rbx needs to be stashed in a 64bit register on 64bit platforms. With this crash
in particular, it was holding a stack canary which was not properly restored
after the cpuid.
Split out the x86+PIC case so that x86_64 doesn't have to worry about it.

provide.

This changes the logging categories to boolean flags instead of strings.
This simplifies the acceptance testing by avoiding accessing a scoped
static thread local pointer to a thread local set of strings. It
eliminates the only use of boost::thread_specific_ptr outside of
lockorder debugging.
This change allows log entries to be directed to multiple categories
and makes it easy to change the logging flags at runtime (e.g. via
an RPC, though that isn't done by this commit.)
It also eliminates the fDebug global.
Configuration of unknown logging categories now produces a warning.

If the code was compiled with newer (>=3.17) kernel headers but executed
on a system without the system call, every use of random would crash the
program. Add a fallback for that case.
|

Move the OS random test to a sanity check function that is called every
time bitcoind is initialized.
Keep `src/test/random_tests.cpp` for the case that later random tests
are added, and keep a rudimentary test that just calls the sanity check.

These are available in sandboxes without access to files or
devices. Also [they are safer and more straightforward](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy-supplying_system_calls)
to use than `/dev/urandom` as reading from a file has quite a few edge
cases:
- Linux: `getrandom(buf, buflen, 0)`. [getrandom(2)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html)
was introduced in version 3.17 of the Linux kernel.
- OpenBSD: `getentropy(buf, buflen)`. The [getentropy(2)](http://man.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man2/getentropy.2)
function appeared in OpenBSD 5.6.
- FreeBSD and NetBSD: `sysctl(KERN_ARND)`. Not sure when this was added
but it has existed for quite a while.
Alternatives:
- Linux has sysctl `CTL_KERN` / `KERN_RANDOM` / `RANDOM_UUID`
which gives 16 bytes of randomness. This may be available
on older kernels, however [sysctl is deprecated on Linux](https://lwn.net/Articles/605392/)
and even removed in some distros so we shouldn't use it.
Add tests for `GetOSRand()`:
- Test that no error happens (otherwise `RandFailure()` which aborts)
- Test that all 32 bytes are overwritten (initialize with zeros, try multiple times)
Discussion:
- When to use these? Currently they are always used when available.
Another option would be to use them only when `/dev/urandom` is not
available. But this would mean these code paths receive less testing,
and I'm not sure there is any reason to prefer `/dev/urandom`.
Closes: #9676

There are only a few uses of `insecure_random` outside the tests.
This PR replaces uses of insecure_random (and its accompanying global
state) in the core code with an FastRandomContext that is automatically
seeded on creation.
This is meant to be used for inner loops. The FastRandomContext
can be in the outer scope, or the class itself, then rand32() is used
inside the loop. Useful e.g. for pushing addresses in CNode or the fee
rounding, or randomization for coin selection.
As a context is created per purpose, thus it gets rid of
cross-thread unprotected shared usage of a single set of globals, this
should also get rid of the potential race conditions.
- I'd say TxMempool::check is not called enough to warrant using a special
fast random context, this is switched to GetRand() (open for
discussion...)
- The use of `insecure_rand` in ConnectThroughProxy has been replaced by
an atomic integer counter. The only goal here is to have a different
credentials pair for each connection to go on a different Tor circuit,
it does not need to be random nor unpredictable.
- To avoid having a FastRandomContext on every CNode, the context is
passed into PushAddress as appropriate.
There remains an insecure_random for test usage in `test_random.h`.

Code to avoid calling Perfmon too often is only needed when perfmon is actually going to get called.
This is not intended to make any functional difference in the addition of entropy to the random pool.

This makes it easier for us to replace it if desired, since it's now only in
one spot. Also, it avoids the openssl include from allocators.h, which
essentially forced openssl to be included from every compilation unit.

We're using GetRandomBytes in several contexts where it's either
unwieldy to return an error, or an error would mean a fatal exception
anyhow.
@gmaxwell checked OpenSSL a while ago and discovered that it never
actually fails, but it can't hurt to be a bit paranoid here.

- ensures alphabetical ordering for includes etc. in source file headers

Split up util.cpp/h into:
- string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach)
- money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney)
- time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date):
- and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing)
The latter is basically the environment and OS handling,
and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to
rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested
osinterface).
Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.

- removes the cstring include and is also used in RandAddSeedPerfmon()
