Revisions of rng-tools
- update to 6.16: * Misc man page fixes, specifically addressing -V option misdocumentation * Improve security by allowing rngd to drop privlidges * Misc documentation improvements * Fix building with jitterentropy when configured for internal software clock usage * Fix building of power9 darn code on power systems that don't natively support DARN instruction * Fix jitterentropy long timeout failures on low power hardware * Fix various build time errors on non libc systems * Misc covscan issue fixes
- disable nistbeacon support
- update to 6.14: * Fixed a null pointer deref in nistbeacon entropy source * fixed some confguration tests * clarified some rngd behavior in the man page * update init code to do proper logging * various covscan fixes * fixed a memory leak in jitter entropy source * fixed possible NULL deref in rdrand source * various fixed in openssl mangling code * added randstat binary to build * minor modernizations to configure.ac * Support rndr instruction on arm * Support jitter software timer on coarse time systems * Merged all openssl use into a single helper library * Improved console output readability
- update to 6.11: * Some CI/CD fixes in travis pipeline * Fix detection of duplicate pulses in nist source * Fix --with-rtlsdr option in configure * Clean up some debug statements that were erroneously left in place * Fix error in systemd unit file * Fix buffer overflow in rtlsdr entropy source * Fixed darn source rekeying * Fix various pipe read issues in jitter source * Fix listing of rtlsdr options * Misc Documentation fixes * Fix a broken FIPS 140-2 corner case test * Misc cleanups * Addd aes mangling to nist source * Improve nist performance with opportunistic use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE * Add forced reseeding of kernel entropy pool
- update to 6.10: * Conversion of all entropy sources to use openssl instead of gcrypt, eliminating the need for the gcrypt library * updated nist beacon entropy source to conform to version 2 of the * Added rtlsdr radio entropy source * Fixed arm host_cpu name, fixing a build break * Fixed selection of default pkcs11 engine, based on target arch * Moved closing jitter entropy source printouts to be LOG_DEBUG * Typo fixes from codespell * Fix a build break with power darn entropy sourceaa * Improve interlock between main rngd thread, and jitterentropy threads during startup/shutdown to avoid deadlock/unneeded latency * Avoid writing to write_wakeup_threshold when no specific threshold is set (allowing for separate services to preform this task without warnings from rngd) * Enhance logging to more clearly indicate which entropy source is issuing a given log message * Daemonize earlier, thereby avoiding early thread exit, which in turn leads to additional latency on shutdown * Allow for immediate thread shutdown in jitter - By using sigsetjmp/siglongjmp, threads can exit, even when blocking in the jitter library * Fixed texrels on on rdrand_asm.S for pic compilation * allow use of libargp if libc lacks argp parsing * explicitly link against -lcrypto, fixing build in pkcs11 entropy source * replace pthread_yield with posix compliant sched_yield * bias rngd to use faster sources of entropy when available, falling back to slower sources when needed * Fix a shutdown delay resulting from a thread exit race * Fix a few minor compilation warnings * Fix make distcheck make target * Minor typo fixes/cleanups * Misc typo fixes * Fixed build break on ppc * Fixed bug in which getaffinity returns error on virt systems for jitterentropy * Fixed low watermark sizing for kernel entropy pool * Add a test mode, allowing entropy production rates to be measured * Added jitter library as an entropy source * Added short names to entropy sources (rather than just index numbers), for use in identifying sources to exclude/include/set options on

- enable aarch64 as well - Enable Power64 architecture. Starting with Power7+ we have in CPU random number generator
- Fix automagic startup with udev/systemd virtio-rng KERNEL name is hw_random not hwrng.. - in some parallel universe --fill-watermark took a percentage value, not in this incarnation at least, where it takes an integer. just use the sane builtin default (forwarded request 232122 from elvigia)
- udev does not like rules without a new line (forwarded request 212372 from elvigia)
- there is no trousers-devel requirement anymore - define _udevrulesdir only if not already defined - run %udev_rules_update, if defined. (forwarded request 208096 from elvigia)
made required changes (forwarded request 204992 from posophe)
