2012-02-01util: Move bitwise_copy() here, add new bitwise functions, add a test.Ben Pfaff
bitwise_copy() is generally useful so make it a general utility function. Also add a comment. Upcoming commits will introduce users for the new functions. Signed-off-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@nicira.com>
2011-04-04Log anything that could prevent a daemon from starting.Ben Pfaff
If a daemon doesn't start, we need to know why. Being able to consistently consult the log to find out is helpful.
2010-11-15random: Add entropy test.Ben Pfaff
This test would have made the bug fixed in the previous commit obvious. It would have printed the following: average=0007c220 bit 0 1 0 5012 4988 1 5019 4981 2 5154 4846 3 4909 5091 4 5011 4989 5 5021 4979 6 4911 5089 7 4910 5090 8 5011 4989 9 5020 4980 10 5154 4846 11 5021 4979 12 5155 4845 13 5019 4981 14 5153 4847 15 5153 4847 16 5153 4847 17 5153 4847 18 5153 4847 19 5152 4848 20 10000 0 21 10000 0 22 10000 0 23 10000 0 24 10000 0 25 10000 0 26 10000 0 27 10000 0 28 10000 0 29 10000 0 30 10000 0 31 10000 0 (expected values are 5000) nibble 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 0 696 646 564 693 542 545 612 611 687 663 645 560 674 566 592 704 1 625 589 597 571 638 623 604 663 670 652 650 557 541 683 686 651 2 628 644 659 672 648 569 585 616 623 647 681 600 586 675 601 566 3 683 665 717 549 633 613 701 592 663 531 545 800 623 608 590 487 4 622 657 777 557 720 608 613 598 657 678 551 654 615 596 598 499 5 10000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 10000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 10000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 (expected values are 625)
2010-11-15random: Fix random number generator.Ben Pfaff
As written, this "32-bit" random number generator nevers returns a value bigger than 0xfffe0. This fixes the problem.
2010-08-12random: Get random seed from /dev/urandom.Ben Pfaff
Even though this PRNG is not meant to be cryptographically secure, there is no reason not to get a high-quality seed. CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>
2010-08-11random: Implement a decent random number generator.Ben Pfaff
Until now this library has based its random number upon those returned by libc's rand() function. This has always bugged me--it is not a good solution since rand() varies in quality so much. This commit changes the random library to use a simple but high-quality PRNG.
