottom of UVM endorsements test failure, filed a ticket (#6600)

So far, all the known issues are filed in sub-issues or solved.

Next steps

• solve all sub-issues
• rebase Enable unit tests for Azure Linux in CI #6591 on fixed main and rerun CI
• file/solve more issues if any
• extend CI with long tests
• wrap up the Enable unit tests for Azure Linux in CI #6591 itself and merge
