This patch resolves a compatibility issue when compiled against glibc 2.25 and run runder kernels < 3.17: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1410175 Upstream bug URL: https://bugs.python.org/issue29157 Patch copied from upstream source repository: https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/8125d9a8152b # HG changeset patch # User Victor Stinner # Date 1483957133 -3600 # Node ID 8125d9a8152b79e712cb09c7094b9129b9bcea86 # Parent 337461574c90281630751b6095c4e1baf380cf7d Issue #29157: Prefer getrandom() over getentropy() Copy and then adapt Python/random.c from default branch. Difference between 3.5 and default branches: * Python 3.5 only uses getrandom() in non-blocking mode: flags=GRND_NONBLOCK * If getrandom() fails with EAGAIN: py_getrandom() immediately fails and remembers that getrandom() doesn't work. * Python 3.5 has no _PyOS_URandomNonblock() function: _PyOS_URandom() works in non-blocking mode on Python 3.5 diff --git a/Python/random.c b/Python/random.c --- Python/random.c +++ Python/random.c @@ -1,6 +1,9 @@ #include "Python.h" #ifdef MS_WINDOWS # include +/* All sample MSDN wincrypt programs include the header below.
