Subject: [PATCH] Don't use getentropy() on Linux
|
|
|
|
Issue #29188: Support glibc 2.24 on Linux: don't use getentropy() function but
|
|
read from /dev/urandom to get random bytes, for example in os.urandom(). On
|
|
Linux, getentropy() is implemented which getrandom() is blocking mode, whereas
|
|
os.urandom() should not block.
