On QNAP's Linux Station (lxc based virtual environment), getrandom() syscall returns EPERM not ENOSYS when it's not available.

long n = syscall(SYS_getrandom, buffer, sizeof(buffer), flags);
printf("SYS_getrandom: %ld (%d)\n", n, errno);
=>
SYS_getrandom: -1 (1)
Proper fall back to /dev/urandom is not happening in this case, so most python app calling getrandom function fails. This includes apt, command-not-found etc. |
