From bae2d6203fca3ecaaf9fbc7cee84ad83ddf52dc5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Victor Stinner Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2015 09:47:30 +0200 Subject: 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. --- Python/random.c | 49 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) (limited to 'Python/random.c') diff --git a/Python/random.c b/Python/random.c index ea09e84a7b0..1d57b1b6621 100644 --- a/Python/random.c +++ b/Python/random.c @@ -6,7 +6,9 @@ # ifdef HAVE_SYS_STAT_H # include # endif -# ifdef HAVE_GETRANDOM_SYSCALL +# ifdef HAVE_GETRANDOM +# include +# elif defined(HAVE_GETRANDOM_SYSCALL) # include # endif #endif @@ -70,7 +72,9 @@ win32_urandom(unsigned char *buffer, Py_ssize_t size, int raise) return 0; } -#elif HAVE_GETENTROPY +#elif defined(HAVE_GETENTROPY) && !defined(sun) +#define PY_GETENTROPY 1 + /* Fill buffer with size pseudo-random bytes generated by getentropy().
