Add prng(9) as a replacement for random(9) in the kernel.
There are two major differences from random(9) and random(3):
- General prng(9) APIs (prng32(9), etc) do not guarantee an
implementation or particular sequence; they should not be used for
repeatable simulations.
- However, specific named API families are also exposed (for now: PCG),
and those are expected to be repeatable (when so-guaranteed by the named
algorithm).
Some minor differences from random(3) and earlier random(9):
- PRNG state for the general prng(9) APIs is per-CPU; this eliminates
contention on PRNG state in SMP workloads. Each PCPU generator in an
SMP system produces a unique sequence.
- Better statistical properties than the Park-Miller ("minstd") PRNG
(longer period, uniform distribution in all bits, passes
BigCrush/PractRand analysis).
- Faster than Park-Miller ("minstd") PRNG -- no division is required to
step PCG-family PRNGs.
For now, random(9) becomes a thin shim around prng32(). Eventually I
would like to mechanically switch consumers over to the explicit API.

srandom(9) is meaningless on SMP systems or any system with, say,
interrupts. One could never rely on random(9) to produce a reproducible
sequence of outputs on the basis of a specific srandom() seed because the
global state was shared by all kernel contexts. As such, removing it is
literally indistinguishable to random(9) consumers (as compared with
retaining it).
Mark random(9) as deprecated and slated for quick removal. This is not to
say we intend to remove all fast, non-cryptographic PRNG(s) in the kernel.
It/they just won't be random(9), as it exists today, in either name or
implementation.
Before random(9) is removed, a replacement will be provided and in-tree
consumers will be converted.
Note that despite the name, the random(9) interface does not bear any
resemblance to random(3). Instead, it is the same crummy 1988 Park-Miller
LCG used in libc rand(3).
Update the NetBSD Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) runtime to work in

This can be enabled by enabling KCSAN in the kernel config, or by using the
GENERIC-KCSAN amd64 kernel. It works on amd64 and arm64, however the later

As discussed in that commit message, it is a dangerous default. But the
safe default causes enough pain on a variety of platforms that for now,
restore the prior default.
Some of this is self-induced pain we should/could do better about; for
example, programmatic CI systems and VM managers should introduce entropy
from the host for individual VM instances. This is considered a future work
item.
On modern x86 and Power9 systems, this may be wholly unnecessary after
D19928 lands (even in the non-ideal case where early /boot/entropy is
unavailable), because they have fast hardware random sources available early
in boot. But D19928 is not yet landed and we have a host of architectures
which do not provide fast random sources.

read_random() is/was used, mostly without error checking, in a lot of
very sensitive places in the kernel -- including seeding the widely used
arc4random(9).
Most uses, especially arc4random(9), should block until the device is seeded
rather than proceeding with a bogus or empty seed. I did not spy any
obvious kernel consumers where blocking would be inappropriate (in the
sense that lack of entropy would be ok -- I did not investigate locking
angle thoroughly). In many instances, arc4random_buf(9) or that family
of APIs would be more appropriate anyway; that work was done in r345865.
A minor cleanup was made to the implementation of the READ_RANDOM function:
instead of using a variable-length array on the stack to temporarily store
all full random blocks sufficient to satisfy the requested 'len', only store
a single block on the stack. This has some benefit in terms of reducing
stack usage, reducing memcpy overhead and reducing devrandom output leakage
via the stack. Additionally, the stack block is now safely zeroed if it was
used.
One caveat of this change is that the kern.arandom sysctl no longer returns
zero bytes immediately if the random device is not seeded. This means that
FreeBSD-specific userspace applications which attempted to handle an
unseeded random device may be broken by this change. If such behavior is
needed, it can be replaced by the more portable getrandom(2) GRND_NONBLOCK
option.
On any typical FreeBSD system, entropy is persisted on read/write media and
used to seed the random device very early in boot, and blocking is never a
problem.
This change primarily impacts the behavior of /dev/random on embedded
systems with read-only media that do not configure "nodevice random". We
toggle the default from 'charge on blindly with no entropy' to 'block
indefinitely.' This default is safer, but may cause frustration. Embedded
system designers using FreeBSD have several options. The most obvious is to
plan to have a small writable NVRAM or NAND to persist entropy, like larger
systems. Early entropy can be fed from any loader, or by writing directly
to /dev/random during boot. Some embedded SoCs now provide a fast hardware
entropy source; this would also work for quickly seeding Fortuna. A 3rd
option would be creating an embedded-specific, more simplistic random
module, like that designed by DJB in [1] (this design still requires a small
rewritable media for forward secrecy). Finally, the least preferred option
might be "nodevice random", although I plan to remove this in a subsequent
revision.
To help developers emulate the behavior of these embedded systems on
ordinary workstations, the tunable kern.random.block_seeded_status was
added. When set to 1, it blocks the random device.
I attempted to document this change in random.4 and random.9 and ran into a
bunch of out-of-date or irrelevant or inaccurate content and ended up
rototilling those documents more than I intended to. Sorry. I think
they're in a better state now.

