Simplify RANDOM_LOADABLE by removing the ability to unload a LOADABLE
random(4) implementation. This allows one-time random module selection
at boot, by loader(8). Swapping modules on the fly doesn't seem
especially useful.
This removes the need to hold a lock over the sleepable module calls
read_random and read_random_uio.
init/deinit have been pulled out of random_algorithm entirely. Algorithms
can run their own sysinits to initialize; deinit is removed entirely, as
algorithms can not be unloaded. Algorithms should initialize at
SI_SUB_RANDOM:SI_ORDER_SECOND. In LOADABLE systems, algorithms install
a pointer to their local random_algorithm context in p_random_alg_context at
that time.
Go ahead and const'ify random_algorithm objects; there is no need to mutate
them at runtime.
LOADABLE kernel NULL checks are removed from random_harvestq by ordering
random_harvestq initialization at SI_SUB_RANDOM:SI_ORDER_THIRD, after
algorithm init. Prior to random_harvestq init, hc_harvest_mask is zero and
no events are forwarded to algorithms; after random_harvestq init, the
relevant pointers will already have been installed.
Remove the bulk of random_infra shim wrappers and instead expose the bare
function pointers in sys/random.h. In LOADABLE systems, read_random(9) et
al are just thin shim macros around invoking the associated function
pointer. We do not provide a registration system but instead expect
LOADABLE modules to register themselves at SI_SUB_RANDOM:SI_ORDER_SECOND.
An example is provided in randomdev.c, as used in the random_fortuna.ko
module.

Flip the knob added in r349154 to "enabled." The commit message from that
revision and associated code comment describe the rationale, implementation,
and motivation for the new default in detail. I have dog-fooded this
configuration on my own systems for six months, for what that's worth.
For end-users: the result is just as secure. The benefit is a faster, more
responsive system when processes produce significant demand on random(4).
As mentioned in the earlier commit, the prior behavior may be restored by
setting the kern.random.fortuna.concurrent_read="0" knob in loader.conf(5).
This scales the random generation side of random(4) somewhat, although there
is still a global mutex being shared by all cores and rand_harvestq; the
situation is generally much better than it was before on small CPU systems,
but do not expect miracles on 256-core systems running 256-thread full-rate
random(4) read. Work is ongoing to address both the generation-side (in
more depth) and the harvest-side scaling problems.

Add experimental feature to increase concurrency in Fortuna. As this
diverges slightly from canonical Fortuna, and due to the security
sensitivity of random(4), it is off by default. To enable it, set the
tunable kern.random.fortuna.concurrent_read="1". The rest of this commit
message describes the behavior when enabled.
Readers continue to update shared Fortuna state under global mutex, as they
do in the status quo implementation of the algorithm, but shift the actual
PRF generation out from under the global lock. This massively reduces the
CPU time readers spend holding the global lock, allowing for increased
concurrency on SMP systems and less bullying of the harvestq kthread.
It is somewhat of a deviation from FS&K. I think the primary difference is
that the specific sequence of AES keys will differ if READ_RANDOM_UIO is
accessed concurrently (as the 2nd thread to take the mutex will no longer
receive a key derived from rekeying the first thread). However, I believe
the goals of rekeying AES are maintained: trivially, we continue to rekey
every 1MB for the statistical property; and each consumer gets a
forward-secret, independent AES key for their PRF.
Since Chacha doesn't need to rekey for sequences of any length, this change
makes no difference to the sequence of Chacha keys and PRF generated when
Chacha is used in place of AES.
On a GENERIC 4-thread VM (so, INVARIANTS/WITNESS, numbers not necessarily
representative), 3x concurrent AES performance jumped from ~55 MiB/s per
thread to ~197 MB/s per thread. Concurrent Chacha20 at 3 threads went from
roughly ~113 MB/s per thread to ~430 MB/s per thread.
Prior to this change, the system was extremely unresponsive with 3-4
concurrent random readers; each thread had high variance in latency and
throughput, depending on who got lucky and won the lock. "rand_harvestq"
thread CPU use was high (double digits), seemingly due to spinning on the
global lock.
After the change, concurrent random readers and the system in general are
much more responsive, and rand_harvestq CPU use dropped to basically zero.
Tests are added to the devrandom suite to ensure the uint128_add64 primitive
utilized by unlocked read functions to specification.

