The CTR DRBG derives its random data from the CTR that is encrypted with
AES.
This patch now changes the CTR DRBG implementation such that the
CTR AES mode is employed. This allows the use of steamlined CTR AES
implementation such as ctr-aes-aesni.
Unfortunately there are the following subtile changes we need to apply
when using the CTR AES mode:
- the CTR mode increments the counter after the cipher operation, but
the CTR DRBG requires the increment before the cipher op. Hence, the
crypto_inc is applied to the counter (drbg->V) once it is
recalculated.
- the CTR mode wants to encrypt data, but the CTR DRBG is interested in
the encrypted counter only. The full CTR mode is the XOR of the
encrypted counter with the plaintext data. To access the encrypted
counter, the patch uses a NULL data vector as plaintext to be
"encrypted".

As required by SP800-90A, the DRBG implements are reseeding threshold.
This threshold is at 2**48 (64 bit) and 2**32 bit (32 bit) as
implemented in drbg_max_requests.
With the recently introduced changes, the DRBG is now always used as a
stdrng which is initialized very early in the boot cycle. To ensure that
sufficient entropy is present, the Jitter RNG is added to even provide
entropy at early boot time.
However, the 2nd seed source, the nonblocking pool, is usually
degraded at that time. Therefore, the DRBG is seeded with the Jitter RNG
(which I believe contains good entropy, which however is questioned by
others) and is seeded with a degradded nonblocking pool. This seed is
now used for quasi the lifetime of the system (2**48 requests is a lot).
The patch now changes the reseed threshold as follows: up until the time
the DRBG obtains a seed from a fully iniitialized nonblocking pool, the
reseeding threshold is lowered such that the DRBG is forced to reseed
itself resonably often. Once it obtains the seed from a fully
initialized nonblocking pool, the reseed threshold is set to the value
required by SP800-90A.

During initialization, the DRBG now tries to allocate a handle of the
Jitter RNG. If such a Jitter RNG is available during seeding, the DRBG
pulls the required entropy/nonce string from get_random_bytes and
concatenates it with a string of equal size from the Jitter RNG. That
combined string is now the seed for the DRBG.
Written differently, the initial seed of the DRBG is now:
get_random_bytes(entropy/nonce) || jitterentropy (entropy/nonce)
If the Jitter RNG is not available, the DRBG only seeds from
get_random_bytes.

In order to prepare for the addition of the asynchronous seeding call,
the invocation of seeding the DRBG is moved out into a helper function.
In addition, a block of memory is allocated during initialization time
that will be used as a scratchpad for obtaining entropy. That scratchpad
is used for the initial seeding operation as well as by the
asynchronous seeding call. The memory must be zeroized every time the
DRBG seeding call succeeds to avoid entropy data lingering in memory.

Initialising the RNG in drbg_kcapi_init is a waste of precious
entropy because all users will immediately seed the RNG after
the allocation.
In fact, all users should seed the RNG before using it. So there
is no point in doing the seeding in drbg_kcapi_init.
This patch removes the initial seeding and the user must seed
the RNG explicitly (as they all currently do).
This patch also changes drbg_kcapi_reset to allow reseeding.
That is, if you call it after a successful initial seeding, then
it will not reset the internal state of the DRBG before mixing
the new input and entropy.
If you still wish to reset the internal state, you can always
free the DRBG and allocate a new one.
Finally this patch removes locking from drbg_uninstantiate because
it's now only called from the destruction path which must not be
executed in parallel with normal operations.

The creation of a shadow copy is intended to only hold a short term
lock. But the drawback is that parallel users have a very similar DRBG
state which only differs by a high-resolution time stamp.
The DRBG will now hold a long term lock. Therefore, the lock is changed
to a mutex which implies that the DRBG can only be used in process
context.
The lock now guards the instantiation as well as the entire DRBG
generation operation. Therefore, multiple callers are fully serialized
when generating a random number.
As the locking is changed to use a long-term lock to avoid such similar
DRBG states, the entire creation and maintenance of a shadow copy can be
removed.

The DRBG requires the conversion of an integer into a string
representation of that integer. The previous implementation converted
the given integer byte-wise. However, the kernel offers the cpu_to_be
function which already re-arranges the memory representation of an
integer such that it applies when interpreting the same memory as
character string.
The change therefore uses an integer-cast / union of the target
character array together with the cpu_to_be function to convert an
integer into its string representation.
Tests show that the Hash and CTR DRBG implementations (the HMAC DRBG
does not require such conversion) is about 10% faster (or requires less

The current locking approach of the DRBG tries to keep the protected
code paths very minimal. It is therefore possible that two threads query
one DRBG instance at the same time. When thread A requests random
numbers, a shadow copy of the DRBG state is created upon which the
request for A is processed. After finishing the state for A's request is
merged back into the DRBG state. If now thread B requests random numbers
from the same DRBG after the request for thread A is received, but
before A's shadow state is merged back, the random numbers for B will be
identical to the ones for A. Please note that the time window is very
small for this scenario.
To prevent that there is even a theoretical chance for thread A and B
having the same DRBG state, the current time stamp is provided as
additional information string for each new request.
The addition of the time stamp as additional information string implies
that now all generate functions must be capable to process a linked
list with additional information strings instead of a scalar.
