PS4 titles ship sce_sys/param.sfo instead of param.json. When param.json
is absent, the application metadata now reads the title, title ID,
download data size and user defined parameters from param.sfo, and
/data and /download0 are mounted for it as for param.json. param.json
is still preferred when both files exist.
std::random_device in libstdc++ reads RDSEED on x86 Linux. On an AMD
EPYC 9V45 (Zen 5) CI runner its 32-bit results repeat about 130 times
in 65536 draws, so guest_posix_random fails. libc now exports
HostEntropy_nid_no_patch, which uses getentropy (rand_s on Windows) and
throws when the OS cannot provide entropy. arc4random, arc4random_buf,
sceRandomGetRandomNumber, /dev/random and /dev/urandom reads,
std::_Random_device and sceKernelUuidCreate use it, and the arc4random
and random device TechnicalDebt entries say so.

The title id now comes from GetAppTitleId, so param.json has one parser and
its validation (a missing file or titleId throws). Another pid returns EPERM
and a null info returns 0 without writing, as shadPS4 does. app_id stays 1,
the running title's id in libSceSystemService, which is inferred, not
measured.
guest_app_info runs the call without param.json in a child process and
checks that the field between app_id and the title id is left alone.

sceKernelGetAppInfo fills the app id and the title id of the calling
process: app id 1, the running title's id in libSceSystemService, and the
titleId of /app0/sce_sys/param.json at offset 0x10, up to 9 characters and a
terminator. Only those fields are written, since callers declare the
structure with different sizes. Another pid returns ESRCH and a null info
EFAULT.
