Fix issues in ia32 RDRAND asm leading to reduced entropy
This patch fixes two issues in the ia32 RDRAND assembly code that result in a
(possibly significant) loss of entropy.
The first, less significant, issue is that, by returning success as 0 from
OPENSSL_ia32_rdrand() and OPENSSL_ia32_rdseed(), a subtle bias was introduced.
Specifically, because the assembly routine copied the remaining number of
retries over the result when RDRAND/RDSEED returned 'successful but zero', a
bias towards values 1-8 (primarily 8) was introduced.
The second, more worrying issue was that, due to a mixup in registers, when a
buffer that was not size 0 or 1 mod 8 was passed to OPENSSL_ia32_rdrand_bytes
or OPENSSL_ia32_rdseed_bytes, the last (n mod 8) bytes were all the same value.
This issue impacts only the 64-bit variant of the assembly.
This change fixes both issues by first eliminating the only use of
OPENSSL_ia32_rdrand, replacing it with OPENSSL_ia32_rdrand_bytes, and fixes the
register mixup in OPENSSL_ia32_rdrand_bytes. It also adds a sanity test for
OPENSSL_ia32_rdrand_bytes and OPENSSL_ia32_rdseed_bytes to help catch problems
of this nature in the future.
