| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes for the amalgamation generator for internal headers. Remove BOTAN_DLL exporting macros from all internal-only headers; the classes/functions there don't need to be exported, and avoiding the PIC/GOT indirection can be a big win. Add missing BOTAN_DLLs where necessary, mostly gfpmath and cvc For GCC, use -fvisibility=hidden and set BOTAN_DLL to the visibility __attribute__ to export those classes/functions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | QueryPerformanceCounter, into an entropy source hres_timer. Its results, if any, do not count as contributing entropy to the poll. Convert the other (monotonic/fixed epoch) timers to a single function get_nanoseconds_clock(), living in time.h, which statically chooses the 'best' timer type (clock_gettime, gettimeofday, std::clock, in that order depending on what is available). Add feature test macros for clock_gettime and gettimeofday. Remove the Timer class and timer.h. Remove the Timer& argument to the algorithm benchmark function.

* Two changes to proc_walk:lloyd2009-07-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't read any file that is not world-readable. This avoids trouble when running as root, since on Linux various special files can cause odd interactions and/or blocking behavior when read (for instance /proc/kmsg). ssumption is that no such files are world-readable. This also avoids any issue of reading data that is potentially sensitive. Instead of reading the first 1 KB of each file, only read the first 128 bytes. This prevents large files (like /proc/config.gz or /proc/kallsyms) from swamping the input buffer; these inputs are pretty static and shouldn't count for much. Reducing to 128 bytes causes a poll to read about 400 different files, rather than ~30.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | up during the Fedora submission review, that each source file include some text about the license. One handy Perl script later and each file now has the line Distributed under the terms of the Botan license after the copyright notices. While I was in there modifying every file anyway, I also stripped out the remainder of the block comments (lots of astericks before and after the text); this is stylistic thing I picked up when I was first learning C++ but in retrospect it is not a good style as the structure makes it harder to modify comments (with the result that comments become fewer, shorter and are less likely to be updated, which are not good things).

| * In es_unix, two changeslloyd2009-01-311-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the fast poll significantly more pessimistic/realistic about how many bits of randomness we're getting from getrusage and stat. Don't cut out from execing programs if the desired poll bits is under 128. Simply poll until either the accumulator says we're done or we run out of sources. Assumption is that the poll won't be run at all unless it is ncessary (es_unix comes late in the list of sources to use since it is pretty slow).

| * Change the max amount read from /dev/*random to 128 bits.lloyd2009-01-311-9/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Also, change the wait time to bits/16 milliseconds. For instance if 64 bits of entropy are requested, the reader will wait at most 4 ms in the select loop.
| * Track the collected entropy as a double instead of a unsigned int. Otherwiselloyd2009-01-311-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | inputs might end up not contributing anything to the count even when they should. This was paricularly noticable with the proc walker - it uses an estimate of .01 bits / byte, so if the file was < 100 bytes it would not count for anything at all.

* Have Entropy_Accumulator dump everything into a BufferedComputation.lloyd2009-01-273-103/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since both Randpool and HMAC_RNG fed the input into a MAC anyway, this works nicely. (It would be nicer to use tr1::function but, argh, don't want to fully depend on TR1 quite yet. C++0x cannot come soon enough). This avoids requiring to do run length encoding, it just dumps everything as-is into the MAC. This ensures the buffer is not a potential narrow pipe for the entropy (for instance, one might imagine an entropy source which outputs one random byte every 16 bytes, and the rest some repeating pattern - using a 16 byte buffer, you would only get 8 bits of entropy total, no matter how many times you sampled).
* Check in a branch with a major redesign on how entropy polling is performed.lloyd2009-01-2720-442/+510
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Combine the fast and slow polls, into a single poll() operation. Instead of being given a buffer to write output into, the EntropySource is passed an Entropy_Accumulator. This handles the RLE encoding that xor_into_buf used to do. It also contains a cached I/O buffer so entropy sources do not individually need to allocate memory for that with each poll. When data is added to the accumulator, the source specifies an estimate of the number of bits of entropy per byte, as a double. This is tracked in the accumulator. Once the estimated entropy hits a target (set by the constructor), the accumulator's member function predicate polling_goal_achieved flips to true. This signals to the PRNG that it can stop performing polling on sources, also polls that take a long time periodically check this flag and return immediately. The Win32 and BeOS entropy sources have been updated, but blindly; testing is needed. The test_es example program has been modified: now it polls twice and outputs the XOR of the two collected results. That helps show if the output is consistent across polls (not a good thing). I have noticed on the Unix entropy source, occasionally there are many 0x00 bytes in the output, which is not optimal. This also needs to be investigated. The RLE is not actually RLE anymore. It works well for non-random inputs (ASCII text, etc), but I noticed that when /dev/random output was fed into it, the output buffer would end up being RR01RR01RR01 where RR is a random byte and 00 is the byte count. The buffer sizing also needs to be examined carefully. It might be useful to choose a prime number for the size to XOR stuff into, to help ensure an even distribution of entropy across the entire buffer space. Or: feed it all into a hash function? This change should (perhaps with further modifications) help WRT the concerns Zack W raised about the RNG on the monotone-dev list.
* In the Unix entropy source fast poll, clear the stat buf beforelloyd2009-01-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | we call stat. Apparently on 32-bit Linux (or at least on Ubuntu 8.04/x86), struct stat has some padding bytes, which are not written to by the syscall, but valgrind doesn't realize that this is OK, and warns about uninitialized memory access when we read the contents of the struct. Since this data is then fed into the PRNG, the PRNG state and output becomes tainted, which makes valgrind's output rather useless.
* Rickard Bondesson reported on botan-devel about some problems buildinglloyd2008-12-023-11/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on Solaris 10 with GCC 3.4.3. First, remove the definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1 in mmap_mem.cpp and unix_cmd.cpp, because apparently on Solaris defining this macro breaks C++ compilation entirely with GCC: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6395191 In es_egd.cpp and es_dev.cpp, include <fcntl.h> to get the declaration of open(), which is apparently where open(2) lives on Solaris - this matches the include the *BSD man pages for open(2) show, though AFAIK the BSDs all compiled fine without it (probably due to greater efforts to be source-compatible with Linux systems by *BSD developers). I have not been able to test these changes personally on Solaris but Rickard reports that with these changes everything compiles OK. Update lib version to 1.8.0-pre. ZOMG. Finally.

| | | | | | | tries to get an amount cooresponding with the size of the output buffer, specifically 128 times the output size. So, assuming we have enough working sources, each output byte will be the XOR of (at least) 128 bytes of text from the output programs. (Though RLE may reduce that somewhat)
