Windows RNG: Use BCRYPT_RNG_ALG_HANDLE by default #101325

This only changes a small amount of actual code, the rest is documentation outlining the history of this module as I feel it will be relevant to any future issues that might crop up.

The code change is to use the BCRYPT_RNG_ALG_HANDLE pseudo-handle by default, which simply uses the default RNG. Previously we used BCRYPT_USE_SYSTEM_PREFERRED_RNG which has to load the system configuration and then find and load that RNG. I suspect this was the cause of failures on some systems (e.g. due to corrupted config). However, this is admittedly speculation as I can't reproduce the issue myself (and it does seem quite rare even in the wild). Still, removing a possible point of failure is likely worthwhile in any case.

Also briefly document the history of `sys/windows/rand.rs` as they may be relevant to any future changes.

// BCRYPT_RNG_ALG_HANDLE is only supported in Windows 10+.
// So for Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 we'll need a fallback when this fails.

This means we'll use RtlGenRandom on those, but that's fine because we know it won't change or go away on them (as they've already been released).

If I were more confident that this does indeed fix the issue some people are having, I'd be minded to remove RtlGenRandom and have a BCryptGenRandom based fallback. But the only way to really test is via Firefox's crash stats, which obviously isn't great. Maybe I'll try it in the next release cycle if I'm feeling more certain at that point.

Windows RNG: Use `BCRYPT_RNG_ALG_HANDLE` by default

This only changes a small amount of actual code, the rest is documentation outlining the history of this module as I feel it will be relevant to any future issues that might crop up.

The code change is to use the `BCRYPT_RNG_ALG_HANDLE` [pseudo-handle](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/seccng/cng-algorithm-pseudo-handles) by default, which simply uses the default RNG. Previously we used `BCRYPT_USE_SYSTEM_PREFERRED_RNG` which has to load the system configuration and then find and load that RNG. I suspect this was the cause of failures on some systems (e.g. due to corrupted config). However, this is admittedly speculation as I can't reproduce the issue myself (and it does seem quite rare even in the wild). Still, removing a possible point of failure is likely worthwhile in any case.

wip-sync pushed a commit to NetBSD/pkgsrc-wip that referenced this pull request Nov 27, 2022
Pkgsrc changes:
 * We now manage to build for mipsel-unknown-netbsd, but despite the
   target spec saying cpu = "mips3", the compiler manages to emit 64-bit
   instructions which cause "illegal instruction" error.  Will need more
   work.  The mipsel-unknown-netbsd entry is commentd out since there
   is no 1.64.0 bootstrap.
 * Managed to retain the build of aarch64_be, llvm needed a patch to
   avoid use of neon instructions in the BE case (llvm doesn't support
   use of neon in BE mode).  Ref. patch to
   src/llvm-project/llvm/lib/Support/BLAKE3/blake3_impl.h.
 * The minimum gcc version is now 7.x, and that includes the cross-compiler
   for the targets.  For i386 this also needs to /usr/include/gcc-7 include
   files in the target root, because immintrin.h from gcc 5 is not
   compatible with gcc 7.x.  This applies for the targets where we build
   against a root from netbsd-8 (sparc64, powerpc, i386), and files/gcc-wrap
   gets a hack for this.
 * Pick up tweak for -latomic inclusion from
   rust-lang/rust#104220
   and
   rust-lang/rust#104572
 * Retain ability to do 32-bit NetBSD, by changing from 64 to 32 bit
   types in library/std/src/sys/unix/thread_parker/netbsd.rs.
 * I've struggled a bit to get the "openssl-src" build with -latomic
   where it's needed.  I introduce "NetBSD-generic32" system type and
   use it for the NetBSD mipsel target.  There is another attempt to
   do the same in the patch to vendor/openssl-sys/build/main.rs.
 * Bump bootstraps to 1.64.0, checksum updates.