At a basic level, remove assumptions about the underlying algorithm (such as
output block size and reseeding requirements) from the algorithm-independent
logic in randomdev.c. Chacha20 does not have many of the restrictions that
AES-ICM does as a PRF (Pseudo-Random Function), because it has a cipher
block size of 512 bits. The motivation is that by generalizing the API,
Chacha is not penalized by the limitations of AES.
In READ_RANDOM_UIO, first attempt to NOWAIT allocate a large enough buffer
for the entire user request, or the maximal input we'll accept between
signal checking, whichever is smaller. The idea is that the implementation
of any randomdev algorithm is then free to divide up large requests in
whatever fashion it sees fit.
As part of this, two responsibilities from the "algorithm-generic" randomdev
code are pushed down into the Fortuna ra_read implementation (and any other
future or out-of-tree ra_read implementations):
1. If an algorithm needs to rekey every N bytes, it is responsible for
handling that in ra_read(). (I.e., Fortuna's 1MB rekey interval for AES
block generation.)
2. If an algorithm uses a block cipher that doesn't tolerate partial-block
requests (again, e.g., AES), it is also responsible for handling that in
ra_read().
Several APIs are changed from u_int buffer length to the more canonical
size_t. Several APIs are changed from taking a blockcount to a bytecount,
to permit PRFs like Chacha20 to directly generate quantities of output that
are not multiples of RANDOM_BLOCKSIZE (AES block size).
The Fortuna algorithm is changed to NOT rekey every 1MiB when in Chacha20
mode (kern.random.use_chacha20_cipher="1"). This is explicitly supported by
the math in FS&K §9.4 (Ferguson, Schneier, and Kohno; "Cryptography
Engineering"), as well as by their conclusion: "If we had a block cipher
with a 256-bit [or greater] block size, then the collisions would not
have been an issue at all."
For now, continue to break up reads into PAGE_SIZE chunks, as they were
before. So, no functional change, mostly.

(1) We may have had sufficient entropy to consider Fortuna seeded, but the
random_fortuna_seeded() function would produce a false negative if
fs_counter was still zero. This condition could arise after
random_harvestq_prime() processed the /boot/entropy file and before any
read-type operation invoked "pre_read()." Fortuna's fs_counter variable is
only incremented (if certain conditions are met) by reseeding, which is
invoked by random_fortuna_pre_read().
is_random_seeded(9) was introduced in r346282, but the function was unused
prior to r346358, which introduced this regression. The regression broke
initial seeding of arc4random(9) and broke periodic reseeding[A], until something
other than arc4random(9) invoked read_random(9) or read_random_uio(9) directly.
(Such as userspace getrandom(2) or read(2) of /dev/random. By default,
/etc/rc.d/random does this during multiuser start-up.)
(2) The conditions under which Fortuna will reseed (including initial seeding)
are: (a) sufficient "entropy" (by sheer byte count; default 64) is collected
in the zeroth pool (of 32 pools), and (b) it has been at least 100ms since
the last reseed (to prevent trivial DoS; part of FS&K design). Prior to
this revision, initial seeding might have been prevented if the reseed
function was invoked during the first 100ms of boot.
This revision addresses both of these issues. If random_fortuna_seeded()
observes a zero fs_counter, it invokes random_fortuna_pre_read() and checks
again. This addresses the problem where entropy actually was sufficient,
but nothing had attempted a read -> pre_read yet.
The second change is to disable the 100ms reseed guard when Fortuna has
never been seeded yet (fs_lasttime == 0). The guard is intended to prevent
gratuitous subsequent reseeds, not initial seeding!
Machines running CURRENT between r346358 and this revision are encouraged to
refresh when possible. Keys generated by userspace with /dev/random or
getrandom(9) during this timeframe are safe, but any long-term session keys
generated by kernel arc4random consumers are potentially suspect.
[A]: Broken in the sense that is_random_seeded(9) false negatives would cause
arc4random(9) to (re-)seed with weak entropy (SHA256(cyclecount ||
FreeBSD_version)).

