* Move memory zeroing to a compiled function in a new source file. Castlloyd2012-11-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | the pointer to volatile before writing to it. At least for various versions of GCC, Clang, and ICC on x86-64, this does cause the compiler to emit a simple byte-at-a-time loop, and at least in non-LTO builds the compiler won't optimize the call away. For dealing with LTO, probably would have to do some kind of complicated side-effect.
* Properly align return values of mlock_allocator. Be more careful aboutlloyd2012-05-221-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | pointer checks as a sufficiently smart compiler might optimize way pointer comparisons otherwise. Avoid using an iterator value after we have released it from the map. Reduce the default buffer size to 1K to reduce pressure on mlock memory. Drop the old mlock wrapper code.
* Remove get_nanoseconds_clock as we'll rely on std::chrono's highlloyd2012-02-201-2/+2

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | bswap.h); too many external apps rely on loadstor.h existing. Define 64-bit generic bswap in terms of 32-bit bswap, since it's not much slower if 32-bit is also generic, and much faster if it's not. This may be quite helpful on 32-bit x86 in particular. Change formulation of generic 32-bit bswap. It may be faster or slower depending on the CPU, especially the latency and throuput of rotate instructions, but should be faster on an ideally superscalar processor with rotate instructions (ie, what I expect future CPUs to look more like).
* Make many more headers internal-only.lloyd2009-12-161-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Check in a branch with a major redesign on how entropy polling is performed.lloyd2009-01-271-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | As with HMAC_RNG, instead assume one bit of conditional entropy per byte of polled material. Since they are no longer used, drop the entropy estimation routines entirely.
