The DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature added a select() call to wait for the
`/dev/random` device to become readable before reading from the
`/dev/urandom` device. It was introduced in commit 38023b87f0
in order to mitigate the fact that the `/dev/urandom` device
does not block until the initial seeding of the kernel CSPRNG
has completed, contrary to the behaviour of the `getrandom()`
system call.
It turned out that this change had negative side effects on
performance which were not acceptable. After some discussion it
was decided to revert this feature and leave it up to the OS
resp. the platform maintainer to ensure a proper initialization
during early boot time.

The functions RAND_add() and RAND_seed() provide a legacy API which
enables the application to seed the CSPRNG.
But NIST SP-800-90A clearly mandates that entropy *shall not* be provided
by the consuming application, neither for instantiation, nor for reseeding.
The provided random data will be mixed into the DRBG state as additional
data only, and no entropy will accounted for it.

Digest stored entropy for CRNG test.
Via the FIPS lab, NIST confirmed:
The CMVP had a chance to discuss this inquiry and we agree that
hashing the NDRNG block does meet the spirit and letter of AS09.42.
However, the CMVP did have a few questions: what hash algorithm would
be used in this application? Is it approved? Is it CAVs tested?
SHA256 is being used here and it will be both approved and CAVs tested.
This means that no raw entropy needs to be kept between RNG seedings, preventing
a potential attack vector aganst the randomness source and the DRBG chains.
It also means the block of secure memory allocated for this purpose is no longer
required.

Previously, the API version limit was indicated with a numeric version
number. This was "natural" in the pre-3.0.0 because the version was
this simple number.
With 3.0.0, the version is divided into three separate numbers, and
it's only the major number that counts, but we still need to be able
to support pre-3.0.0 version limits.
Therefore, we allow OPENSSL_API_COMPAT to be defined with a pre-3.0.0
style numeric version number or with a simple major number, i.e. can
be defined like this for any application:
-D OPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L
-D OPENSSL_API_COMPAT=3
Since the pre-3.0.0 numerical version numbers are high, it's easy to
distinguish between a simple major number and a pre-3.0.0 numerical
version number and to thereby support both forms at the same time.
Internally, we define the following macros depending on the value of
OPENSSL_API_COMPAT:
OPENSSL_API_0_9_8
OPENSSL_API_1_0_0
OPENSSL_API_1_1_0
OPENSSL_API_3
They indicate that functions marked for deprecation in the
corresponding major release shall not be built if defined.

Commit c7504aeb64 (pr #6432) fixed a regression for applications in
chroot environments, which compensated the fact that the new OpenSSL CSPRNG
(based on the NIST DRBG) now reseeds periodically, which the previous
one didn't. Now the reseeding could fail in the chroot environment if the
DEVRANDOM devices were not present anymore and no other entropy source
(e.g. getrandom()) was available.
The solution was to keep the file handles for the DEVRANDOM devices open
by default. In fact, the fix did more than this, it opened the DEVRANDOM
devices early and unconditionally in rand_pool_init(), which had the
unwanted side effect that the devices were opened (and kept open) even
in cases when they were not used at all, for example when the getrandom()
system call was available. Due to a bug (issue #7419) this even happened
when the feature was disabled by the application.
This commit removes the unconditional opening of all DEVRANDOM devices.
They will now only be opened (and kept open) on first use. In particular,
if getrandom() is available, the handles will not be opened unnecessarily.
This change does not introduce a regression for applications compiled for
libcrypto 1.1.0, because the SSLEAY RNG also seeds on first use. So in the
above constellation the CSPRNG will only be properly seeded if it is happens
before the forking and chrooting.

Commit 5b4cb385c1 (#7382) introduced a bug which had the effect
that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() failed for buffer sizes less than
32 bytes. The reason was that now the added random data was used
exlusively as entropy source for reseeding. When the random input
was too short or contained not enough entropy, the DRBG failed
without querying the available entropy sources.
This commit makes drbg_add() act smarter: it checks the entropy
requirements explicitely. If the random input fails this check,
it won't be added as entropy input, but only as additional data.
More precisely, the behaviour depends on whether an os entropy
source was configured (which is the default on most os):
- If an os entropy source is avaible then we declare the buffer
content as additional data by setting randomness to zero and
trigger a regular reseeding.
- If no os entropy source is available, a reseeding will fail
inevitably. So drbg_add() uses a trick to mix the buffer contents
into the DRBG state without forcing a reseeding: it generates a
dummy random byte, using the buffer content as additional data.

This bug was introduced by #7382 which enhanced RAND_add() to
accept large buffer sizes. As a consequence, RAND_add() now fails
for buffer sizes less than 32 bytes (i.e. less than 256 bits).
In addition, rand_drbg_get_entropy() forgets to reset the attached
drbg->pool in the case of an error, which leads to the heap corruption.
The problem occurred with RAND_load_file(), which reads the file in
chunks of 1024 bytes each. If the size of the final chunk is less than
32 bytes, then RAND_add() fails, whence RAND_load_file() fails
silently for buffer sizes n = k * 1024 + r with r = 1,...,31.
This commit fixes the heap corruption only. The other issues will
be addressed in a separate pull request.

In pull request #4328 the seeding of the DRBG via RAND_add()/RAND_seed()
was implemented by buffering the data in a random pool where it is
picked up later by the rand_drbg_get_entropy() callback. This buffer
was limited to the size of 4096 bytes.
When a larger input was added via RAND_add() or RAND_seed() to the DRBG,
the reseeding failed, but the error returned by the DRBG was ignored
by the two calling functions, which both don't return an error code.
As a consequence, the data provided by the application was effectively
ignored.
This commit fixes the problem by a more efficient implementation which
does not copy the data in memory and by raising the buffer the size limit
to INT32_MAX (2 gigabytes). This is less than the NIST limit of 2^35 bits
but it was chosen intentionally to avoid platform dependent problems
like integer sizes and/or signed/unsigned conversion.
Additionally, the DRBG is now less permissive on errors: In addition to
pushing a message to the openssl error stack, it enters the error state,
which forces a reinstantiation on next call.
Thanks go to Dr. Falko Strenzke for reporting this issue to the
openssl-security mailing list. After internal discussion the issue
has been categorized as not being security relevant, because the DRBG
reseeds automatically and is fully functional even without additional
randomness provided by the application.
