Victor Stinner 61d5aab9b9 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.

Victor Stinner e134a7fe36 Issue #23752: _Py_fstat() is now responsible to raise the Python exception
Add _Py_fstat_noraise() function when a Python exception is not welcome.

Victor Stinner c9382eb7ae Issue #23707: On UNIX, os.urandom() now calls the Python signal handler when
read() is interrupted by a signal.

dev_urandom_python() now calls _Py_read() helper instead of calling directly
read().

Victor Stinner 9eb57c5fa5 Issue #22181: The availability of the getrandom() is now checked in configure,
and stored in pyconfig.h as the new HAVE_GETRANDOM_SYSCALL define.

Fix os.urandom() tests using file descriptors if os.urandom() uses getrandom().

Victor Stinner 59f7fb29ec Issue #22181: On Linux, os.urandom() now uses the new getrandom() syscall if
available, syscall introduced in the Linux kernel 3.17. It is more reliable
and more secure, because it avoids the need of a file descriptor and waits
until the kernel has enough entropy.

Victor Stinner a555cfcb73 Issue #23694: Enhance _Py_open(), it now raises exceptions
* _Py_open() now raises exceptions on error. If open() fails, it raises an
  OSError with the filename.
* _Py_open() now releases the GIL while calling open()
* Add _Py_open_noraise() when _Py_open() cannot be used because the GIL is not
  held

Steve Dower f2f373f593 Issue #23152: Implement _Py_fstat() to support files larger than 2 GB on Windows.
fstat() may fail with EOVERFLOW on files larger than 2 GB because the file size type is an signed 32-bit integer.

Martin v. Löwis 3f50bf652b Drop support for Windows 2000; allow any XP API (but not Vista+).
Drop SDK version configuration for Tk compilation, to not bind it to W2k
anymore. Binding it to XP would conflict with Tk's own binding of tkMenu to W2k.

Georg Brandl 2daf6ae249 Issue #13703: add a way to randomize the hash values of basic types (str, bytes, datetime)

The environment variable PYTHONHASHSEED and the new command line flag -R control this
behavior.
