 1.13  13-Apr-2015  riastradh Convert sys/dev to use <sys/rndsource.h>.
 1.12  27-Oct-2012  chs branches: 1.12.14;
split device_t/softc for all remaining drivers.
replace "struct device *" with "device_t".
use device_xname(), device_unit(), etc.
 1.11  02-Feb-2012  tls branches: 1.11.6;
Entropy-pool implementation move and cleanup.

1) Move core entropy-pool code and source/sink/sample management code
to sys/kern from sys/dev.

2) Remove use of NRND as test for presence of entropy-pool code throughout
source tree.

3) Remove use of RND_ENABLED in device drivers as microoptimization to
avoid expensive operations on disabled entropy sources; make the
rnd_add calls do this directly so all callers benefit.

4) Fix bug in recent rnd_add_data()/rnd_add_uint32() changes that might
have lead to slight entropy overestimation for some sources.

5) Add new source types for environmental sensors, power sensors, VM
system events, and skew between clocks, with a sample implementation
for each.

ok releng to go in before the branch due to the difficulty of later
pullup (widespread #ifdef removal and moved files). Tested with release
builds on amd64 and evbarm and live testing on amd64.
 1.10  19-Nov-2011  tls branches: 1.10.2;
First step of random number subsystem rework described in
<20111022023242.BA26F14A158@mail.netbsd.org>. This change includes
the following:

An initial cleanup and minor reorganization of the entropy pool
code in sys/dev/rnd.c and sys/dev/rndpool.c. Several bugs are
fixed. Some effort is made to accumulate entropy more quickly at
boot time.

A generic interface, "rndsink", is added, for stream generators to
request that they be re-keyed with good quality entropy from the pool
as soon as it is available.

The arc4random()/arc4randbytes() implementation in libkern is
adjusted to use the rndsink interface for rekeying, which helps
address the problem of low-quality keys at boot time.

An implementation of the FIPS 140-2 statistical tests for random
number generator quality is provided (libkern/rngtest.c). This
is based on Greg Rose's implementation from Qualcomm.

A new random stream generator, nist_ctr_drbg, is provided. It is
based on an implementation of the NIST SP800-90 CTR_DRBG by
Henric Jungheim. This generator users AES in a modified counter
mode to generate a backtracking-resistant random stream.

An abstraction layer, "cprng", is provided for in-kernel consumers
of randomness. The arc4random/arc4randbytes API is deprecated for
in-kernel use. It is replaced by "cprng_strong". The current
cprng_fast implementation wraps the existing arc4random
implementation. The current cprng_strong implementation wraps the
new CTR_DRBG implementation. Both interfaces are rekeyed from
the entropy pool automatically at intervals justifiable from best
current cryptographic practice.

In some quick tests, cprng_fast() is about the same speed as
the old arc4randbytes(), and cprng_strong() is about 20% faster
than rnd_extract_data(). Performance is expected to improve.

The AES code in src/crypto/rijndael is no longer an optional
kernel component, as it is required by cprng_strong, which is
not an optional kernel component.

The entropy pool output is subjected to the rngtest tests at
startup time; if it fails, the system will reboot. There is
approximately a 3/10000 chance of a false positive from these
tests. Entropy pool _input_ from hardware random numbers is
subjected to the rngtest tests at attach time, as well as the
FIPS continuous-output test, to detect bad or stuck hardware
RNGs; if any are detected, they are detached, but the system
continues to run.

A problem with rndctl(8) is fixed -- datastructures with
pointers in arrays are no longer passed to userspace (this
was not a security problem, but rather a major issue for
compat32). A new kernel will require a new rndctl.

The sysctl kern.arandom() and kern.urandom() nodes are hooked
up to the new generators, but the /dev/*random pseudodevices
are not, yet.

Manual pages for the new kernel interfaces are forthcoming.

EtherWORKS III cards (LEMAC): the DE203/DE204/DE205
 1.1.2.2  23-Aug-1997  thorpej Update marc-pcmcia branch from trunk.
 1.1.2.1  31-Jul-1997  thorpej file lemacvar.h was added on branch marc-pcmcia on 1997-08-23 07:13:02 +0000
 1.3.14.1  20-Nov-2000  bouyer Update thorpej_scsipi to -current as of a month ago
A i386 GENERIC kernel compiles without the siop, ahc and bha drivers
(will be updated later). i386 IDE/ATAPI and ncr work, as well as
sparc/esp_sbus. alpha should work as well (untested yet).
siop, ahc and bha will be updated once I've updated the branch to current
-current, as well as machine-dependant code.
 1.3.6.1  11-Dec-1998  kenh The beginnings of interface detach support. Still some bugs, but mostly
works for me.

This work was originally by Bill Studenmund, and cleaned up by me.
