/* Regarding Linux getrandom/urandom:
 *
 * For maximum security guarantee, we *only*
 * use getrandom via syscall, or /dev/urandom;
 * use of urandom is ill advised. This is why
 * we use the syscall, in case the libc version
 * of getrandom() might defer to /dev/urandom
 *
 * We *abort* on error, for both /dev/urandom
 * and getrandom(), because the BSD arc4random
 * never returns with error; therefore, for the
 * most parity in terms of behaviour, we abort,
 * because otherwise the function would have two
 * return modes: always successful (BSD), or only
 * sometimes (Linux). The BSD arc4random could
 * theoretically abort; it is extremely unlikely
 * there, and just so on Linux, hence this design.
 *
 * This is important, because cryptographic code
 * for example must not rely on weak randomness.
 * We must therefore treat broken randomness as
 * though the world is broken, and burn accordingly.
 *
 * Similarly, any invalid input (NULL, zero bytes
 * requested) are treated as fatal errors; again,
 * cryptographic code must be reliable. If your
 * code erroneously requested zero bytes, you might
 * then end up with a non-randomised buffer, where
 * you likely intended otherwise.
 *
 * In other words: call rset() correctly, or your
 * program dies, and rset will behave correctly,
 * or your program dies.
