Document a known bug in the DES crypt cipher implementation which we're

2012-11-30T13:51:11+00:00

not going to fix in order to stay compatible with legacy password data. Nobody should use DES crypt anyway these days. See http://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-12:02.crypt.asc for details about this bug. Discussed with deraadt and beck about half a year ago (I'm pruning Ms from my tree).

arc4random_buf is the easy way to fill a buffer now. ok deraadt

remove reference to no longer existing description of nonexistent devices;

Change arc4random_uniform() to calculate ``2**32 % upper_bound'' as

2012-06-24T18:25:12+00:00

``-upper_bound % upper_bound''. Simplifies the code and makes it the same on both ILP32 and LP64 architectures, and also slightly faster on LP64 architectures by using a 32-bit remainder instead of a 64-bit remainder. Pointed out by Jorden Verwer on tech@ ok deraadt; no objections from djm or otto

Update STANDARDS section for a few functions

Update SYNOPSIS for setkey() to show it's in ok jmc@, millert@

remove comment that hasn't been true for quite a while now;

remove skipjack and cast from the libc; ok deraadt

Use MACHINE_CPU instead of MACHINE_ARCH to pick the correct machine dependent

2010-02-03T20:49:00+00:00

files or directories when applicable. The inspiration and name of MACHINE_CPU come from NetBSD, although the way to provide it to Makefiles is completely different. ok kettenis@

No point in refreshing the pid from inside arc4_stir() when that

2009-12-15T18:19:06+00:00

doesn't test it, so factor out the two places that test it into a routine and do the refreshing there. With this, arch4random_buf() doesn't trigger superfluous calls to getpid() when filling large buffers. ok deraadt@, "looks nicer indeed" otto@

s/Mhz/MHz/, MHz is a multiple of the SI unit hertz (whose symbol is Hz).
