    Subject[PATCH] ELF: implement AT_RANDOM for future glibc use
    While discussing[1] the need for glibc to have access to random bytes
    during program load, it seems that an earlier attempt to implement
    AT_RANDOM got stalled. This implements a configurable number of random
    bytes, as a multiple of userspace pointer size, available to every ELF
    program via a new auxv AT_RANDOM vector.
