It is common to use the expression 'sizeof(x) * CHAR_BIT' to mean the
width in bits of a type or object. Now that there are _WIDTH macros for
some types, indicating the number of bits that they use, it makes sense
to wrap this calculation in a macro of a similar name.

The old code didn't produce very good random numbers. It had a bias.
And that was from performing some unnecessary floating-point
calculations that overcomplicate the problem.

This API is similar to arc4random_uniform(3). However, for an input of
0, this function is equivalent to csrand(), while arc4random_uniform(0)
returns 0.
This function will be used to reimplement csrand_interval() as a wrapper
around this one.
The current implementation of csrand_interval() doesn't produce very good
random numbers. It has a bias. And that comes from performing some
unnecessary floating-point calculations that overcomplicate the problem.
Looping until the random number hits within bounds is unbiased, and
truncating unwanted bits makes the overhead of the loop very small.
We could reduce loop overhead even more, by keeping unused bits of the
random number, if the width of the mask is not greater than
ULONG_WIDTH/2, however, that complicates the code considerably, and I
prefer to be a bit slower but have simple code.
BTW, Björn really deserves the copyright for csrand() (previously known
as read_random_bytes()), since he rewrote it almost from scratch last
year, and I kept most of its contents. Since he didn't put himself in
the copyright back then, and BSD-3-Clause doesn't allow me to attribute
derived works, I won't add his name, but if he asks, he should be put in
the copyright too.

These functions implement bit manipulation APIs, which will be added to
C23, so that in the far future, we will be able to replace our functions
by the standard ones, just by adding the stdc_ prefix, and including
<stdbit.h>.
However, we need to avoid UB for an input of 0, so slightly deviate from
C23, and use a different name (with _wrap) for distunguishing our API
from the standard one.

arc4random(3) returns a number.
arc4random_buf(3) fills a buffer.
arc4random_uniform(3) returns a number less than a bound.
and I'd add a hypothetical one which we use:
*_interval() should return a number within the interval [min, max].
In reality, the function being called csrand() in this patch is not
really cryptographically secure, since it had a bias, but a subsequent
patch will fix that.

We were always casting the result to u_long. Better just use that type
in the function. Since we're returning u_long, it makes sense to also
specify the input as u_long. In fact, that'll help for doing bitwise
operations inside this function.

I have plans to split this function in smaller functions that implement
bits of this functionallity, to simplify the implementation. So, let's
use names that distinguish them.
This one produces a number within an interval, so make that clear. Also
make clear that the function produces cryptographically-secure numbers.

Instead of using volatile pointers to prevent the compiler from
optimizing the call away, use a memory barrier.
This requires support for embedded assembly, which should be fine after
the recent requirement bumps.
memset_s() has a different signature than memset(3) or explicit_bzero(),
thus the current code would not compile. Also memset_s()
implementations are quite rare.
Use the C23 standardized version memset_explicit(3).

arc4random(3) without kernel support is unsafe, as it can't know when to
drop the buffer. Since we depend on libbsd since recently, we have
arc4random(3) functions always available, and thus, this code would have
always called arc4random_buf(3bsd), which is unsafe. Put it after some
better alternatives, at least until in a decade or so all systems have a
recent enough glibc.
glibc implements arc4random(3) safely, since it's just a wrapper around
getrandom(2).

gethostbyname(3) was removed in POSIX.1-2008. It has been obsoleted,
and replaced by getaddrinfo(3), which is superior in several ways:
- gethostbyname(3) is not reentrant. There's a GNU extension,
gethostbyname_r(3) which is reentrant, but it's not likely to be
standardized for the following reason. And we don't care too much
about this point either.
- gethostbyname(3) only supports IPv4, but getaddrinfo(3) supports both
IPv4 and IPv6 (and may support other address families in the future).
We don't care about reentrancy, so for keeping the code simple (i.e.,
not touch call site to add code to free(3) an allocated buffer), I added
a static buffer for inet_ntop(3). We could address that in the future,
but I don't think it's worth it.
BTW, we also replace inet_ntoa(3) by inet_ntop(3), as a consequence of
using getaddrinfo(3). inet_ntoa(3) is also marked as deprecated, but
that deprecation seems to have been documented only in the manual page,
and POSIX doesn't mark it as deprecated. The deprecation notice goes
back to when the inet_ntop(3) manual page was added by Sam Varshavchik
to the Linux man-pages in version 1.30 (year 2000).
So, this, apart from updating the code to POSIX.1-2008, is also adding
support for IPv6 :) Although, probably many other parts of the code are
written for IPv4 only, so I wouldn't yet claim support for it.
A few notes:
- I didn't check the return value of inet_ntop(3), since it can't fail
for the given input:
- EAFNOSUPPORT: We only call it with AF_INET and AF_INET6.
- ENOSPC: We calculate the size of the buffer to be wide enough:
MAX(INET_ADDRSTRLEN, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN) so it always fits.

- Since strncpy(3) is not designed to write strings, but rather
(null-padded) character sequences (a.k.a. unterminated strings), we
had to manually append a '\0'. strlcpy(3) creates strings, so they
are always terminated. This removes dependencies between lines, and
also removes chances of accidents.
- Repurposing strncpy(3) to create strings requires calculating the
location of the terminating null byte, which involves a '-1'
calculation. This is a source of off-by-one bugs. The new code has
no '-1' calculations, so there's almost-zero chance of these bugs.
- strlcpy(3) doesn't padd with null bytes. Padding is relevant when
writing fixed-width buffers to binary files, when interfacing certain
APIs (I believe utmpx requires null padding at lease in some
systems), or when sending them to other processes or through the
network. This is not the case, so padding is effectively ignored.
- strlcpy(3) requires that the input string is really a string;
otherwise it crashes (SIGSEGV). Let's check if the input strings are
really strings:
- lib/fields.c:
- 'cp' was assigned from 'newft', and 'newft' comes from fgets(3).
- lib/gshadow.c:
- strlen(string) is calculated a few lines above.
- libmisc/console.c:
- 'cons' comes from getdef_str, which is a bit cryptic, but seems
to generate strings, I guess.1
- libmisc/date_to_str.c:
- It receives a string literal. :)
- libmisc/utmp.c:
- 'tname' comes from ttyname(3), which returns a string.
- src/su.c:
- 'tmp_name' has been passed to strcmp(3) a few lines above.

On Linux, utmpx and utmp are identical. However, documentation (manual
pages) covers utmp, and just says about utmpx that it's identical to
utmp. It seems that it's preferred to use utmp, at least by reading the
manual pages.
Moreover, we were defaulting to utmp (utmpx had to be explicitly enabled
at configuration time). So, it seems safer to just make it permanent,
which should not affect default builds.

When useradd sends its ADD_USER event, it is filling in the id field. This is not yet written to disk. When auditd sees the event and the log format is enriched, auditd tries to lookup the user name but it does not exist. This causes the event to never be resolvable since ausearch relies on the lookup information attached by auditd.
The fix is to not send the id information for any event until after close_files() is called. Just the acct field is all that is
