*	Overhaul the entropy device:	markm	2003-11-17	1	-1/+4
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	o Each source gets its own queue, which is a FIFO, not a ring buffer. The FIFOs are implemented with the sys/queue.h macros. The separation is so that a low entropy/high rate source can't swamp the harvester with low-grade entropy and destroy the reseeds. o Each FIFO is limited to 256 (set as a macro, so adjustable) events queueable. Full FIFOs are ignored by the harvester. This is to prevent memory wastage, and helps to keep the kernel thread CPU usage within reasonable limits. o There is no need to break up the event harvesting into ${burst} sized chunks, so retire that feature. o Break the device away from its roots with the memory device, and allow it to get its major number automagically.
*	Massive lint-inspired cleanup.	markm	2002-03-03	1	-6/+6
\| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Remove unneeded includes. Deal with unused function arguments. Resolve a boatload of signed/unsigned imcompatabilities. Etc.
*	Fix a minor buglet/typo here that gcc3 complains about.	peter	2001-09-10	1	-1/+1

*	Very large makeover of the /dev/random driver.	markm	2001-03-10	1	-0/+83
	o Separate the kernel stuff from the Yarrow algorithm. Yarrow is now well contained in one source file and one header. o Replace the Blowfish-based crypto routines with Rijndael-based ones. (Rijndael is the new AES algorithm). The huge improvement in Rijndael's key-agility over Blowfish means that this is an extremely dramatic improvement in speed, and makes a heck of a difference in its (lack of) CPU load. o Clean up the sysctl's. At BDE's prompting, I have gone back to static sysctls. o Bug fixes. The streamlining of the crypto stuff enabled me to find and fix some bugs. DES also found a bug in the reseed routine which is fixed. o Change the way reseeds clear "used" entropy. Previously, only the source(s) that caused a reseed were cleared. Now all sources in the relevant pool(s) are cleared. o Code tidy-up. Mostly to make it (nearly) 80-column compliant.