Some of the routines were using artificially limited builtin already,
drop the explicit limit.
The use of builtins allows quite often allows the compiler to elide the call
or most zeroing to begin with. For instance, if the target object is 32 bytes
in size and gets zeroed + has 16 bytes initialized, the compiler can just
add code to zero out the rest.
Note not all the primites have asm variants and some of the existing ones
are not optimized. Maintaines are strongly encourage to take a look
(regardless of this change).
1. Remove special-casing of 0 as it just results in an extra function call.
This is clearly pessimal.
2. Drop the inline stuff. For the most part it is much better served with
__builtin_memset (coming later).
3. Move the declaration to systm.h to match other funcs.
Archs are encouraged to implement the variant for their own platform so that
this implementation can be dropped.
kernel profiling remains broken).
memmove() was broken using ALTENTRY(). ALTENTRY() is only different from
ENTRY() in the profiling case, and its use in that case was sort of
backwards. The backwardness magically turned memmove() into memcpy()
instead of completely breaking it. Only the high resolution parts of
profiling itself were broken. Use ordinary ENTRY() for memmove().
Turn bcopy() into a tail call to memmove() to reduce complications.
This gives slightly different pessimizations and profiling lossage.
The pessimizations are minimized by not using a frame pointer() for
bcopy().
Calls to profiling functions from exception trampolines were not
relocated. This caused crashes on the first exception. Fix this using
function pointers.
Addresses of exception handlers in trampolines were not relocated. This
caused unknown offsets in the profiling data. Relocate by abusing
setidt_disp as for pmc although this is slower than necessary and
requires namespace pollution. pmc seems to be missing some relocations.
Stack traces and lots of other things in debuggers need similar relocations.
Most user addresses were misclassified as unknown kernel addresses and
then ignored. Treat all unknown addresses as user. Now only user
addresses in the kernel text range are significantly misclassified (as
known kernel addresses).
The ibrs functions didn't preserve enough registers. This is the only
recent breakage on amd64. Although these functions are written in
asm, in the profiling case they call profiling functions which are
mostly for the C ABI, so they only have to save call-used registers.
They also have to save arg and return registers in some cases and
actually save them in all cases to reduce complications. They end up
saving all registers except %ecx on i386 and %r10 and %r11 on amd64.
Saving these is only needed for 1 caller on each of amd64 and i386.
Save them there. This is slightly simpler.
Remove saving %ecx in handle_ibrs_exit on i386. Both handle_ibrs_entry
and handle_ibrs_exit use %ecx, but only the latter needed to or did
save it. But saving it there doesn't work for the profiling case.
amd64 has more automatic saving of the most common scratch registers
%rax, %rcx and %rdx (its complications for %r10 are from unusual use
of %r10 by SYSCALL). Thus profiling of handle_ibrs_exit_rs() was not
broken, and I didn't simplify the saving by moving the saving of these
registers from it to the caller.
Shortly, we'll be moving to defining bzero and memset in terms of
__builting_memset. To do that, we can't have macro calls to bzero in
the fallback impelmentation of memset. Normal calls to bzero are fine.
All 4 architectures that use this have their own copies of bzero, so
there's no mutual recursion issue between memset and bcopy.
Rather than include a copy for memmove to call bcopy to call memcpy
(which handles overlapping copies), make memmove a strong reference to
memcpy to save the two calls.

