There's an incorrect comment in compat_time.c that suggests we call
FreeLibrary() before we're done using the library's functions.
See 29642 for background.
Closes ticket 29643.
This test was previously written to use the contents of the system
headers to decide whether INHERIT_NONE or INHERIT_ZERO was going to
work. But that won't work across different environments, such as
(for example) when the kernel doesn't match the headers. Instead,
we add a testing-only feature to the code to track which of these
options actually worked, and verify that it behaved as we expected.
Closes ticket 29541; bugfix not on any released version of Tor.
This module is currently implemented to use the same technique as
libottery (later used by the bsds' arc4random replacement), using
AES-CTR-256 as its underlying stream cipher. It's backtracking-
resistant immediately after each call, and prediction-resistant
after a while.
Here's how it works:
We generate psuedorandom bytes using AES-CTR-256. We generate BUFLEN bytes
at a time. When we do this, we keep the first SEED_LEN bytes as the key
and the IV for our next invocation of AES_CTR, and yield the remaining
BUFLEN - SEED_LEN bytes to the user as they invoke the PRNG. As we yield
bytes to the user, we clear them from the buffer.
Every RESEED_AFTER times we refill the buffer, we mix in an additional
SEED_LEN bytes from our strong PRNG into the seed.
If the user ever asks for a huge number of bytes at once, we pull SEED_LEN
bytes from the PRNG and use them with our stream cipher to fill the user's
request.
Using an anonymous mmap() is a good way to get pages that we can set
kernel-level flags on, like minherit() or madvise() or mlock().
We're going to use that so that we can make uninheritable locked
pages to store PRNG data.
The code checked for sysctl being available and HW_PHYSMEM being
defined, but HW_USERMEM was actually being used with sysctl instead
of HW_PHYSMEM.
The case for OpenBSD, etc. use HW_PHYSMEM64 (which is obviously a
64-bit variant of HW_PHYSMEM) and the case for OSX uses HW_MEMSIZE
(which appears to be a 64-bit variant of HW_PHYSMEM).

We log these messages at INFO level, except when we are reading a
private key from a file, in which case we log at WARN.
This fixes a regression from when we re-wrote our PEM code to be
generic between nss and openssl.
Fixes bug 29042, bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
