Huge cleanup of random(4) code.
* GENERAL - Update copyright. - Make kernel options for RANDOM_YARROW and RANDOM_DUMMY. Set neither to ON, which means we want Fortuna - If there is no 'device random' in the kernel, there will be NO random(4) device in the kernel, and the KERN_ARND sysctl will return nothing. With RANDOM_DUMMY there will be a random(4) that always blocks. - Repair kern.arandom (KERN_ARND sysctl). The old version went through arc4random(9) and was a bit weird. - Adjust arc4random stirring a bit - the existing code looks a little suspect. - Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit functions to do these tasks. - Redo read_random(9) so as to duplicate random(4)'s read internals. This makes it a first-class citizen rather than a hack. - Move stuff out of locked regions when it does not need to be there. - Trim RANDOM_DEBUG printfs. Some are excess to requirement, some behind boot verbose. - Use SYSINIT to sequence the startup. - Fix init/deinit sysctl stuff. - Make relevant sysctls also tunables. - Add different harvesting "styles" to allow for different requirements (direct, queue, fast). - Add harvesting of FFS atime events. This needs to be checked for weighing down the FS code. - Add harvesting of slab allocator events. This needs to be checked for weighing down the allocator code. - Fix the random(9) manpage. - Loadable modules are not present for now. These will be re-engineered when the dust settles. - Use macros for locks. - Fix comments. * src/share/man/... - Update the man pages. * src/etc/... - The startup/shutdown work is done in D2924. * src/UPDATING - Add UPDATING announcement. * src/sys/dev/random/build.sh - Add copyright. - Add libz for unit tests. * src/sys/dev/random/dummy.c - Remove; no longer needed. Functionality incorporated into randomdev.*. * live_entropy_sources.c live_entropy_sources.h - Remove; content moved. - move content to randomdev.[ch] and optimise. * src/sys/dev/random/random_adaptors.c src/sys/dev/random/random_adaptors.h - Remove; plugability is no longer used. Compile-time algorithm selection is the way to go. * src/sys/dev/random/random_harvestq.c src/sys/dev/random/random_harvestq.h - Add early (re)boot-time randomness caching. * src/sys/dev/random/randomdev_soft.c src/sys/dev/random/randomdev_soft.h - Remove; no longer needed. * src/sys/dev/random/uint128.h - Provide a fake uint128_t; if a real one ever arrived, we can use that instead. All that is needed here is N=0, N++, N==0, and some localised trickery is used to manufacture a 128-bit 0ULLL. * src/sys/dev/random/unit_test.c src/sys/dev/random/unit_test.h - Improve unit tests; previously the testing human needed clairvoyance; now the test will do a basic check of compressibility. Clairvoyant talent is still a good idea. - This is still a long way off a proper unit test. * src/sys/dev/random/fortuna.c src/sys/dev/random/fortuna.h - Improve messy union to just uint128_t. - Remove unneeded 'static struct fortuna_start_cache'. - Tighten up up arithmetic. - Provide a method to allow eternal junk to be introduced; harden it against blatant by compress/hashing. - Assert that locks are held correctly. - Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit functions to do these tasks. - Turn into self-sufficient module (no longer requires randomdev_soft.[ch]) * src/sys/dev/random/yarrow.c src/sys/dev/random/yarrow.h - Improve messy union to just uint128_t. - Remove unneeded 'staic struct start_cache'. - Tighten up up arithmetic. - Provide a method to allow eternal junk to be introduced; harden it against blatant by compress/hashing. - Assert that locks are held correctly. - Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit functions to do these tasks. - Turn into self-sufficient module (no longer requires randomdev_soft.[ch]) - Fix some magic numbers elsewhere used as FAST and SLOW.

This is the much-discussed major upgrade to the random(4) device, known to you all as /dev/random.
This code has had an extensive rewrite and a good series of reviews, both by the author and other parties. This means a lot of code has been simplified. Pluggable structures for high-rate entropy generators are available, and it is most definitely not the case that /dev/random can be driven by only a hardware souce any more. This has been designed out of the device. Hardware sources are stirred into the CSPRNG (Yarrow, Fortuna) like any other entropy source. Pluggable modules may be written by third parties for additional sources. The harvesting structures and consequently the locking have been simplified. Entropy harvesting is done in a more general way (the documentation for this will follow). There is some GREAT entropy to be had in the UMA allocator, but it is disabled for now as messing with that is likely to annoy many people. The venerable (but effective) Yarrow algorithm, which is no longer supported by its authors now has an alternative, Fortuna. For now, Yarrow is retained as the default algorithm, but this may be changed using a kernel option. It is intended to make Fortuna the default algorithm for 11.0. Interested parties are encouraged to read ISBN 978-0-470-47424-2 "Cryptography Engineering" By Ferguson, Schneier and Kohno for Fortuna's gory details. Heck, read it anyway. Many thanks to Arthur Mesh who did early grunt work, and who got caught in the crossfire rather more than he deserved to. My thanks also to folks who helped me thresh this out on whiteboards and in the odd "Hallway track", or otherwise. My Nomex pants are on. Let the feedback commence!