read_random() is/was used, mostly without error checking, in a lot of
very sensitive places in the kernel -- including seeding the widely used
arc4random(9).
Most uses, especially arc4random(9), should block until the device is seeded
rather than proceeding with a bogus or empty seed. I did not spy any
obvious kernel consumers where blocking would be inappropriate (in the
sense that lack of entropy would be ok -- I did not investigate locking
angle thoroughly). In many instances, arc4random_buf(9) or that family
of APIs would be more appropriate anyway; that work was done in r345865.
A minor cleanup was made to the implementation of the READ_RANDOM function:
instead of using a variable-length array on the stack to temporarily store
all full random blocks sufficient to satisfy the requested 'len', only store
a single block on the stack. This has some benefit in terms of reducing
stack usage, reducing memcpy overhead and reducing devrandom output leakage
via the stack. Additionally, the stack block is now safely zeroed if it was
used.
One caveat of this change is that the kern.arandom sysctl no longer returns
zero bytes immediately if the random device is not seeded. This means that
FreeBSD-specific userspace applications which attempted to handle an
unseeded random device may be broken by this change. If such behavior is
needed, it can be replaced by the more portable getrandom(2) GRND_NONBLOCK
option.
On any typical FreeBSD system, entropy is persisted on read/write media and
used to seed the random device very early in boot, and blocking is never a
problem.
This change primarily impacts the behavior of /dev/random on embedded
systems with read-only media that do not configure "nodevice random". We
toggle the default from 'charge on blindly with no entropy' to 'block
indefinitely.' This default is safer, but may cause frustration. Embedded
system designers using FreeBSD have several options. The most obvious is to
plan to have a small writable NVRAM or NAND to persist entropy, like larger
systems. Early entropy can be fed from any loader, or by writing directly
to /dev/random during boot. Some embedded SoCs now provide a fast hardware
entropy source; this would also work for quickly seeding Fortuna. A 3rd
option would be creating an embedded-specific, more simplistic random
module, like that designed by DJB in [1] (this design still requires a small
rewritable media for forward secrecy). Finally, the least preferred option
might be "nodevice random", although I plan to remove this in a subsequent
revision.
To help developers emulate the behavior of these embedded systems on
ordinary workstations, the tunable kern.random.block_seeded_status was
added. When set to 1, it blocks the random device.
I attempted to document this change in random.4 and random.9 and ran into a
bunch of out-of-date or irrelevant or inaccurate content and ended up
rototilling those documents more than I intended to. Sorry. I think
they're in a better state now.

Chacha20 with a 256 bit key and 128 bit counter size is a good match for an
AES256-ICM replacement.
In userspace, Chacha20 is typically marginally slower than AES-ICM on
machines with AESNI intrinsics, but typically much faster than AES on
machines without special intrinsics. ChaCha20 does well on typical modern
architectures with SIMD instructions, which includes most types of machines
FreeBSD runs on.
In the kernel, we can't (or don't) make use of AESNI intrinsics for
random(4) anyway. So even on amd64, using Chacha provides a modest
performance improvement in random device throughput today.
This change makes the stream cipher used by random(4) configurable at boot
time with the 'kern.random.use_chacha20_cipher' tunable.
Very rough, non-scientific measurements at the /dev/random device, on a

Thread A: Thread B:

fs_lasttime = now_A;
... // reseed again, despite less than 100ms elapsing
}
RANDOM_RESEED_UNLOCK();
To resolve the race, simply check the current time after we win the lock
race.
If getsbinuptime is perceived to be expensive, another option might be to

This code has had an extensive rewrite and a good series of reviews, both by the author and other parties. This means a lot of code has been simplified. Pluggable structures for high-rate entropy generators are available, and it is most definitely not the case that /dev/random can be driven by only a hardware souce any more. This has been designed out of the device. Hardware sources are stirred into the CSPRNG (Yarrow, Fortuna) like any other entropy source. Pluggable modules may be written by third parties for additional sources.
The harvesting structures and consequently the locking have been simplified. Entropy harvesting is done in a more general way (the documentation for this will follow). There is some GREAT entropy to be had in the UMA allocator, but it is disabled for now as messing with that is likely to annoy many people.
The venerable (but effective) Yarrow algorithm, which is no longer supported by its authors now has an alternative, Fortuna. For now, Yarrow is retained as the default algorithm, but this may be changed using a kernel option. It is intended to make Fortuna the default algorithm for 11.0. Interested parties are encouraged to read ISBN 978-0-470-47424-2 "Cryptography Engineering" By Ferguson, Schneier and Kohno for Fortuna's gory details. Heck, read it anyway.
Many thanks to Arthur Mesh who did early grunt work, and who got caught in the crossfire rather more than he deserved to.
My thanks also to folks who helped me thresh this out on whiteboards and in the odd "Hallway track", or otherwise.
My Nomex pants are on. Let the feedback commence!