`iconv_sysctl_add` from `sys/libkern/iconv.c` incorrectly limits the

return EINVAL;
if (strlen(din.ia_to) >= ICONV_CSNMAXLEN)
return EINVAL;
if (strlen(din.ia_converter) >= ICONV_CNVNMAXLEN)
return EINVAL;
...
Since the `din` struct is directly copied from userland, there is no
guarantee that the strings supplied will be NULL terminated. The
`strlen` calls could continue reading past the designated buffer
sizes.
Declaration of `struct iconv_add_in` is found in `sys/sys/iconv.h`:
struct iconv_add_in {
int ia_version;
char ia_converter[ICONV_CNVNMAXLEN];
char ia_to[ICONV_CSNMAXLEN];
char ia_from[ICONV_CSNMAXLEN];
int ia_datalen;
const void *ia_data;
};
Our strings are followed by the `ia_datalen` member, which is checked
before the `strlen` calls:
if (din.ia_datalen > ICONV_CSMAXDATALEN)
Since `ICONV_CSMAXDATALEN` has value `0x41000` (and is `unsigned`),
this ensures that `din.ia_datalen` contains at least 1 byte of 0, so
it is not possible to trigger a read out of bounds of the `struct`
however, this code is fragile and could introduce subtle bugs in the
future if the `struct` is ever modified.

check hash to cylinder groups. If a check hash fails when a cylinder
group is read, no further allocations are attempted in that cylinder
group until it has been fixed by fsck. This avoids a class of
filesystem panics related to corrupted cylinder group maps. The
hash is done using crc32c.
Check hases are added only to UFS2 and not to UFS1 as UFS1 is primarily
used in embedded systems with small memories and low-powered processors
which need as light-weight a filesystem as possible.
Specifics of the changes:
sys/sys/buf.h:
Add BX_FSPRIV to reserve a set of eight b_xflags that may be used
by individual filesystems for their own purpose. Their specific
definitions are found in the header files for each filesystem
that uses them. Also add fields to struct buf as noted below.
sys/kern/vfs_bio.c:
It is only necessary to compute a check hash for a cylinder
group when it is actually read from disk. When calling bread,
you do not know whether the buffer was found in the cache or
read. So a new flag (GB_CKHASH) and a pointer to a function to
perform the hash has been added to breadn_flags to say that the
function should be called to calculate a hash if the data has
been read. The check hash is placed in b_ckhash and the B_CKHASH
flag is set to indicate that a read was done and a check hash
calculated. Though a rather elaborate mechanism, it should
also work for check hashing other metadata in the future. A
kernel internal API change was to change breada into a static
fucntion and add flags and a function pointer to a check-hash
function.
sys/ufs/ffs/fs.h:
Add flags for types of check hashes; stored in a new word in the
superblock. Define corresponding BX_ flags for the different types
of check hashes. Add a check hash word in the cylinder group.
sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_alloc.c:
In ffs_getcg do the dance with breadn_flags to get a check hash and
if one is provided, check it.
sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_vfsops.c:
Copy across the BX_FFSTYPES flags in background writes.
Update the check hash when writing out buffers that need them.
sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_snapshot.c:
Recompute check hash when updating snapshot cylinder groups.
sys/libkern/crc32.c:
lib/libufs/Makefile:
lib/libufs/libufs.h:
lib/libufs/cgroup.c:
Include libkern/crc32.c in libufs and use it to compute check
hashes when updating cylinder groups.
Four utilities are affected:
sbin/newfs/mkfs.c:
Add the check hashes when building the cylinder groups.
sbin/fsck_ffs/fsck.h:
sbin/fsck_ffs/fsutil.c:

sbin/fsck_ffs/pass5.c:
Offer to add check hashes to existing filesystems.
Precompute check hashes when rebuilding cylinder group
(although this will be done when it is written in fsutil.c
it is necessary to do it early before comparing with the old
cylinder group)

The instrinsics had no advantages except to sometimes avoid compiler

for me it just at the same speed or slower by doing excessive
unrollowing in all the wrong places. gcc-4.2.1 also doesn't understand
what it is doing with unrolling, but with -O3 somehow it does more
unrolling that helps.
Reduce 1 of the the compiler pessimizations (copying a variable which
already satisfies an "rm" constraint in a good way by being in memory
and not used again, to different memory and accessing it there. Force
copying it to a register instead).
Try to optimize the inner loops significantly, so as to run at full
speed on smaller inputs. The algorithm is already very MD, and was
tuned for the throughput of 3 crc32 instructions per cycle found on
at least Sandybridge through Haswell. Now it is even more tuned for
this, so depends more on the compiler not rearranging or unrolling
things too much. The main inner loop for should have no difficulty
runing at full speed on these CPUs unless the compiler unrolls it too
much. However, the main inner loop wasn't even used for buffers smaller
than 24K. Now it is used for buffers larger than 384 bytes. Now it
is not so long, and the main outer loop is used more. The new
optimization is to try to arrange that the outer loop runs in parallel
with the next inner loop except for the final iteration; then reduce
the loop sizes significantly to take advantage of this.
