Sounds good to me except that I'd like to have the option to get poor randoms. getrandom() is used when /dev/urandom is not accessible or painful to use. Until we provide applications with a solution to this fairly common need, the problem will continue to regularly pop up, in a different way ("my application randomly crashes at boot"). Let's get GRND_INSECURE in addition to your change and I think all needs will be properly covered.
Thanks, Willy
