Mark Murray	4d87a031c0	Large upgrade to the entropy device; mainly inspired by feedback ... from many folk. o The reseed process is now a kthread. With SMPng, kthreads are pre-emptive, so the annoying jerkiness of the mouse is gone. o The data structures are protected by mutexes now, not splfoo()/splx(). o The cryptographic routines are broken out into their own subroutines. this facilitates review, and possible replacement if that is ever found necessary. Thanks to: kris, green, peter, jasone, grog, jhb Forgotten to thank: You know who you are; no offense intended.	2000-09-10 13:52:19 +00:00
Mark Murray	7aa4389a6c	o Fix a horrible bug where small reads (< 8 bytes) would return the ... wrong bytes. o Improve the public interface; use void* instead of char* or u_int64_t to pass arbitrary data around. Submitted by: kris ("horrible bug")	2000-07-25 21:18:47 +00:00
Mark Murray	c90a8fc9a5	Clean this up with some BDE-inspired fixes. ... o Make the comments KNF-compliant. o Use nanotime instead of getnanotime; the manpage lies about the kern.timecounter.method - it has been removed. o Fix the ENTROPYSOURCE const permanently. o Make variable names more consistent. o Make function prototypes more consistent. Some more needs to be done; to follow.	2000-07-23 11:08:16 +00:00
Mark Murray	4d0e6f79d6	Storing to a pointer is (effectively) atomic; no need to protect this ... with splhigh(). However, the entropy-harvesting routine needs pretty serious irq-protection, as it is called out of irq handlers etc. Clues given by: bde	2000-07-11 19:37:25 +00:00
Mark Murray	c9ec235ca1	Add entropy gathering code. This will work whether the module is ... compiled in or loaded.	2000-07-07 09:03:59 +00:00
