Here is a possible patch for 3.5+ based on my modest understanding of the concerns about insecure results and blocking. I hope that my wording is clear, couldn’t be confused with Linux’s /dev/random blocking and running out of fresh entropy, etc.
I also tried to make it clearer what APIs are used in what circumstances. It is not just Linux: we also call getrandom() on Solaris, because its getentropy() is not good enough. |
