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.

Rename it(4) to itesio(4) to accomodate for the following changes:
...
- The driver now uses the Super I/O address port as port argument in
the configuration file. The Environmental Controller base address is
fetched by the Super I/O EC LDN configuration registers.
- Invalidate voltage sensors if data returned is 0xff.
- Use the Super I/O Global Configuration Registers Chip ID[12] and Device
Revision to store/print the correct information.
- Use only the Fan Extended Tachometer registers on IT871[68]F for now;
this gives us correct data for IT8705/IT8712F again.

20070913:
A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
enumerate interfaces was fixed. The bug began to cause
problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
implementation was repaired. From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
could not enumerate interfaces. (These are noted because
normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
sufficient to avoid this problem.) Ensure that both kernel
and userland are from after 20070913.

20040109:
Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
superblock mismatches. To work around, you can use
fsck -b 32 to restore an alternate superblock.
