Rather than buffering 16 MiB of entropy in userspace (by way of
chacha20), simply call getrandom() every time.
This approach is doubtlessly slower, for now, but trying to prematurely
optimize arc4random appears to be leading toward all sorts of nasty
properties and gotchas. Instead, this patch takes a much more
conservative approach. The interface is added as a basic loop wrapper
around getrandom(), and then later, the kernel and libc together can
work together on optimizing that.
This prevents numerous issues in which userspace is unaware of when it
really must throw away its buffer, since we avoid buffering all
together. Future improvements may include userspace learning more from
the kernel about when to do that, which might make these sorts of
chacha20-based optimizations more possible. The current heuristic of 16
MiB is meaningless garbage that doesn't correspond to anything the
kernel might know about. So for now, let's just do something
conservative that we know is correct and won't lead to cryptographic
issues for users of this function.
This patch might be considered along the lines of, "optimization is the
root of all evil," in that the much more complex implementation it
replaces moves too fast without considering security implications,
whereas the incremental approach done here is a much safer way of going
about things. Once this lands, we can take our time in optimizing this
properly using new interplay between the kernel and userspace.
getrandom(0) is used, since that's the one that ensures the bytes
returned are cryptographically secure. But on systems without it, we
fallback to using /dev/urandom. This is unfortunate because it means
opening a file descriptor, but there's not much of a choice. Secondly,
as part of the fallback, in order to get more or less the same
properties of getrandom(0), we poll on /dev/random, and if the poll
succeeds at least once, then we assume the RNG is initialized. This is a
rough approximation, as the ancient "non-blocking pool" initialized
after the "blocking pool", not before, and it may not port back to all
ancient kernels, though it does to all kernels supported by glibc
(≥3.2), so generally it's the best approximation we can do.
The motivation for including arc4random, in the first place, is to have
source-level compatibility with existing code. That means this patch
doesn't attempt to litigate the interface itself. It does, however,
choose a conservative approach for implementing it.

Commit a06b40cdf5 updated stat.h to use
__USE_XOPEN2K8 instead of __USE_MISC to add the st_atim, st_mtim and
st_ctim members to struct stat. However, for microblaze, there are two
definitions of struct stat, depending on the __USE_FILE_OFFSET64 macro.
The second one was not updated.
Change __USE_MISC to __USE_XOPEN2K8 in the __USE_FILE_OFFSET64 version
of struct stat for microblaze.
The hppa port starts libc at GLIBC_2.2, but has earlier symbol
versions in other shared objects. This means that the compat
symbol for readdir64 is not actually present in libc even though
have-GLIBC_2.1.3 is defined as yes at the make level.
Fixes commit 15e50e6c96 ("Linux:
dirent/tst-readdir64-compat can be a regular test") by mostly
reverting it.
It adds vectorized ChaCha20 implementation based on libgcrypt
cipher/chacha20-amd64-avx2.S. It is used only if AVX2 is supported
and enabled by the architecture.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
The implementation is based on scalar Chacha20 with per-thread cache.
It uses getrandom or /dev/urandom as fallback to get the initial entropy,
and reseeds the internal state on every 16MB of consumed buffer.
To improve performance and lower memory consumption the per-thread cache
is allocated lazily on first arc4random functions call, and if the
memory allocation fails getentropy or /dev/urandom is used as fallback.
The cache is also cleared on thread exit iff it was initialized (so if
arc4random is not called it is not touched).
Although it is lock-free, arc4random is still not async-signal-safe
(the per thread state is not updated atomically).
The ChaCha20 implementation is based on RFC8439 [1], omitting the final
XOR of the keystream with the plaintext because the plaintext is a
stream of zeros. This strategy is similar to what OpenBSD arc4random
does.
The arc4random_uniform is based on previous work by Florian Weimer,
where the algorithm is based on Jérémie Lumbroso paper Optimal Discrete
Uniform Generation from Coin Flips, and Applications (2013) [2], who
credits Donald E. Knuth and Andrew C. Yao, The complexity of nonuniform
random number generation (1976), for solving the general case.
The main advantage of this method is the that the unit of randomness is not
the uniform random variable (uint32_t), but a random bit. It optimizes the
internal buffer sampling by initially consuming a 32-bit random variable
and then sampling byte per byte. Depending of the upper bound requested,
it might lead to better CPU utilization.

Checking that the test can enter a new mount namespace is more correct
than just checking the return value of support_become_root() as the test
code changes the mount namespace it runs in so running it as root on a
system that does not support mount namespaces should still skip.
Also change the test to remove the unnecessary fork.

Fix [BZ #27087] by applying all long double-related asm redirections
before using functions in bits/stdio.h.
However, as these asm redirections depend on the declarations provided
by libio/bits/stdio2.h, this header was split in 2:
- libio/bits/stdio2-decl.h contains all function declarations;
- libio/bits/stdio2.h remains with the remaining contents, including
redirections.
