i'm trying to make nvmutil work on openbsd. the new code
in lbutils is a bit buggy, likely somewhere in mkhtemp.
i'm still debugging it.

This will also be used in lbmk itself at some point,
which currently just uses regular mktemp, for tmpdir
handling during the build process.
Renamed util/nvmutil to util/libreboot-utils, which
now contains two tools. The new tool, mkhtemp, is a
hardened implementation of mktemp, which nvmutil
also uses now. Still experimental, but good enough
for nvmutil.
Mkhtemp attempts to provide TOCTOU resistance on
Linux, by using modern features in Linux such as
Openat2 (syscall) with O_EXCL and O_TMPFILE,
and many various security checks e.g.
inode/dev during creation. Checks are done constantly,
to try to detect race conditions. The code is very
strict about things like sticky bits in world writeable
directories, also ownership (it can be made to bar even
root access on files and directories it doesn't own).
It's a security-first implementation of mktemp, likely
even more secure than the OpenBSD mkstemp, but more
auditing and testing is needed - more features are
also planned, including a compatibility mode to make
it also work like traditional mktemp/mkstemp. The
intention, once this becomes stable, is that it will
become a modern drop-in replacement for mkstemp on
Linux and BSD systems.
Some legacy code has been removed, and in general
cleaned up. I wrote mkhtemp for nvmutil, as part of
its atomic write behaviour, but mktemp was the last
remaining liability, so I rewrote that too!
Docs/manpage/website will be made for mkhtemp once
the code is mature.
Other changes have also been made. This is from another
experimental branch of Libreboot, that I'm pushing
early. For example, nvmutil's state machine has been
tidied up, moving more logic back into main.
Mktemp is historically prone to race conditions,
e.g. symlink attacks, directory replacement, remounting
during operation, all sorts of things. Mkhtemp has
been written to solve, or otherwise mitigate, that
problem. Mkhtemp is currently experimental and will
require a major cleanup at some point, but it
already works well enough, and you can in fact use
it; at this time, the -d, -p and -q flags are
supported, and you can add a custom template at
the end, e.g.
mkhtemp -p test -d
Eventually, I will make this have complete parity
with the GNU and BSD implementations, so that it is
fully useable on existing setups, while optionally
providing the hardening as well.
A lot of code has also been tidied up. I didn't
track the changes I made with this one, because
it was a major re-write of nvmutil; it is now
libreboot-utils, and I will continue to write
more programs in here over time. It's basically
now a bunch of hardened wrappers around various
libc functions, e.g. there is also a secure I/O
wrapper for read/write.
There is a custom randomisation function, rlong,
which simply uses arc4random or getrandom, on
BSD and Linux respectively. Efforts are made to
make it as reliable as possible, to the extent
that it never returns with failure; in the unlikely
event that it fails, it aborts. It also sleeps
between failure, to mitigate certain DoS attacks.
You can just go in util/libreboot-utils and
type make, then you will have the nvmutil and
mkhtemp binaries, which you can just use. It
all works. Everything was massively rewritten.

enabled via ifdef. not enabled by default.

we still fall back to the old /dev/urandom read
on older linux, via runtime detection (ENOSYS).
getrandom is better, because it guarantees entropy
via blocking, and works even when /dev/urandom
is unavailable.
it has the same practical benefit as arc4random,
which i use on bsd. linux can have arc4random,
but not every linux libc has it, so it's better
to use getrandom on linux.
older linux will fall back to /dev/urandom

also generally tidied the code and made
it more robust e.g. retries

this is technically incorrect. we don't control

i had this idea in my head of later porting this
to k&r c for fun. but screw it.
compiling on everything since 1989 is enough

handle init in xstatus()
it's now a singleton design
also tidied up some other code
also removed todo.c. bloat.
will do all those anyway.
too much change. i just kept
touching the code until it
looked good
