[libvirt] [PATCH 4/4] Replace hashing algorithm with murmurhash

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange at redhat.com>

Recent discussions have illustrated the potential for DOS attacks
with the hash table implementations used by most languages and
libraries.

   https://lwn.net/Articles/474912/

libvirt has an internal hash table impl, and uses hash tables for
a variety of purposes. The hash key generation code is pretty
simple and thus not strongly collision resistant.

This patch replaces the current libvirt hash key generator with
the (public domain) Murmurhash3 code. In addition every hash
table now gets a random seed value which is used to perturb the
hashing code. This should make it impossible to mount any
practical attack against libvirt hashing code.

* bootstrap.conf: Import bitrotate module
* src/Makefile.am: Add virhashcode.[ch]
* src/util/util.c: Make virRandom() return a fixed 32 bit
  integer value.
* src/util/hash.c, src/util/hash.h, src/util/cgroup.c: Replace
  hash code generation with a call to virHashCodeGen()
* src/util/virhashcode.h, src/util/virhashcode.c: Add a new
  virHashCodeGen() API using the Murmurhash3 algorithm.
