RAND_bytes rarely uses large enough inputs for bsaes to be worth it.
https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/c/boringssl/+/33589 includes some
rough benchmarks of various bits here. Some observations:
- 8 blocks of bsaes costs roughly 6.5 blocks of vpaes. Note the comparison
isn't quite accurate because I'm measuring bsaes_ctr32_encrypt_blocks against
vpaes_encrypt and vpaes in CTR mode today must make do with a C loop. Even
assuming a cutoff of 6 rather than 7 blocks, it's rare to ask for 96 bytes
of entropy at a time.
- CTR-DRBG performs some stray block operations (ctr_drbg_update), which bsaes
is bad at without extra work to fold them into the CTR loop (not really worth
it).
- CTR-DRBG calculates a couple new key schedules every RAND_bytes call. We
don't currently have a constant-time bsaes key schedule. Unfortunately, even
plain vpaes loses to the current aes_nohw used by bsaes, but it's not
constant-time. Also taking CTR-DRBG out of the bsaes equation
- Machines without AES hardware (clients) are not going to be RNG-bound. It's
mostly servers pushing way too many CBC IVs that care. This means bsaes's
current side channel tradeoffs make even less sense here.
I'm not sure yet what we should do for the rest of the bsaes mess, but it seems
clear that we want to stick with vpaes for the RNG.

Prior to 82639e6f we used thread-local data for the PRNG state. That
change switched to using a mutex-protected pool instead in order to save
memory in heavily-threaded applications.
However, the pool mutex can get extremely hot in cases where the PRNG is
heavily used. 8e8f2504 was a short-term work around, but supporting both
modes is overly complex.
This change moves back to the state of the prior to 82639e6f. The best
way to review this is to diff the changed files against '82639e6f^' and
note that the only difference is a comment added in rand.c:

We switched from thread-local storage to a mutex-pool in 82639e6f53
because, for highly-threaded processes, the memory used by all the
states could be quite large. I had judged that a mutex-pool should be
fine, but had underestimated the PRNG requirements of some of our jobs.
This change makes rand.c support using either thread-locals or a
mutex-pool. Thread-locals are used if fork-unsafe buffering is enabled.
While not strictly related to fork-safety, we already have the
fork-unsafe control, and it's already set by jobs that care a lot about
PRNG performance, so fits quite nicely here.

This is an extremely important and practical use case. The comment that
state->calls is bounded by the reseed interval isn't quite true. We only
check on entry to the function, which means that it may exceed it by one
call's worth. Switch it to a size_t (which doesn't actually increase
memory because the struct was already padded).

Previously we used thread-local state objects in rand.c. However, for
applications with large numbers of threads, this can lead to excessive

This change causes us to maintain a mutex-protected pool of state
objects where the size of the pool equals the maximum concurrency of
|RAND_bytes|. This might lead to state objects bouncing between CPUs
more often, but should help the memory usage problem.

POWER8 has hardware transactional memory, which glibc uses to implement
locks. In some cases, taking a lock begins a transaction, wrapping
arbitrary user code (!) until the lock is released. If the transaction
is aborted, everything rewinds and glibc tries again with some other
implementation.
The kernel will abort the transaction in a variety of cases. Notably, on
a syscall, the transaction aborts and the syscall *does not happen*.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/powerpc/transactional_memory.txt
Yet, for some reason, although the relevant change does appear to be in
the kernel, the transaction is being rewound with getrandom happening
anyway. This does not work very well.
Instead, only guard the DRBG access with the lock, not CRYPTO_sysrand.
This lock is only used to protect the DRBG from the destructor that
zeros everything.

Most importantly, this version of delocate works for ppc64le. It should
also work for x86-64, but will need significant testing to make sure
that it covers all the cases that the previous delocate.go covered.
It's less stringtastic than the old code, however the parser isn't as
nice as I would have liked. I thought that the reason we put up with
AT&T syntax with Intel is so that assembly syntax could be somewhat
consistent across platforms. At least for ppc64le, that does not appear
to be the case.
