ec721f3305 py_getrandom(): use long type for the syscall() result
Issue #27278. It should fix a conversion warning.

In practice, the Linux kernel doesn't return more than 32 MB per call to the
getrandom() syscall.

c72828ba33 cleanup random.c
Casting Py_ssize_t to Py_ssize_t is useless.

b98a36e8f3 Fix os.urandom() using getrandom() on Linux
Issue #27278: Fix os.urandom() implementation using getrandom() on Linux.
Truncate size to INT_MAX and loop until we collected enough random bytes,
instead of casting a directly Py_ssize_t to int.

cfb1961f61 py_getrandom(): use char* instead of void* for the destination

dddf4849ec os.urandom() doesn't block on Linux anymore
Issue #26839: On Linux, os.urandom() now calls getrandom() with GRND_NONBLOCK
to fall back on reading /dev/urandom if the urandom entropy pool is not
initialized yet. Patch written by Colm Buckley.

Issue #26735: Fix os.urandom() on Solaris 11.3 and newer when reading more than
1,024 bytes: call getrandom() multiple times with a limit of 1024 bytes per
call.

78cc2e8968 Issue #25003: os.urandom() doesn't use getentropy() on Solaris because
getentropy() is blocking, whereas os.urandom() should not block. getentropy()
is supported since Solaris 11.3.

bae2d6203f Issue #25003: On Solaris 11.3 or newer, os.urandom() now uses the getrandom()
function instead of the getentropy() function. The getentropy() function is
blocking to generate very good quality entropy, os.urandom() doesn't need such
high-quality entropy.

61d5aab9b9 py_getrandom(): getrandom() *can* return EINTR
See the latest version of getrandom() manual page:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html#NOTES

    The behavior when a call to getrandom() that is blocked while reading from
    /dev/urandom is interrupted by a signal handler depends on the
    initialization state of the entropy buffer and on the request size, buflen.
    If the entropy is not yet initialized, then the call will fail with the
    EINTR error.  If the entropy pool has been initialized and the request size
    is large (buflen > 256), the call either succeeds, returning a partially
    filled buffer, or fails with the error EINTR.  If the entropy pool has been
    initialized and the request size is small (buflen <= 256), then getrandom()
    will not fail with EINTR.  Instead, it will return all of the bytes that
    have been requested.

Note: py_getrandom() calls getrandom() with flags=0.
