Pull up following revision(s) (requested by riastradh in ticket #597):
        lib/libc/gen/arc4random.c: revisions 1.26-1.28
        lib/libc/gen/arc4random.3:: revisions 1.10-1.19
Rewrite arc4random(3) with ChaCha20-based PRNG and per-thread state.
Explain the security model in the man page.
No more RC4!
--
Grammar.
--
Note relation of arc4random(3) to rand(3)/random(3).
--
Ruminate on security model choices and API design in arc4random(3).
--
Amplify comment about how quickly RC4 was known to be bad.
--
Markup for BUGS note about arc4random_uniform.
--
Cross-reference rnd(4).
--
Remove unnecessary Ns before punctuation. Fix a line.
--
Fix Google Groups link.
--
Tweak wording, define `output', remove misplaced scaremongering.
--
Fix non _REENTRANT build.
--
Use ChaCha20 here as advertised, not ChaCha8.
Oops.
Fortunately, there is no public cryptanalysis even of ChaCha8: the
best published attack is on ChaCha7 with time complexity 2^248.

 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
-.Fn arc4random
-function provides a high quality 32-bit pseudo-random
-number very quickly.
-.Fn arc4random
-seeds itself on a regular basis from the kernel strong random number
-subsystem described in
-.Xr rnd 4 .
-On each call, an ARC4 generator is used to generate a new result.
-The
-.Fn arc4random
-function uses the ARC4 cipher key stream generator,
-which uses 8*8 8 bit S-Boxes.
-The S-Boxes can be in about (2**1700) states.
+.Nm
+family of functions provides a cryptographic pseudorandom number
+generator automatically seeded from the system entropy pool and safe to
+use from multiple threads.
+.Nm
+is designed to prevent an adversary from guessing outputs,
+unlike
+.Xr rand 3
+and
+.Xr random 3 ,
+and is faster and more convenient than reading from
+.Pa /dev/urandom
+directly.
 .Pp
 .Fn arc4random
-fits into a middle ground not covered by other subsystems such as
-the strong, slow, and resource expensive random
-devices described in
-.Xr rnd 4
-versus the fast but poor quality interfaces described in
+returns an integer in [0, 2^32) chosen independently with uniform
+distribution.
+.Pp
+.Fn arc4random_uniform
+returns an integer in [0,
+.Fa bound )
+chosen independently with uniform distribution.
+.Pp
+.Fn arc4random_buf
+stores
+.Fa len
+bytes into the memory pointed to by
+.Fa buf ,
+each byte chosen independently from [0, 256) with uniform
+distribution.
+.Pp
+.Fn arc4random_stir
+draws entropy from the operating system and incorporates it into the
+library's PRNG state to influence future outputs.
+.Pp
+.Fn arc4random_addrandom
+incorporates
+.Fa len
+bytes, which must be nonnegative, from the buffer
+.Fa buf ,
+into the library's PRNG state to influence future outputs.
+.Pp
+It is not necessary for an application to call
+.Fn arc4random_stir
+or
+.Fn arc4random_addrandom
+before calling other
+.Nm
+functions.
+The first call to any
+.Nm
+function will initialize the PRNG state unpredictably from the system
+entropy pool.
+.Sh SECURITY MODEL
+The
+.Nm
+functions provide the following security properties against three
+different classes of attackers, assuming enough entropy is provided by
+the operating system:
+.Bl -bullet -offset abcd
+.It
+An attacker who has seen some outputs of any of the
+.Nm
+functions cannot predict past or future unseen outputs.
+.It
+An attacker who has seen the library's PRNG state in memory cannot
+predict past outputs.
+.It
+An attacker who has seen one process's PRNG state cannot predict past
+or future outputs in other processes, particularly its parent or
+siblings.
+.El
+.Pp
+One
+.Sq output
+means the result of any single request to an
+.Nm
+function, no matter how short it is.
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+The
+.Nm
+functions are currently implemented using the ChaCha20 pseudorandom
+function family.
+For any 32-byte string
+.Fa s ,
+.Pf ChaCha20_ Fa s
+is a function from 16-byte strings to 64-byte strings.
+It is conjectured that if
+.Fa s
+is chosen with uniform distribution, then the distribution on
+.Pf ChaCha20_ Fa s
+is indistinguishable to a computationally bounded adversary from a
+uniform distribution on all functions from 16-byte strings to 64-byte
+strings.
+.Pp
+The PRNG state is a 32-byte ChaCha20 key
+.Fa s .
+Each request to
+an
+.Nm
+function
+.Bl -bullet -offset abcd -compact
+.It
+computes the 64-byte quantity
+.Fa x
+=
+.Pf ChaCha20_ Fa s Ns (0),
+.It
+splits
+.Fa x
+into two 32-byte quantities
+.Fa s'
+and
+.Fa k ,
+.It
+replaces
+.Fa s
+by
+.Fa s' ,
+and
+.It
+uses
+.Fa k
+as output.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Fn arc4random
+yields the first four bytes of
+.Fa k
+as output directly.
+.Fn arc4random_buf
+either yields up to 32 bytes of
+.Fa k
+as output directly, or, for longer
+requests, uses
+.Fa k
+as a ChaCha20 key and yields the concatenation
+.Pf ChaCha20_ Fa k Ns (0)
+||
+.Pf ChaCha20_ Fa k Ns (1)
+|| ... as output.
+.Fn arc4random_uniform
+repeats
+.Fn arc4random
+until it obtains an integer in [2^32 %
+.Fa bound ,
+2^32), and reduces that modulo
+.Fa bound .
+.Pp
+The PRNG state is per-thread, unless memory allocation fails inside the
+library, in which case some threads may share global PRNG state with a
+mutex.
+The global PRNG state is zeroed on fork in the parent via
+.Xr pthread_atfork 3 ,
+and the per-thread PRNG state is zeroed on fork in the child via
+.Xr minherit 2
+with
+.Dv MAP_INHERIT_ZERO ,
+so that the child cannot reuse or see the parent's PRNG state.
+The PRNG state is reseeded automatically from the system entropy pool
+on the first use of an
+.Nm
+function after zeroing.
+.Pp
+The first use of an
+.Nm
+function may abort the process in the highly unlikely event that
+library initialization necessary to implement the security model fails.
+Additionally,
+.Fn arc4random_stir
+and
+.Fn arc4random_addrandom
+may abort the process in the highly unlikely event that the operating
+system fails to provide entropy.