  immediate UB](rust-lang/rust#98919).
  Usage of `MaybeUninit` is the correct way to work with uninitialized
  memory.
- [Stabilize raw-dylib for Windows x86_64, aarch64, and thumbv7a]
  (rust-lang/rust#99916)
- [Do not allow `Drop` impl on foreign ADTs]
  (rust-lang/rust#99576)

Compiler
--------

  (rust-lang/rust#98051)
- [Use niche-filling optimization even when multiple variants have
  data] (rust-lang/rust#94075)

New targets:
- [Add armv4t-none-eabi as a tier 3 target]
  (rust-lang/rust#100244)
- [Add powerpc64-unknown-openbsd and riscv64-unknown-openbsd as tier 3 targets]
  (rust-lang/rust#101025)
- Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
  information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------
- [Don't generate `PartialEq::ne` in derive(PartialEq)]
  (rust-lang/rust#98655)
- [Windows RNG: Use `BCRYPT_RNG_ALG_HANDLE` by default]
  (rust-lang/rust#101325)
- [Forbid mixing `System` with direct system allocator calls]
  (rust-lang/rust#101394)
- [Document no support for writing to non-blocking stdio/stderr]
  (rust-lang/rust#101416)
- [`std::layout::Layout` size must not overflow `isize::MAX` when
  rounded up to `align`](rust-lang/rust#95295)
  This also changes the safety conditions on
  `Layout::from_size_align_unchecked`.

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`std::backtrace::Backtrace`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/backtrace/struct.Backtrace.html)
- [`Bound::as_ref`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ops/enum.Bound.html#method.as_ref)
- [`std::io::read_to_string`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/io/fn.read_to_string.html)
- [`<*const T>::cast_mut`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.cast_mut)
- [`<*mut T>::cast_const`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.cast_const)

These APIs are now stable in const contexts:
- [`<*const T>::offset_from`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.offset_from)
- [`<*mut T>::offset_from`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.offset_from)

Cargo
-----
- [Apply GitHub fast path even for partial hashes]
  (rust-lang/cargo#10807)
- [Do not add home bin path to PATH if it's already there]
  (rust-lang/cargo#11023)
- [Take priority into account within the pending queue]
  (rust-lang/cargo#11032).
  This slightly optimizes job scheduling by Cargo, with typically
  small improvements on larger crate graph builds.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [`std::layout::Layout` size must not overflow `isize::MAX` when
  rounded up to `align`] (rust-lang/rust#95295).
  This also changes the safety conditions on
  `Layout::from_size_align_unchecked`.
- [`PollFn` now only implements `Unpin` if the closure is `Unpin`]
  (rust-lang/rust#102737).
  This is a possible breaking change if users were relying on the
  blanket unpin implementation.  See discussion on the PR for
  details of why this change was made.
- [Drop ExactSizeIterator impl from std::char::EscapeAscii]
  (rust-lang/rust#99880)
  This is a backwards-incompatible change to the standard library's
  surface area, but is unlikely to affect real world usage.
- [Do not consider a single repeated lifetime eligible for elision
  in the return type] (rust-lang/rust#103450)
  This behavior was unintentionally changed in 1.64.0, and this
  release reverts that change by making this an error again.
- [Reenable disabled early syntax gates as future-incompatibility
  lints] (rust-lang/rust#99935)
- [Update the minimum external LLVM to 13]
  (rust-lang/rust#100460)
- [Don't duplicate file descriptors into stdio fds]
  (rust-lang/rust#101426)
- [Sunset RLS](rust-lang/rust#100863)
- [Deny usage of `#![cfg_attr(..., crate_type = ...)]` to set the
  crate type] (rust-lang/rust#99784)
  This strengthens the forward compatibility lint
  deprecated_cfg_attr_crate_type_name to deny.
- [`llvm-has-rust-patches` allows setting the build system to treat
  the LLVM as having Rust-specific patches]
  (rust-lang/rust#101072)
  This option may need to be set for distributions that are building
  Rust with a patched LLVM via `llvm-config`, not the built-in
  LLVM.

Internal Changes
----------------

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent
significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related
tools.

