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.
