sched/semaphore:  Add nxsem_post() which is identical to sem_post() except that it never modifies the errno variable.  Changed all references to sem_post in the OS to nxsem_post().

    sched/semaphore:  Add nxsem_destroy() which is identical to sem_destroy() except that it never modifies the errno variable.  Changed all references to sem_destroy() in the OS to nxsem_destroy().

    libc/semaphore and sched/semaphore:  Add nxsem_getprotocol() and nxsem_setprotocola which are identical to sem_getprotocol() and set_setprotocol() except that they never modifies the errno variable.  Changed all references to sem_setprotocol in the OS to nxsem_setprotocol().  sem_getprotocol() was not used in the OS

dffb8a67e3 Add entropy pool and strong random number generator
Entropy pool gathers environmental noise from device drivers, user-space, etc., and returns good random numbers, suitable for cryptographic use. Based on entropy pool design from *BSDs and uses BLAKE2Xs algorithm for CSPRNG output.

Patch also adds /dev/urandom support for using entropy pool RNG and new 'getrandom' system call for getting randomness without file-descriptor usage (thus avoiding file-descriptor exhaustion attacks). The 'getrandom' interface is similar as 'getentropy' and 'getrandom' available on OpenBSD and Linux respectively.

6cefbc0c3f This change provides an option to add /dev/urandom to all architectures. The pseudo-random algorithm I choose strikes an arguably-good balance between being "random" and small/fast enough for 8/16 bit MCUs. It’s the well-documented xorshift128 algorithm. It has an internal state of 128 bits that can be [re-]seeded with a write. 2016-07-17 06:42:26 -06:00
