[$] Another try for getrandom() in the vDSO
jeudi 4 juillet 2024, 18:30 , par LWN.net
Random numbers, it seems, can never be random enough, and they cannot be
generated quickly enough. The kernel's getrandom() system call might, after years of discussion, be seen as sufficiently secure by most users, but it is still a system call. Linux system calls are relatively fast, but they are necessarily slower than calling a function directly. In an attempt to speed the provision of secure random data to user space, Jason Donenfeld has put together an implementation of getrandom() that lives in the virtual dynamic shared object (vDSO) area.
