Leah Rowe f7fccb5963 util/spkmodem-recv: split print_char() up
the logic for *setting* a character, and the logic
for outputting it, ought to be separate. do that.

Leah Rowe 212ce3a8ac util/spkmodem-recv: warn on unhandled exit error
my style of C programming is this: always return errno
upon exit from the program, or from a thread.

handle errno in the calling/forking function.

returning errno at the end of main has this intention:
if an unhandled error occured, the program exits with
non-zero status.

a correctly written program should *never* return non-zero
at the end of main, and if it does, this indicates a bug
in the code (per my code style / philosophy).

so, warn the user with a message if this occurs. the
intention is that this message should never be printed.

do not use assert() for this. i don't believe in that.
such a test should always be present, for everyone.

Leah Rowe a61ab37b67 util/spkmodem-recv: always set errno on err()
This version of spkmodem uses err() to indicate an error,
and the value of errno is used as exit status at all times,
even when it is zero.

When calling err(), it is intended that errno always be
non-zero, so modify the code accordingly.

Leah Rowe 3c2a287eea util/spkmodem-recv: handle sample errors correctly
when calling fread(), errno may be set to EOVEFLOW if
the range being read will cause an integer overflow

if end-of-file is reached, errno may not be set. when
calling this function, you must check errno or check
feof() - ferror() should also be checked, so this check
is added immediately afterwards in the code

ferror() does not set errno, so ERR() is used to set
errno to ECANCELED as program exit status

further separate reading of frames into a new function

The mentality behind pledge and unveil is that you should

*Open* files at the start, then unveil. The same overall

Leah Rowe 78fc89352b util/nvmutil: Use unveil, and harden pledges
After /dev/urandom (for MAC address randomisation) and
the GbE file have been handled, unveil them. Unveil is
a system call provided by OpenBSD that, when called,
restricts access only to the files and/or directories
specified, each given specific permissions.

You can learn more about unveil here:

https://man.openbsd.org/unveil.2

An ifdef rule makes nvmutil only use unveil on OpenBSD,
because it's not available anywhere else. This is the same
as with the pledge() system call.

Where invalid arguments are given, and no action performed,
pledge promises are also reduced to just stdio, preventing
any writes to files, or reads from files.

Leah Rowe c2cd191676 util/nvmutil: Harden pledge promises
After reading a file, remove rpath.

When removing rpath, also remove wpath if flags
are not to O_RDONLY (read-only disk operation).

When wpath is permitted, and a file was successfully
written, remove wpath.

In order to permit /dev/urandom access in rhex(),
I call it as a void just before re-calling pledge.

The rhex() function has been written in such a way
that /dev/urandom only needs to be read *once*.

small nitpick, but i try to use openbsd style
since i like that style. upon further reading
of their style guidelines today, it was revealed
to me that for includes, they:

* sort sys/ includes alphabetically, at the top
* after sys/ includes, have an empty line
* includes for networking-related headers below that
* empty space below networking headers if there
* after that, have the rest of the includes, sorted
  alphabetically

at least, that is my understanding. i have to admit,
it does look cleaner

Leah Rowe 7755f0e0c7 util/nvmutil: minor code size optimisation
not just sloccount, but compiled binary size as
tested with tcc on an x86_64 host

Leah Rowe 34eeca1f03 util/nvmutil: fix possible regression
i went too hard on the sloc reductions

a check inside a for loop could cause
incomplete reading of gbe images

revert that

also removed some unnecessary checks

fixed the check of pwrite's return value
(it should check for -1)

Leah Rowe 8771551162 util/nvmutil: remove duplicated logic
the byteswap() function is used for big endian host
compatibility, but it can also be used to swap words
in the stored mac address

Leah Rowe 0d98d73870 util/nvmutil: serious re-factoring (speed boost!)
word/setWord no longer mitigates endianness. instead,
all bytes are swapped after reading and before writing the
file, and only if the host is big endian

this improves performance on little endian hosts, which is
most machines, and the code is much simpler, so it's more
robust and less likely to break

mac address endianness made more clear in code, including
with a comment that explains it

(the nvm section contains little endian words, *except* the
mac address whose words are stored big endian)

Leah Rowe b0fa54ac41 util/nvmutil: fix faulty zeroes-mac-address check
it was resetting the total for each nibble. absolute
epic fail on my part.

fixed now.

Leah Rowe f9e20b8a1d util/nvmutil: optimise rhex() further
reduce the number of calls to read() by using
bit shifts. when rnum is zero, read again. in
most cases, a nibble will not be zero, so this
will usually result in about 13-15 of of 16
nibbles being used. this is in comparison to
8 nibbles being used before, which means that
the number of calls to read() are roughly
halved. at the same time, the extra amount of
logic is minimal (and probably less) when
compiled, outside of calls to read(), because
shifting is better optimised (on 64-bit machines,
the uint64_t will be shifted with just a single
instruction, if the compiler is decent), whereas
the alternative would be to always precisely use
exactly 16 nibbles by counting up to 16, which
would involve the use of an and mask and still
need a shift, plus...

you get the point. this is probably the most
efficient code ever written, for generating
random numbers between the value of 0 and 15
