Subject: [PATCH v2] Add getrandom syscall wrapper and getentropy function
Date: Sat,  6 Jan 2018 23:08:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180106220809.10078-1-hauke@hauke-m.de> (raw)

This syscall is available since Linux 3.17 and was also implemented in
glibc in version 2.25 using the same interfaces.
The getrandom function is a pure syscall wrapper liker glibc does it.
getentropy is implemented on top of the getrandom syscall and fills the
buffer.

Currently no fallback is implemented this could be possible by using
AT_RANDOM in the future.
