12 hoursutil/nvmutil: more reliable fallback cryptoLeah Rowe
we assume the fallback will be rare, so now we make the mix static and keep xoring it, on the theory that the number of failures on urandom will be random, and tthat the fallback may only apply once or twice in thousands of calls. the time jitter is adjusted; rather than judge the difference between two points close to each other in time, we judge tthe randomness in difference of time elapsed. this mitigates fast CPUs being very fast and introducing rounding errors, and also improves performonce on much slower CPUs Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
13 hoursutil/nvmutil: use real rename() syscallLeah Rowe
i was being cute earlier, but the rewrite defeats the purpose of atomic file handling in nvmutil, by not actually renaming! it was more like, doing an actual copy, which meant that corruption is likely during power loss i've commented the code because i may use it in a library in the future.

15 hoursutil/nvmutil: loop EINTR on fsyncLeah Rowe
this improves reliability, making it more likely that data actually gets synced, since fsync can return -1 with EINTR, indicating that a re-try should be attempted. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

16 hoursutil/nvmutil: fix unveil usageLeah Rowe
arandom probably isn't available on super old obsd right?????? rather, unveil isn't. on systems that have arandom yet we should not unveil something that may not exist on modern systems just don't unveil arandom, and don't check arandom if unveil is enabled Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
16 hoursutil/nvmutil: proper /dev/fd search in fchmodLeah Rowe
some systems may not even have it works with /dev/fd (bsd/mac etc) works with linux (/proc/self/fd) and falls back on super old systems that have neither Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
16 hoursutil/nvmutil: tidy up makefile optionsLeah Rowe
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
16 hoursnope. put -Werror in the makefileLeah Rowe
not compiling without it is a bug don't let the default exclude it Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
16 hoursnvmutil makefile: define WERROR but blank itLeah Rowe
settting it to -Werror is wrong, should set it not -Werror. however, put the WERROR variable in the make command. that way, i could test with make WERROR=-Werror Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
16 hoursutil/nvmutil: portable fchmodLeah Rowe
and with that, now the code compiles on gcc with -std=c90 -pedantic with -Werror and -Wall -Wextra Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

17 hoursutil/nvmutil: don't declare libc prototypesLeah Rowe
i no longer use -Werror these can actually conflict on some weird systems, so better just remove them Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

17 hoursutil/nvmutil: more portable close()Leah Rowe
close may set errno to EINTR, which could cause weird edge case behaviour in our prw() functtion Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

17 hoursutil/nvmutil: more secure mkstempLeah Rowe
try a few more times until success explicitly return EEXIST when needed we try multiple times and check more thoroughly if a file exists, thus reducing the risk of race conditions Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

18 hoursutil/nvmutil: don't use size_t/ssize_tLeah Rowe
not portable. some old systems don't have it, or handle it very poorly unsigned long is a reasonable way to refer to indexes inside pointters Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
18 hoursutil/nvmutil: use local tmpfile on openbsdLeah Rowe
if the global file is created on a different file system than the gbe file, unveil would trigger an abort trap, since we rely on created a second temporary file, whose path we can't know ahead of time. i could get rid of unveil, or unveil a directory, but neither is acceptable. just use localtmp on openbsd. a temporary file is created next to the gbe file, in the same directory.

18 hoursutil/nvmutil: /dev/random fallbackLeah Rowe
now the custom fallback code is very unlikely to ever actually be used, on any system, except really old systems. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

36 hoursutil/nvmuttil: don't use arc4randomLeah Rowe
i have urandom again. it's enough the fallback rand implementation is used if needed now i don't have to worry about any weird version of unix from 1992 and deal with weird hacks. in fact, with this change, my code will probably compile on irix now Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
36 hoursutil/nvmutil: re-enable urandom readsLeah Rowe
i had to loosen the pledges for the new i/o framework, which needs more permissions as a result, i can now open urandom in this function statically, rather than in nvmutil's control logic and because of that, it's less buggy now arc4random is disabled on linux by default, because it's not universally available on all libc, and only since about 2022 in some glibc versions better for portability to let linux users justt use urandom the new logic is different. now it falls back to rand per-byte, but in practise it almost never will. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
37 hoursutil/nvmutil: remove arc4random on linuxLeah Rowe
linux only had it since 2022. lots of people will complain if i leave this enabled. not all libc have it either Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
