Revert "Revert "Fetch entropy from a system daemon in FIPS mode on Android."" This reverts commit 8ce0e1c14e48109773f1e94e5f8b020aa1e24dc5. The original commit didn't work on Android because: a) urandom_test didn't handle the fact that Android requires getrandom() and will never fall back to /dev/urandom. b) Android may open files in /dev/__properties__ which confused urandom_test. The original change is patchset 1 so the differences build on that.

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.
Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.
Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.
BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.
Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
