* Very large makeover of the /dev/random driver.Mark Murray2001-03-101-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Separate the kernel stuff from the Yarrow algorithm. Yarrow is now well contained in one source file and one header. o Replace the Blowfish-based crypto routines with Rijndael-based ones. (Rijndael is the new AES algorithm). The huge improvement in Rijndael's key-agility over Blowfish means that this is an extremely dramatic improvement in speed, and makes a heck of a difference in its (lack of) CPU load. o Clean up the sysctl's. At BDE's prompting, I have gone back to static sysctls. o Bug fixes. The streamlining of the crypto stuff enabled me to find and fix some bugs. DES also found a bug in the reseed routine which is fixed. o Change the way reseeds clear "used" entropy. Previously, only the source(s) that caused a reseed were cleared. Now all sources in the relevant pool(s) are cleared. o Code tidy-up. Mostly to make it (nearly) 80-column compliant. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=74072

* Change and clean the mutex lock interface.Bosko Milekic2001-02-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes: mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks) mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized) similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have: mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN. We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the extra `type' argument. The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind. Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two: MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers: mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN locks, respectively. Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used (i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we inline recursion for this case. Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared if WITNESS is enabled. Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the "optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently need those. Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code. Contributors: jake, jhb, jasone (in no particular order) Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=72200

* Stop explicitly using nanotime(9) and use the new get_cyclecounter(9)Mark Murray2000-11-251-16/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | call instead. This makes a pretty dramatic difference to the amount of work that the harvester needs to do - it is much friendlier on the system. (80386 and 80486 class machines will notice little, as the new get_cyclecounter() call is a wrapper round nanotime(9) for them). Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=69168

* After some complaints about the dir names, the random device isMark Murray2000-10-141-17/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | now in dirs called sys/*/random/ instead of sys/*/randomdev/*. Introduce blocking, but only at startup; the random device will block until the first reseed happens to prevent clients from using untrustworthy output. Provide a read_random() call for the rest of the kernel so that the entropy device does not need to be present. This means that things like IPX no longer need to have "device random" hardcoded into thir kernel config. The downside is that read_random() will provide very poor output until the entropy device is loaded and reseeded. It is recommended that developers do NOT use the read_random() call; instead, they should use arc4random() which internally uses read_random(). Clean up the mutex and locking code a bit; this makes it possible to unload the module again. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=67112

* Large upgrade to the entropy device; mainly inspired by feedbackMark Murray2000-09-101-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | from many folk. o The reseed process is now a kthread. With SMPng, kthreads are pre-emptive, so the annoying jerkiness of the mouse is gone. o The data structures are protected by mutexes now, not splfoo()/splx(). o The cryptographic routines are broken out into their own subroutines. this facilitates review, and possible replacement if that is ever found necessary.

* o Fix a horrible bug where small reads (< 8 bytes) would return theMark Murray2000-07-251-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | wrong bytes. o Improve the public interface; use void* instead of char* or u_int64_t to pass arbitrary data around. Submitted by: kris ("horrible bug") Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=63855
* Clean this up with some BDE-inspired fixes.Mark Murray2000-07-231-10/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Make the comments KNF-compliant. o Use nanotime instead of getnanotime; the manpage lies about the kern.timecounter.method - it has been removed. o Fix the ENTROPYSOURCE const permanently. o Make variable names more consistent. o Make function prototypes more consistent. Some more needs to be done; to follow. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=63771
