Provide a generic C vDSO getrandom() implementation, which operates on
an opaque state returned by vgetrandom_alloc() and produces random bytes
the same way as getrandom(). This has a the API signature:

  ssize_t vgetrandom(void *buffer, size_t len, unsigned int flags, void *opaque_state);

The return value and the first 3 arguments are the same as ordinary
getrandom(), while the last argument is a pointer to the opaque
allocated state. Were all four arguments passed to the getrandom()
syscall, nothing different would happen, and the functions would have
the exact same behavior.

The actual vDSO RNG algorithm implemented is the same one implemented by
drivers/char/random.c, using the same fast-erasure techniques as that.
Should the in-kernel implementation change, so too will the vDSO one.

It requires an implementation of ChaCha20 that does not use any stack,
in order to maintain forward secrecy, so this is left as an
architecture-specific fill-in. Stack-less ChaCha20 is an easy algorithm
to implement on a variety of architectures, so this shouldn't be too
onerous.

Initially, the state is keyless, and so the first call makes a
getrandom() syscall to generate that key, and then uses it for
subsequent calls. By keeping track of a generation counter, it knows
when its key is invalidated and it should fetch a new one using the
syscall. Later, more than just a generation counter might be used.

Since MADV_WIPEONFORK is set on the opaque state, the key and related
state is wiped during a fork(), so secrets don't roll over into new
processes, and the same state doesn't accidentally generate the same
random stream. The generation counter, as well, is always >0, so that
the 0 counter is a useful indication of a fork() or otherwise
uninitialized state.

If the kernel RNG is not yet initialized, then the vDSO always calls the
syscall, because that behavior cannot be emulated in userspace, but
fortunately that state is short lived and only during early boot. If it
has been initialized, then there is no need to inspect the `flags`
argument, because the behavior does not change post-initialization
regardless of the `flags` value.

Since the opaque state passed to it is mutated, vDSO getrandom() is not
reentrant, when used with the same opaque state, which libc should be
mindful of.

Together with the previous commit that introduces vgetrandom_alloc(),
this functionality is intended to be integrated into libc's thread
management. As an illustrative example, the following code might be used
to do the same outside of libc. All of the static functions are to be
considered implementation private, including the vgetrandom_alloc()
syscall wrapper, which generally shouldn't be exposed outside of libc,
with the non-static vgetrandom() function at the end being the exported
interface. The various pthread-isms are expected to be elided into libc
internals. This per-thread allocation scheme is very naive and does not
shrink; other implementations may choose to be more complex.

  static void *vgetrandom_alloc(size_t *num, size_t *size_per_each, unsigned int flags)
  {
    unsigned long ret = syscall(__NR_vgetrandom_alloc, num, size_per_each, flags);
    return ret > -4096UL ? NULL : (void *)ret;
  }

  static struct {
    pthread_mutex_t lock;
    void **states;
    size_t len, cap;
  } grnd_allocator = {
    .lock = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER
  };

  static void *vgetrandom_get_state(void)
  {
    void *state = NULL;

    pthread_mutex_lock(&grnd_allocator.lock);
    if (!grnd_allocator.len) {
      size_t new_cap, size_per_each, num = 16; /* Just a hint. */
      void *new_block = vgetrandom_alloc(&num, &size_per_each, 0), *new_states;

      if (!new_block)
        goto out;
      new_cap = grnd_allocator.cap + num;
      new_states = reallocarray(grnd_allocator.states, new_cap, sizeof(*grnd_allocator.states));
      if (!new_states) {
        munmap(new_block, num * size_per_each);
        goto out;
      }
      grnd_allocator.cap = new_cap;
      grnd_allocator.states = new_states;

      for (size_t i = 0; i < num; ++i) {
        grnd_allocator.states[i] = new_block;
        new_block += size_per_each;
      }
      grnd_allocator.len = num;
    }
    state = grnd_allocator.states[--grnd_allocator.len];

  out:
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&grnd_allocator.lock);
    return state;
  }

  static void vgetrandom_put_state(void *state)
  {
    if (!state)
      return;
    pthread_mutex_lock(&grnd_allocator.lock);
    grnd_allocator.states[grnd_allocator.len++] = state;
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&grnd_allocator.lock);
  }

  static struct {
    ssize_t(*fn)(void *buf, size_t len, unsigned long flags, void *state);
    pthread_key_t key;
    pthread_once_t initialized;
  } grnd_ctx = {
    .initialized = PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT
  };

  static void vgetrandom_init(void)
  {
    if (pthread_key_create(&grnd_ctx.key, vgetrandom_put_state) != 0)
      return;
    grnd_ctx.fn = __vdsosym("LINUX_2.6", "__vdso_getrandom");
  }

  ssize_t vgetrandom(void *buf, size_t len, unsigned long flags)
  {
    void *state;

    pthread_once(&grnd_ctx.initialized, vgetrandom_init);
    if (!grnd_ctx.fn)
      return getrandom(buf, len, flags);
    state = pthread_getspecific(grnd_ctx.key);
    if (!state) {
      state = vgetrandom_get_state();
      if (pthread_setspecific(grnd_ctx.key, state) != 0) {
        vgetrandom_put_state(state);
        state = NULL;
      }
      if (!state)
        return getrandom(buf, len, flags);
    }
    return grnd_ctx.fn(buf, len, flags, state);
  }

Hm. This does leak an implementation detail of vgetrandom_alloc(),
namely that it is based on mmap() of that size rounded up to page size.
Do we want to commit to this being the proper way of disposing of a
succesful vgetrandom_alloc(), or should there also be a
vgetrandom_free(void *states, long num, long size_per_each)?

And if so, what color should the bikeshed really have. I.e.,

- does it need to take that size_per_each parameter which the kernel knows

- should it rather take the product so it can for now be a simple alias
for munmap

- should it also have a flags argument just because that's what all
well-behaving syscalls have these days...

Also, should vgetrandom_alloc() take a void *hint argument that
would/could be passed through to mmap() to give userspace some control
over where the memory is located - possibly only in the future, i.e.
insist on it being NULL for now, but it could open the possibility for
adding e.g. VGRND_MAP_FIXED[_NOREPLACE] that would translate to the
corresponding MAP_ flags.

Hi Florian,

Not sure I have any idea at all whatsoever about what you're talking
about. Firstly, the function you quoted is from the "sample userspace
code" in the commit message, so it might not be code for the context you
have in mind.

Secondly, it's just doing the thing to figure out if the return value is
an error value or a pointer. Were we in glibc, we'd write this as:

    return INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ERROR_P(r) ? NULL : (void *) r;

Right? And if you look at the expansion of that glibc macro, it's just:

  #define INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ERROR_P(val) \
    ((unsigned long int) (val) > -4096UL)

So it looks like the same exact thing?

The only difference I could see is that I assign it to a `unsigned long
ret`, while glibc code tends to assign it to a `long r`? Is that the
difference you're pointing out? Except that clearly doesn't matter
because it just gets casted to unsigned by that macro anyway?

Confused.

Jason
