Subject: [PATCH] seedrng: fix getrandom() detection for non-glibc libc
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

glibc <= 2.24 does not provide getrandom(). A check for it has been
added in 200a9669fbf6f06894e4243cccc9fc11a1a6073a and fixed in
cb57abb46f06f4ede8d9ccbdaac67377fdf416cf.

However, building with a libc other than glibc can lead to the same
problem as not every other libc has getrandom() either:

- uClibc provides it from v1.0.2 onwards, but requires to define
_GNU_SOURCE (all versions - we already define it by default), and
stddef to be included first (when using uClibc < 1.0.35 - we already
include it through libbb.h).

- musl libc has getrandom(), but only from version 1.1.20 onwards. As
musl does not provide __MUSL__ or version information, it's not
possible to check for it like we did for glibc.

All of this makes it difficult (or impossible in case of musl) to
check what we need to do to have getrandom() based on each libc
versions.

On top of that, getrandom() is also not available on older kernels. As
an example, when using a 3.10 kernel with uClibc 1.0.26, getrandom()
is declared so compiling works, but it fails at link time because
getrandom() is not defined.

To make it easier, take a similar approach to what was done for the
crypt library: try to build a sample program to see if we have
getrandom(). To keep it compatible with different versions of
make (for reference see [1]), a variable for '#' is also introduced.

Based on the new Makefile variable, we now either use the
libc-provided getrandom() when it's available, or use our own
implementation when it's not (like it was the case already for glibc <
2.25).

This should fix compiling with many libc/kernel combinations.
