seedrng: import SeedRNG utility for kernel RNG seed files
The RNG can't actually be seeded from a shell script, due to the reliance on ioctls and the fact that entropy written into the unprivileged /dev/urandom device is not immediately mixed in, making subsequent seed reads dangerous. For this reason, the seedrng project provides a basic "C script" meant to be copy and pasted into projects like Busybox and tweaked as needed: <https://git.zx2c4.com/seedrng/about/>. The SeedRNG construction has been part of systemd's seeder since January, and recently was added to Android, OpenRC, and Void's Runit, with more integrations on their way depending on context. Virtually every single Busybox-based distro I have seen seeds things in wrong, incomplete, or otherwise dangerous way. For example, fixing this issue in Buildroot requires first for Busybox to have this fix. This commit imports it into Busybox and wires up the basic config. The utility itself is tiny, and unlike the example code from the SeedRNG project, we can re-use libbb's existing hash functions, rather than having to ship a standalone BLAKE2s, which makes this even smaller. function old new delta seedrng_main - 1463 +1463 .rodata 107858 108665 +807 seed_from_file_if_exists - 697 +697 packed_usage 34414 34519 +105 static.longopts - 38 +38 static.seedrng_prefix - 26 +26 seed_dir - 8 +8 non_creditable_seed - 8 +8 lock_file - 8 +8 creditable_seed - 8 +8 applet_names 2747 2755 +8 applet_main 3192 3200 +8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 9/0 grow/shrink: 4/0 up/down: 3184/0) Total: 3184 bytes text data bss dec hex filename 973776 4219 1816 979811 ef363 busybox_old 977035 4227 1848 983110 f0046 busybox_unstripped Signed-off-by: Jason A.
