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().
Thanks to GitHub user @bwelling for reporting this issue.

This allows operation inside a chroot environment without having the
random device present.
A new call, RAND_keep_random_devices_open(), has been introduced that can
be used to control file descriptor use by the random seed sources. Some
seed sources maintain open file descriptors by default, which allows
such sources to operate in a chroot(2) jail without the associated device
nodes being available.

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.

Fixes#5849
In pull request #5503 a fallback was added which adds a random nonce of
security_strength/2 bits if no nonce callback is provided. This change raised
the entropy requirements form 256 to 384 bit, which can cause problems on some
platforms (e.g. VMS, see issue #5849).
The requirements for the nonce are given in section 8.6.7 of NIST SP 800-90Ar1:
A nonce may be required in the construction of a seed during instantiation
in order to provide a security cushion to block certain attacks.
The nonce shall be either:
a) A value with at least (security_strength/2) bits of entropy, or
b) A value that is expected to repeat no more often than a
(security_strength/2)-bit random string would be expected to repeat.
Each nonce shall be unique to the cryptographic module in which instantiation
is performed, but need not be secret. When used, the nonce shall be considered
to be a critical security parameter.
This commit implements a nonce of type b) in order to lower the entropy
requirements during instantiation back to 256 bits.
The formulation "shall be unique to the cryptographic module" above implies
that the nonce needs to be unique among (with high probability) among all
DRBG instances in "space" and "time". We try to achieve this goal by creating a
nonce of the following form
nonce = app-specific-data || high-resolution-utc-timestamp || counter
Where || denotes concatenation. The application specific data can be something
like the process or group id of the application. A utc timestamp is used because
it increases monotonically, provided the system time is synchronized. This approach
may not be perfect yet for a FIPS evaluation, but it should be good enough for the
moment.
This commit also harmonizes the implementation of the get_nonce() and the
get_additional_data() callbacks and moves the platform specific parts from
rand_lib.c into rand_unix.c, rand_win.c, and rand_vms.c.

When these two functions returned zero, it could mean:
1. that an error occured. In their case, the error is an overflow of
the pool, i.e. the correct response from the caller would be to
stop trying to fill the pool.
2. that there isn't enought entropy acquired yet, i.e. the correct
response from the caller would be to try and add more entropy to
the pool.
Because of this ambiguity, the returned zero turns out to be useless.
This change makes the returned value more consistent. 1 means the
addition of new entropy was successful, 0 means it wasn't. To know if
the pool has been filled enough, the caller will have to call some
other function, such as rand_pool_entropy_available().
