// Rationale for using `UnsafeCell` in `ThreadRng`:
22
//
23
// Previously we used a `RefCell`, with an overhead of ~15%. There will only
24
// ever be one mutable reference to the interior of the `UnsafeCell`, because
25
// we only have such a reference inside `next_u32`, `next_u64`, etc. Within a
26
// single thread (which is the definition of `ThreadRng`), there will only ever
27
// be one of these methods active at a time.
28
//
29
// A possible scenario where there could be multiple mutable references is if
30
// `ThreadRng` is used inside `next_u32` and co. But the implementation is
31
// completely under our control. We just have to ensure none of them use
32
// `ThreadRng` internally, which is nonsensical anyway. We should also never run
33
// `ThreadRng` in destructors of its implementation, which is also nonsensical.
34
35
// Number of generated bytes after which to reseed `ThreadRng`.
36
// According to benchmarks, reseeding has a noticeable impact with thresholds
37
// of 32 kB and less. We choose 64 kiB output to avoid significant overhead;
38
// since a block consists of 16 4-byte words this equals 1024 blocks.

83

84
/// Security must be considered relative to a threat model and validation

86
/// purpose. The design criteria for `ThreadRng` are as follows:
87
///
88
/// - Automatic seeding via [`SysRng`] and after every 64 kB of output.
89
///   Limitation: there is no automatic reseeding on process fork (see [below](#fork)).
90
/// - A rigorously analyzed, unpredictable (cryptographic) pseudo-random generator
91
///   (see [the book on security](https://rust-random.github.io/book/guide-rngs.html#security)).
92
///   The currently selected algorithm is ChaCha (12-rounds).
93
///   See also [`StdRng`] documentation.
94
/// - Not to leak internal state through [`Debug`] or serialization
95
///   implementations.
96
/// - No further protections exist to in-memory state. In particular, the
97
///   implementation is not required to zero memory on exit (of the process or
98
///   thread). (This may change in the future.)
99
/// - Be fast enough for general-purpose usage. Note in particular that
100
///   `ThreadRng` is designed to be a "fast, reasonably secure generator"
101
///   (where "reasonably secure" implies the above criteria).
102
///
103
/// We leave it to the user to determine whether this generator meets their
104
/// security requirements. For an alternative, see [`SysRng`].
105
///
106
/// # Forks and interrupts
107
///
108
/// `ThreadRng` is not automatically reseeded on fork. It is recommended to
109
/// explicitly call [`ThreadRng::reseed`] immediately after a fork, for example:
110
/// ```ignore
111
/// fn do_fork() {
112
///     let pid = unsafe { libc::fork() };
113
///     if pid == 0 {
114
///         // Reseed ThreadRng in child processes:
115
///         rand::rng().reseed();
116
///     }

118

121
/// from an interrupt (e.g. a fork handler) unless it can be guaranteed that no
122
/// other method on the same `ThreadRng` is currently executing.
