random: introduce generic vDSO getrandom() implementation
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 the following API signature: ssize_t vgetrandom(void *buffer, size_t len, unsigned int flags, void *opaque_state, size_t opaque_len); The return value and the first three arguments are the same as ordinary getrandom(), while the last two arguments are a pointer to the opaque allocated state and its size. Were all five 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 if a multi-threaded program forks (though this does not account for a similar issue with SA_SIGINFO copying registers to the stack), 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. The function works over an opaque per-thread state of a particular size, which must be marked VM_WIPEONFORK, VM_DONTDUMP, VM_NORESERVE, and VM_DROPPABLE for proper operation. Over time, the nuances of these allocations may change or grow or even differ based on architectural features. The opaque state passed to vDSO getrandom() must be allocated using the mmap_flags and mmap_prot parameters provided by the vgetrandom_opaque_params struct, which also contains the size of each state. That struct can be obtained with a call to vgetrandom(NULL, 0, 0, &params, ~0UL). Then, libc can call mmap(2) and slice up the returned array into a state per each thread, while ensuring that no single state straddles a page boundary. Libc is expected to allocate a chunk of these on first use, and then dole them out to threads as they're created, allocating more when needed. vDSO getrandom() provides the ability for userspace to generate random bytes quickly and safely, and is intended to be integrated into libc's thread management. As an illustrative example, the introduced code in the vdso_test_getrandom self test later in this series might be used to do the same outside of libc. In a libc the various pthread-isms are expected to be elided into libc internals. Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>

+/**
+ * __cvdso_getrandom_data - Generic vDSO implementation of getrandom() syscall.
+ * @rng_info: Describes state of kernel RNG, memory shared with kernel.
+ * @buffer: Destination buffer to fill with random bytes.
+ * @len: Size of @buffer in bytes.
+ * @flags: Zero or more GRND_* flags.
+ * @opaque_state: Pointer to an opaque state area.
+ * @opaque_len: Length of opaque state area.
+ *
+ * This implements a "fast key erasure" RNG using ChaCha20, in the same way that the kernel's
+ * getrandom() syscall does. It periodically reseeds its key from the kernel's RNG, at the same
+ * schedule that the kernel's RNG is reseeded. If the kernel's RNG is not ready, then this always
+ * calls into the syscall.
+ *
+ * If @buffer, @len, and @flags are 0, and @opaque_len is ~0UL, then @opaque_state is populated
+ * with a struct vgetrandom_opaque_params and the function returns 0; if it does not return 0,
+ * this function should not be used.
+ *
+ * @opaque_state *must* be allocated by calling mmap(2) using the mmap_prot and mmap_flags fields
+ * from the struct vgetrandom_opaque_params, and states must not straddle pages. Unless external
+ * locking is used, one state must be allocated per thread, as it is not safe to call this function
+ * concurrently with the same @opaque_state. However, it is safe to call this using the same
+ * @opaque_state that is shared between main code and signal handling code, within the same thread.
+ *
+ * Returns: The number of random bytes written to @buffer, or a negative value indicating an error.
