# 256381 12-Oct-2013 markm

Merge from project branch via main. Uninteresting commits are trimmed.

Refactor of /dev/random device. Main points include:

* Userland seeding is no longer used. This auto-seeds at boot time
on PC/Desktop setups; this may need some tweeking and intelligence
from those folks setting up embedded boxes, but the work is believed
to be minimal.

* An entropy cache is written to /entropy (even during installation)
and the kernel uses this at next boot.

* An entropy file written to /boot/entropy can be loaded by loader(8)

* Hardware sources such as rdrand are fed into Yarrow, and are no
longer available raw.

Fix some just-noticed problems:

o Allow this to work with "nodevice random" by fixing where the
MALLOC pool is defined.

o Fix the explicit reseed code. This was correct as submitted, but
in the project branch doesn't need to set the "seeded" bit as this
is done correctly in the "unblock" function.

o Remove some debug ifdeffing.

o Adjust comments.

Time to eat crow for me.

I replaced the sx_* locks that Arthur used with regular mutexes;
this turned out the be the wrong thing to do as the locks need to
be sleepable. Revert this folly.

Add YARROW_RNG and FORTUNA_RNG to sys/conf/options.

Add a SYSINIT that forces a reseed during proc0 setup, which happens
fairly late in the boot process.

Add a RANDOM_DEBUG option which enables some debugging printf()s.

Add a new RANDOM_ATTACH entropy source which harvests entropy from the
get_cyclecount() delta across each call to a device attach method.

Debugging. My attempt at EVENTHANDLER(multiuser) was a failure; use
EVENTHANDLER(mountroot) instead.

This means we can't count on /var being present, so something will
need to be done about harvesting /var/db/entropy/... .

Some policy now needs to be sorted out, and a pre-sync cache needs
to be written, but apart from that we are now ready to go.

Over to review.

r256094 | markm | 2013-10-06 23:45:02 +0100 (Sun, 06 Oct 2013) | 8 lines

Snapshot.

Looking pretty good; this mostly works now. New code includes:

* Read cached entropy at startup, both from files and from loader(8)
preloaded entropy. Failures are soft, but announced. Untested.

* Use EVENTHANDLER to do above just before we go multiuser. Untested.

r256086 | markm | 2013-10-06 13:40:32 +0100 (Sun, 06 Oct 2013) | 11 lines

Debug run. This now works, except that the "live" sources haven't
been tested. With all sources turned on, this unlocks itself in
a couple of seconds! That is no my box, and there is no guarantee
that this will be the case everywhere.

* Cut debug prints.

* Use the same locks/mutexes all the way through.

* Be a tad more conservative about entropy estimates.

r256081 | markm | 2013-10-06 10:55:28 +0100 (Sun, 06 Oct 2013) | 12 lines

SNAPSHOT.

Simplify the malloc pools; We only need one for this device.

Simplify the harvest queue.

Marginally improve the entropy pool hashing, making it a bit faster
in the process.

Connect up the hardware "live" source harvesting. This is simplistic
for now, and will need to be made rate-adaptive.

All of the above passes a compile test but needs to be debugged.

r256042 | markm | 2013-10-04 07:55:06 +0100 (Fri, 04 Oct 2013) | 25 lines

Snapshot. This passes the build test, but has not yet been finished or debugged.

Contains:

* Refactor the hardware RNG CPU instruction sources to feed into
the software mixer. This is unfinished. The actual harvesting needs
to be sorted out. Modified by me (see below).

* Remove 'frac' parameter from random_harvest(). This was never
used and adds extra code for no good reason.

* Remove device write entropy harvesting. This provided a weak
attack vector, was not very good at bootstrapping the device. To
follow will be a replacement explicit reseed knob.

* Separate out all the RANDOM_PURE sources into separate harvest
entities. This adds some secuity in the case where more than one
is present.

* Review all the code and fix anything obviously messy or inconsistent.
Address som review concerns while I'm here, like rename the pseudo-rng
to 'dummy'.

Yarrow wants entropy estimations to be conservative; the usual idea

N/2.

r254927 | markm | 2013-08-26 19:29:51 +0100 (Mon, 26 Aug 2013) | 15 lines

Snapshot of current work;

1) Clean up namespace; only use "Yarrow" where it is Yarrow-specific
or close enough to the Yarrow algorithm. For the rest use a neutral
name.

