[PATCH 3/4] getentropy: Add test.

This is a necessary test, but I don't think it is that sufficient to
give a good idea of the quality of the entropy returned. It would be
better instead to calculate an actual entropy (information theoretic)
measure over multiple calls to getentropy(). The program test logic
could be something like....
---
uint8_t entropy_buffers[n][nr_bytes];
/* fill buffers with guard bits */
...
/* read entropy n times */
for ( i = 0; i < n; i++ ) {
rv = getentropy(entropy_buffers[i], nr_bytes);
assert(rv == 0)
}
/* count the occurrence of each byte pattern, 1 per bin */
uint8_t bin_counts[1<<8];
/* init bin_counts to 0 */
...
for ( i = 0; i < n; i++ ) {
for ( b = 0; b < nr_bytes; b++ ) {
bin_counts[entropy_buffers[i][b]]++;
}
}
/* calculate the entropy of the bins */
float entropy = 0.0;
for ( i = 0; i < 1<<8; i++ ) {
float p = bin_counts[i] / (n * nr_bytes);
entropy = entropy + p * log(p)/log(8); /* normalize log to bin size
(8 bits) */
}
entropy = 0.0 - entropy;
/* expect entropy ~ 1 for uniformly distributed values */
