-.Sh NAME
-.Nm arc4random ,
-.Nm arc4random_stir ,
-.Nm arc4random_addrandom
-.Nd arc4 random number generator
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Fd #include <stdlib.h>
-.Ft uint32_t
-.Fn arc4random "void"
-.Ft void
-.Fn arc4random_stir "void"
-.Ft void
-.Fn arc4random_addrandom "u_char *dat" "int datlen"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn arc4random
-function provides a high quality 32-bit pseudo-random
-number very quickly.
-.Fn arc4random
-seeds itself on a regular basis from the kernel strong random number
-subsystem described in
-.Xr random 4 .
-On each call, an ARC4 generator is used to generate a new result.
-The
-.Fn arc4random
-function uses the ARC4 cipher key stream generator,
-which uses 8*8 8-bit S-Boxes.
-The S-Boxes can be in about (2**1700) states.
-.Pp
-.Fn arc4random
-fits into a middle ground not covered by other subsystems such as
-the strong, slow, and resource expensive random
-devices described in
-.Xr random 4
-versus the fast but poor quality interfaces described in
-.Xr rand 3 ,
-.Xr random 3 ,
-and
-.Xr drand48 3 .
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn arc4random_stir
-function reads data from a pseudo-random device, usually
-.Pa /dev/urandom,
-and uses it to permute the S-Boxes via
-.Fn arc4random_addrandom .
-.Pp
-There is no need to call
-.Fn arc4random_stir
-before using
-.Fn arc4random ,
-since
-.Fn arc4random
-automatically initializes itself.
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr rand 3 ,
-.Xr rand48 3 ,
-.Xr random 3
-.Sh HISTORY
-An algorithm called
-.Pa RC4
-was designed by RSA Data Security, Inc.
-It was considered a trade secret.
-Because it was a trade secret, it obviously could not be patented.
-A clone of this was posted anonymously to USENET and confirmed to
-be equivalent by several sources who had access to the original cipher.
-Because of the trade secret situation, RSA Data Security, Inc. can do
-nothing about the release of the ARC4 algorithm.
-Since
-.Pa RC4
-used to be a trade secret, the cipher is now referred to as
-.Pa ARC4 .
-.Pp
-These functions first appeared in
-.Ox 2.1 .

-	unsigned      sa_flags;
-};
-struct kernel_sigaction {

-
-HAVE_SA_RESTORER #defined
-struct old_kernel_sigaction {
-	sighandler_t  k_sa_handler;
-	unsigned long sa_mask;
-	unsigned long sa_flags;
-	void          (*sa_restorer)(void);