- [Add `x.sh` and `x.ps1` shell scripts]
  (rust-lang/rust#99992)
- [compiletest: use target cfg instead of hard-coded tables]
  (rust-lang/rust#100260)
- [Use object instead of LLVM for reading bitcode from rlibs]
  (rust-lang/rust#98100)
- [Enable MIR inlining for optimized compilations]
  (rust-lang/rust#91743)
  This provides a 3-10% improvement in compiletimes for real world
  crates. See [perf results]
  (https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=aedf78e56b2279cc869962feac5153b6ba7001ed&end=0075bb4fad68e64b6d1be06bf2db366c30bc75e1&stat=instructions:u).

  `Layout::from_size_align_unchecked`.

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`std::backtrace::Backtrace`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/backtrace/struct.Backtrace.html)
- [`Bound::as_ref`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ops/enum.Bound.html#method.as_ref)
- [`std::io::read_to_string`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/io/fn.read_to_string.html)
- [`<*const T>::cast_mut`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.cast_mut)
- [`<*mut T>::cast_const`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.cast_const)

These APIs are now stable in const contexts:
- [`<*const T>::offset_from`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.offset_from)
- [`<*mut T>::offset_from`]
  (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.offset_from)

Cargo
-----
- [Apply GitHub fast path even for partial hashes]
  (rust-lang/cargo#10807)
- [Do not add home bin path to PATH if it's already there]
  (rust-lang/cargo#11023)
- [Take priority into account within the pending queue]
  (rust-lang/cargo#11032).
  This slightly optimizes job scheduling by Cargo, with typically
  small improvements on larger crate graph builds.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [`std::layout::Layout` size must not overflow `isize::MAX` when
  rounded up to `align`] (rust-lang/rust#95295).
  This also changes the safety conditions on
  `Layout::from_size_align_unchecked`.
- [`PollFn` now only implements `Unpin` if the closure is `Unpin`]
  (rust-lang/rust#102737).
  This is a possible breaking change if users were relying on the
  blanket unpin implementation.  See discussion on the PR for
  details of why this change was made.
- [Drop ExactSizeIterator impl from std::char::EscapeAscii]
  (rust-lang/rust#99880)
  This is a backwards-incompatible change to the standard library's
  surface area, but is unlikely to affect real world usage.
- [Do not consider a single repeated lifetime eligible for elision
  in the return type] (rust-lang/rust#103450)
  This behavior was unintentionally changed in 1.64.0, and this
  release reverts that change by making this an error again.
- [Reenable disabled early syntax gates as future-incompatibility
  lints] (rust-lang/rust#99935)
- [Update the minimum external LLVM to 13]
  (rust-lang/rust#100460)
- [Don't duplicate file descriptors into stdio fds]
  (rust-lang/rust#101426)
- [Sunset RLS](rust-lang/rust#100863)
- [Deny usage of `#![cfg_attr(..., crate_type = ...)]` to set the
  crate type] (rust-lang/rust#99784)
  This strengthens the forward compatibility lint
  deprecated_cfg_attr_crate_type_name to deny.
- [`llvm-has-rust-patches` allows setting the build system to treat
  the LLVM as having Rust-specific patches]
  (rust-lang/rust#101072)
  This option may need to be set for distributions that are building
  Rust with a patched LLVM via `llvm-config`, not the built-in
  LLVM.

Internal Changes
----------------

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent
significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related
tools.

- [Add `x.sh` and `x.ps1` shell scripts]
  (rust-lang/rust#99992)
- [compiletest: use target cfg instead of hard-coded tables]
  (rust-lang/rust#100260)
- [Use object instead of LLVM for reading bitcode from rlibs]
  (rust-lang/rust#98100)
- [Enable MIR inlining for optimized compilations]
  (rust-lang/rust#91743)
  This provides a 3-10% improvement in compiletimes for real world
  crates. See [perf results]
  (https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=aedf78e56b2279cc869962feac5153b6ba7001ed&end=0075bb4fad68e64b6d1be06bf2db366c30bc75e1&stat=instructions:u).