2) Tidy up headers; put private stuff in private places. More could
be done here.

3) Streamline the hashing/encryption; no need for a 256-bit counter;
128 bits will last for long enough.

There are bits of debug code lying around; these will be removed
at a later stage.

r254784 | markm | 2013-08-24 14:54:56 +0100 (Sat, 24 Aug 2013) | 39 lines

1) example (partially humorous random_adaptor, that I call "EXAMPLE")
* It's not meant to be used in a real system, it's there to show how
the basics of how to create interfaces for random_adaptors. Perhaps
it should belong in a manual page

2) Move probe.c's functionality in to random_adaptors.c
* rename random_ident_hardware() to random_adaptor_choose()

3) Introduce a new way to choose (or select) random_adaptors via tunable
"rngs_want" It's a list of comma separated names of adaptors, ordered
by preferences. I.e.:
rngs_want="yarrow,rdrand"

Such setting would cause yarrow to be preferred to rdrand. If neither of
them are available (or registered), then system will default to
something reasonable (currently yarrow). If yarrow is not present, then
we fall back to the adaptor that's first on the list of registered
adaptors.

4) Introduce a way where RNGs can play a role of entropy source. This is
mostly useful for HW rngs.

The way I envision this is that every HW RNG will use this
functionality by default. Functionality to disable this is also present.
I have an example of how to use this in random_adaptor_example.c (see
modload event, and init function)

5) fix kern.random.adaptors from
kern.random.adaptors: yarrowpanicblock
to
kern.random.adaptors: yarrow,panic,block

6) add kern.random.active_adaptor to indicate currently selected
adaptor:
root@freebsd04:~ # sysctl kern.random.active_adaptor
kern.random.active_adaptor: yarrow

# 240108 04-Sep-2012 obrien

* Rather than run the same 'ps' command twice, add 'kenv' which often
gives machine unique values from the firmware.
* The kernel is more likely to be unique than /bin/ls (but no need to
stuff many megabytes into /dev/random, so hash it).
* Change ordering to give larger variance across reboots to reduce
predictability.


# 239599 22-Aug-2012 obrien

Correct style.


# 239598 22-Aug-2012 obrien

* Reinstate r128059's consumption of our best entropy first.
r128060 for "hardware-supplied entropy" reversed this without reason,
seems a typo.
* Isolate "better than nothing" implementation to a function.

# 220153 29-Mar-2011 emaste

Replace ${SYSCTL_W} with ${SYSCTL} in rc.d scripts, as they are identical.
This is a further clean up after r202988.

SYSCTL_W is still initialized in rc.subr as some ports may still use it.


# 208307 19-May-2010 dougb

This change does the following for the scripts that run up through
FILESYSTEMS (the default early_late_divider):
1. Move sysctl to run first
2. Move as many BEFOREs to REQUIREs as possible.
3. Minor effect, move hostid_save from right before mdconfig to right
after.

A lot of the early scripts make use of sysctl one way or another so
running this first makes a lot of sense given that system-critical
values are often placed in sysctl.conf.

My original purpose for working on this was that while doing some
debugging on other stuff I noticed that the order of execution was
different in the first pass through the early scripts and the second.
In practice that doesn't matter because the scripts are not executed the
second time. However this _can_ result in problems if the difference in
the rcorder moves a script from the late section to the early section in
the second pass (which would mean the script would not get executed).
So, I wanted to make the order of execution of the scripts in the early
section more deterministic.

In the course of debugging the ordering problems I noticed that moving
the BEFOREs to REQUIREs prevented the changes in order from the first
pass to the second pass without having to make any substantial changes.
(Of course it's no secret that I think BEFORE should be avoided as much
as possible, but this is a good example of why.)

# 153298 10-Dec-2005 dougb

Remove rcconf.sh from /etc/rc.d, and instead load the configuration
as part of rc. Doing this, and the sourcing of rc.subr after we have
determined if we are booting diskless (and correspondingly run
rc.initdiskless if necessary) are safe, and actually allow fewer files
to be needed on the diskless box. This also allows variables from
the configuration to be available to rc itself, such as ...

Add a variable to rc.conf, early_late_divider, which designates the
script which separates the early and late stages of the boot process.
Default this to mountcritlocal, and add text to etc/defaults/rc.conf,
rc.conf(5) and diskless(8) which describes how and why one might want
to change this.