-struct kernel_sigaction {
-	sighandler_t  k_sa_handler;
-	unsigned long sa_flags;
-	void          (*sa_restorer)(void);
-	sigset_t      sa_mask;
-};
-
-On userspace side, Sparc has special struct sigaction:
-
-struct sigaction {
-	sighandler_t  sa_handler;
-	sigset_t      sa_mask;
-	unsigned long sa_flags;
-	void          (*sa_restorer)(void); /* Not used by Linux/Sparc */
-};
-
-And finally the rest has:
-
-struct sigaction {
-	sighandler_t  sa_handler;
-	sigset_t      sa_mask;
-	int           sa_flags;
-	void          (*sa_restorer)(void);
-};
-
-Userspace sigset_t was uniformly defined as vector of longs
-big enough to hold 1024 (!) bits - carried over from glibc.
-Since the only arch whose struct kernel_sigaction contains sa_mask
-not as a last member is MIPS, MIPS has special kernel_sigset_t,
-which is an array of longs long enough for 128 bits.
-Other arches still used userspace sigset_t in struct kernel_sigaction,
-but it did not really matter because overlong kernel_sigaction
-does not hurt in sigaction() [explained below].
-On kernel side, all arches define _NSIG to 65 (meaning
-there are 64 signals, 1..64) except MIPS, which define it to 129.
-
-
-	Functions
-
-sigaction() [libc function] usually has two kernel_sigaction's
-on stack and copy (userspace) struct sigaction members into
-first one, executes syscall, then pulls out the result from
-second one. This accomodates differences in layouts of structs.
-
-The only typically present quirk is what to do with sa_restorer.
-
-    libc/sysdeps/linux/arm/sigaction.c
-
-if HAVE_SA_RESTORER and (sa_flags & SA_RESTORER) is not set,
-sets sa_restorer to
-(flags & SA_SIGINFO) ? __default_rt_sa_restorer : __default_sa_restorer,
-and sets SA_RESTORER,
-otherwise passes it as-is. Which is kinda strange, because AFAICS
-HAVE_SA_RESTORER is *not* defined for ARM.
-
-    libc/sysdeps/linux/i386/sigaction.c
-
-Forcibly sets SA_RESTORER and sa_restorer:
-kact.sa_flags = act->sa_flags | SA_RESTORER;
-kact.sa_restorer = ((act->sa_flags & SA_SIGINFO) ? &restore_rt : &restore);
-
-    libc/sysdeps/linux/x86_64/sigaction.c
-
-Forcibly sets SA_RESTORER and sa_restorer:
-kact.sa_flags = act->sa_flags | SA_RESTORER;
-kact.sa_restorer = &restore_rt;
-
-    libc/sysdeps/linux/mips/sigaction.c
-
-# ifdef HAVE_SA_RESTORER
-#  if _MIPS_SIM == _ABIO32
-                kact.sa_restorer = act->sa_restorer;
-#  else
-                kact.sa_restorer = &restore_rt;
-#  endif
-# endif
-No confusion here, HAVE_SA_RESTORER is #defined for MIPS
-
-    libc/sysdeps/linux/avr32/sigaction.c
-
-if (kact.sa_flags & SA_RESTORER) {
-        kact.sa_restorer = act->sa_restorer;
-} else {
-        kact.sa_restorer = __default_rt_sa_restorer;
-	kact.sa_flags |= SA_RESTORER;
-}
-Does not check HAVE_SA_RESTORER, but avr32 falls
-in "completely ordinary" category on both kernel and
-userspace sides, and those have it defined.
-
-    libc/sysdeps/linux/xtensa/sigaction.c
-
-if (kact.sa_flags & SA_RESTORER) {
-        kact.sa_restorer = act->sa_restorer;
-} else {
-        kact.sa_restorer = __default_sa_restorer;
-	kact.sa_flags |= SA_RESTORER;
-}
-Thus, similar to avr32.
-
-    libc/signal/sigaction.c (i.e. the all other arches)
-
-# ifdef HAVE_SA_RESTORER
-        kact.sa_restorer = act->sa_restorer;
-# endif
-Plain translation, just sa_restorer copy is protected
-by HAVE_SA_RESTORER #define check. Looks like here
-HAVE_SA_RESTORER will be undef'ed only for IA64,
-Alpha an HPPA.
-
-
-	Proposed overhaul past 0.9.30
-
-Since we can define libc-side structures at will:
-make sigset_t and struct sigaction identical on kernel side and libc side
-within each arch. If arches do not need special handling of sa_restorer,
-then sigaction() can directly use passed struct sigaction as-is.
-Otherwise, a copy is still needed, although sigaction() might have
-just one struct kernel_sigaction on stack and use it both for passing
-data to kernel and for receiving it back. Might save a few bytes.
-
-To this effect:
-
-* Make sigset_t size match kernel side on all arches.
-  This is easy since all arches have 64 signals and only MIPS has 128.
-
-* Modify libc/sysdeps/linux/$ARCH/bits/sigaction.h
-  so that its struct sigaction matches kernel's. If sa_restorer
-  field is present in libc but is missing in kernel_sigaction,
-  add it at the bottom in order to not mess up kernel_sigaction layout.
-
-* Modify libc/sysdeps/linux/$ARCH/sigaction.c
-  to implement the logic above. In "common" pseudo-arch
-  (libc/signal/sigaction.c file),
-  we would not even need to do any copying, as described above.
-
-* Document discovered arch quirks while debugging this mess.
-
-* struct old_kernel_sigaction can't be disposed of in a similar way,
-  we need to have userspace struct sigaction unchanged regardless
-  whether we use "old" or "new" kernel sigaction() syscall.
-  It's moot anyway because "old" one is long unused, it's from
-  pre-2.2 kernels.
