i currently return pointers to these, without copying.
they can fade because of this. make them static, since that
is what they should be anyway.

free can take a null, that's fine, but my pointer
to the pointer being freed should not be null. that
is a bug.

remove close_warn and close_no_err
make close_on_eintr a void, and abort
on error instead of returning -1.
a failed file closure is a world-ending
event. burn accordingly.

on error state, i was resetting errno
unconditionally, which would then mask
the real error.

i now use a singleton hook function per program:
nvmutil, mkhtemp and lottery
call this at the startup of your program:
(void) errhook(exit_cleanup);
then provide that function. make it static,
so that each program has its own version.
if you're writing a program that handles lots
of files for example, and you want to do certain
cleanup on exit (including error exit), this can
be quite useful.

i no longer care about openbsd 5.9. we assume unveil
is available, as has been the case for the past 12
years.
i use wrappers for unveil and pledge, which means that
i call them on every os. on OSes that don't have these,
i just return. it's somewhat inelegant, but also means
that i see errors more easily, e.g. misnamed variables
inside previous ifdef OpenBSD blocks.

yes, a common thing in C programs is one or all
of the following:
* use after frees
* double free (on non-NULL pointer)
* over-writing currently used pointer (mem leak)
i try to reduce the chance of this in my software,
by running free() through a filter function,
free_if_not_null, that returns if a function
is being freed twice - because it sets NULL
after freeing, but will only free if it's not
null already.
this patch adds two functions: smalloc and vmalloc,
for strings and voids. using these makes the program
abort if:
* non-null pointer given for initialisation
* pointer to pointer is null (of course)
* size of zero given, for malloc (zero bytes)
i myself was caught out by this change, prompting
me to make the following fix in fs_dirname_basename()
inside lib/file.c:
- char *buf;
+ char *buf = NULL;
Yes.

clamp rand to eliminate modulo sampling; high
values on the randomisation will bias the result.
not really critical for mac addresses, but there's
no reason not to have this. this patches reduces
the chance that two libreboot users will generate
the same mac addresses!

i had a bunch of hacks in here because i was
previously using very buggy rand. now it's ok.

make it more efficient. much lower rejection
rate now, about 2-5%. deal with bias, but also
get numbers in bulk. not too many.
i'd say this is about right in terms of performance
balance. 64 bytes == 8 large integers.
