These were originally deleted as "not important" but, actually we need them
in place if we want to be able to use autoconf on software that provides
atf-based tests. (That includes being able to rebuild autotest from scratch
on the Kyua cluster machines, as the automated setup does.)
Interestingly, the pkill tool lives in bin, not usr.bin. Haven't bothered
to check if this is because the tool moved or because the tests were
originally added in the wrong place.
Note that these tests are for fmake, not bmake, and thus they are not
installed nor run when bmake is selected (the default). Yes, I have
wasted a *ton* of time on moving tests for no real reason other than
ensuring they are not left behind.
But maybe, just maybe, it was not work in vain: the majority of these
tests also work with bmake and the few that don't may point at broken
stuff. For example, the tests for the "archive" feature do not work
with bmake, but bmake's manpage and source tree seem to imply that they
should. So... to be investigated later; need to poke sjg@.
I'm starting with the easy cases. The leftovers need to be looked at a
bit more closely.
Note that this change _does_ modify the code of the old tests. This is
required in order to allow the code to locate the data files in the
source directory instead of the current directory, because Kyua
automatically changes the latter to a temporary directory.
Also note that at least one test is known to be broken here. Actually,
the test is not really broken: it's marked as a TODO but unfortunately
Kyua's TAP parser currently does not understand that. Will have to be
fixed separately.
This change was originally going to only migrate the usr.sbin tests but, as
it turns out, the usr.sbin/sa/ tests require files from usr.bin/lastcomm/
so it's better to just also migrate the latter at the same time. The other
usr.bin tests will be moved separately.
To make these tests work within the test suite, some of them have required
changes to prevent modifying the source directory and instead just rely on
the current directory for file manipulation.
AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
allows us to change the uart(4) driver to not hardcode specific line
settings for the serial console.
A terminal type of 3wire makes sure the console still works when no DCD
signal is present, which preserves behviour. When it is known that the
terminal server (or DCE in general) provides DCD, a terminal type/class
of std can be used. This has the effect of being logged out when one
disconnects from the console -- improving security overall.
Likewise, when uart(4) does not fixate the baudrate, one can change
the terminal type/class to set a specific baudrate. An operator can use
this to change the console speed mid-flight, without needing a reboot.
Of course it helps in this respect if and when the firmware can be
configured from the OS.
The above mentioned capabilities depend on uart(4) being changed, which
is to happen next.
the existing terminal types/classes that have the baudrate suffix,
but differ in that no baudrate is set/defined.
The purpose of these new types/classes is to allow them to be used
for the serial console. Currently the uart(4) driver fixates the
baudrate and the CLOCAL flag, which means that it doesn't matter
whether you give it std.<baud> or 3wire.<baud> as the terminal type
to getty and what exactly <baud> is set to. It's being overridden
by uart(4). The goal is to change uart(4) not to override these
settings.

Promoting the SIGINFO handler's log message from LOG_INFO to

To achieve these goals, this change:
- Moves tests from tools/regression/bin/<tool>/ to bin/<tool>/tests/.
- Renames the previous regress.sh files to legacy_test.sh.
- Adds Makefiles to build and install the tests and all their supporting

- Plugs the legacy_test test programs into the test suite using the new
TAP backend for Kyua (appearing in 0.8) so that the code of the test

Yarrow wants entropy estimations to be conservative; the usual idea
is that if you are certain you have N bits of entropy, you declare
N/2.

Remove short-lived idea; thread to harvest (eg) RDRAND enropy into the
usual harvest queues. It was a nifty idea, but too heavyweight.

Separate out the Software RNG entropy harvesting queue and thread
into its own files.

Snapshot; Do some running repairs on entropy harvesting. More needs
to follow.

Snapshot of current work;
1) Clean up namespace; only use "Yarrow" where it is Yarrow-specific
or close enough to the Yarrow algorithm. For the rest use a neutral
name.
2) Tidy up headers; put private stuff in private places. More could
be done here.
3) Streamline the hashing/encryption; no need for a 256-bit counter;
128 bits will last for long enough.
There are bits of debug code lying around; these will be removed
at a later stage.

1) example (partially humorous random_adaptor, that I call "EXAMPLE")
* It's not meant to be used in a real system, it's there to show how
the basics of how to create interfaces for random_adaptors. Perhaps
it should belong in a manual page
2) Move probe.c's functionality in to random_adaptors.c
* rename random_ident_hardware() to random_adaptor_choose()
3) Introduce a new way to choose (or select) random_adaptors via tunable
"rngs_want" It's a list of comma separated names of adaptors, ordered
by preferences. I.e.:
rngs_want="yarrow,rdrand"
Such setting would cause yarrow to be preferred to rdrand. If neither of
them are available (or registered), then system will default to
something reasonable (currently yarrow). If yarrow is not present, then
we fall back to the adaptor that's first on the list of registered
adaptors.
4) Introduce a way where RNGs can play a role of entropy source. This is
mostly useful for HW rngs.
The way I envision this is that every HW RNG will use this
functionality by default. Functionality to disable this is also present.
I have an example of how to use this in random_adaptor_example.c (see
modload event, and init function)
5) fix kern.random.adaptors from
kern.random.adaptors: yarrowpanicblock
to
kern.random.adaptors: yarrow,panic,block
6) add kern.random.active_adaptor to indicate currently selected
adaptor:
root@freebsd04:~ # sysctl kern.random.active_adaptor
kern.random.active_adaptor: yarrow
