91a483bd33 missed one constant '20' to RND_ENTROPY_THRESHOLD change 1998-05-27 01:29:13 +00:00

6036d56ba6 Move RND_ENTROPY_THRESHOLD to sys/rnd.h. Use sha1 rather than md5, and
release the first 96 bits of the hash directly rather than by folding.
The full 160 bit hash is mixed back into the entropy pool.  This keeps
64 bits secret to stir the pool with.

c327761377 Don't pretned to maintain an internal "global" entropy pool. In-kernel
locking cannot be done with it, and that sort of thing probably should not
be shared anyway.

80513cb5ae o Make usage of /dev/random dependant on
pseudo-device   rnd                     # /dev/random and in-kernel generator
  in config files.

o Add declaration to all architectures.

o Clean up copyright message in rnd.c, rnd.h, and rndpool.c to include
  that this code is derived in part from Ted Tyso's linux code.

2021c11247 Addition of /dev/random and in-kernel random value generation.
Over the next few days (thank goodness for long weekends) I'll be hunting
down device drivers and adding hooks to gather entropy from many devices,
and adding the conf.c changes to the various port's device structs to
define major numbers for /dev/random and /dev/urandom.
