support sntrup761x25519-sha512 alias
OpenSSH 9.8 supports the sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com
key agreement algorithm. As part of standardisation, this algorithm
has been assigned the name sntrup761x25519-sha512.
This commit enables the existing algorithm under this new name.

Fix detection of setres*id on GNU/Hurd
Like Linux, proper _SOURCE macros need to be set to get declarations of
various standard functions, notably setres*id. Now that Debian is using
-Werror=implicit-function-declaration this is really required. While at
it, define other _SOURCE macros like on GNU/Linux, since GNU/Hurd uses
the same glibc.
upstream: when sending ObscureKeystrokeTiming chaff packets, we
can't rely on channel_did_enqueue to tell that there is data to send. This
flag indicates that the channels code enqueued a packet on _this_ ppoll()
iteration, not that data was enqueued in _any_ ppoll() iteration in the
timeslice. ok markus@
upstream: Instead of using possibly complex ssh_signal(), write all
the parts of the grace_alarm_handler() using the exact things allowed by the
signal-safe rules. This is a good rule of thumb: Handlers should be written
to either set a global volatile sig_atomic_t inspected from outside, and/or
directly perform only safe operations listed in our sigaction(2) manual page.

upstream: Work around dbclient cipher/mac query bug.
Unlike earlier versions, recent Dropbear (at least v2024.85) requires
a host arg when querying supported ciphers and macs via "-c/-m
help". Earlier versions accept but do not require it, so always
provide it. If these queries fail, skip the test with a warning.

v2024.85) "-m help" doesn't seem to work. Enable all supported pubkey
algorithms in the server.

Restart sshd after installing it for testing.
When installing an sshd built without OpenSSL the mismatch between
the running sshd and newly installed sshd-session will cause the

propagate PAM crashes to PerSourcePenalties
If the PAM subprocess crashes, exit with a crash status that will be
picked up by the sshd(8) listener process where it can be used by
PerSourcePenalties to block the client. This is similar handling to
the privsep preauth process.

sshd: don't use argv[0] as PAM service name
sshd would implicitly use argv[0] as the PAM service name to
allow people to select different PAM service names by making
differently-named copies/links to the sshd binary.
Splitting sshd into sshd/sshd-session broke this, as the process
that starts PAM is always sshd-session and the user has no control
over this.
Hardcode "sshd" as the default PAM service name unless/until we
figure out a better way. Should unbreak OSX integration tests.

We plan to check in automatically generated files (config.h.in, etc) on

this shuffles the contents of this file to make it easy to un-ignore

fix PTY allocation on Cygwin, broken by sshd split
Cygwin doesn't support FD passing and so used to disable post-auth
privilege separation entirely because privsep requires PTY allocation
to happen in the privileged monitor process with the PTY file
descriptors being passed back to the unprivileged process.
This brings back a minimal version of the previous special treatment
for Cygwin (and any other platform that sets DISABLE_FD_PASSING):
privilege separation remains enabled, but PTY allocation happens in
the post-auth user process rather than the monitor.
This either requires PTY allocation to not need privilege to begin
with (this appears to be the case on Cygwin), or the post-auth
privsep process retain privilege (other platforms that set the
DISABLE_FD_PASSING option).
Keeping privileges here is bad, but the non-Cygwin systems that set
DISABLE_FD_PASSING are so deeply legacy that this is likely to be the
least of their problems.

upstream: Add a facility to sshd(8) to penalise particular
problematic client behaviours, controlled by two new sshd_config(5) options:
PerSourcePenalties and PerSourcePenaltyExemptList.
When PerSourcePenalties are enabled, sshd(8) will monitor the exit
status of its child pre-auth session processes. Through the exit
status, it can observe situations where the session did not
authenticate as expected. These conditions include when the client
repeatedly attempted authentication unsucessfully (possibly indicating
an attack against one or more accounts, e.g. password guessing), or
when client behaviour caused sshd to crash (possibly indicating
attempts to exploit sshd).
When such a condition is observed, sshd will record a penalty of some
duration (e.g. 30 seconds) against the client's address. If this time
is above a minimum threshold specified by the PerSourcePenalties, then
connections from the client address will be refused (along with any
others in the same PerSourceNetBlockSize CIDR range).
Repeated offenses by the same client address will accrue greater
penalties, up to a configurable maximum. A PerSourcePenaltyExemptList
option allows certain address ranges to be exempt from all penalties.
We hope these options will make it significantly more difficult for
attackers to find accounts with weak/guessable passwords or exploit
bugs in sshd(8) itself.
PerSourcePenalties is off by default, but we expect to enable it
automatically in the near future.
