[issue22181] os.urandom() should use Linux 3.17 getrandom() syscall

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

The Linux kernel 3.17 has been released with the new getrandom() syscall.

glibc request to implement the function in the C library:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17252
"Bug 17252 - getrandom and getentropy syscall"

It looks like nobody asks for it on the libc-alpha mailing list yet.
