abf58ed319 rand_unix.c: open random devices on first use only
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.

Fixes #7419

d597a9a877 RAND_add()/RAND_seed(): fix failure on short input or low entropy
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.

35a34508ef Backport some DRBG renamings and typo fixes
In commit 8bf3665196 some renamings andd typo fixes were made
while adding back the DRBG-HMAC and DRBG-HASH implementation.
Since the commit could not be backported, a lot of unnecessary
differences between master and 1.1.1 were introduced.

These differences result in tiresome merge conflicts when
cherry-picking. To minimize these merge-conflicts, this patch
ports all 'non-feature' changes of commit 8bf3665196
(e.g., renamings of private variables, fixes of typographical
errors, comment changes) manually back to 1.1.1.

The commits a83dc59afa (#7399) and 8817215d5c (#7456)
failed to cherry-pick previously to 1.1.1, with this patch
they both cherry-pick without conflicts.

ece482ff3a RAND_add(): fix heap corruption in error path
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.

Thanks to Gisle Vanem for reporting this issue.

dbf0a49625 DRBG: fix reseeding via RAND_add()/RAND_seed() with large input
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.

bc420ebea2 rand_lib.c: Don't open random devices while cleaning up.
Fixes #7022

In pull request #6432 a change was made to keep the handles to the
random devices opened in order to avoid reseeding problems for
applications in chroot environments.

As a consequence, the handles of the random devices were leaked at exit
if the random generator was not used by the application. This happened,
because the call to RAND_set_rand_method(NULL) in rand_cleanup_int()
triggered a call to the call_once function do_rand_init, which opened
the random devices via rand_pool_init().

6ebb49f3f9 Change rand_pool_bytes_needed to handle less entropy than 1 per 8 bits
rand_pool_bytes_needed() was constructed in such a way that the
smallest acceptable entropy factor was 1 entropy bits per 8 bits of
data.  At the same time, we have a DRBG_MINMAX_FACTOR that allows
weaker source, as small as 1 bit of entropy per 128 bits of data.
The conclusion is that rand_pool_bytes_needed() needs to change to
support weaker entropy sources.  We therefore change the input of
entropy per byte to be an entropy factor instead.  This entropy factor
expresses how many bits of data it takes (on average) to get 1 bit of
entropy.
