Linux 6.11 supports calling getrandom() from the vDSO. It operates on a
thread-local opaque state allocated with mmap using flags specified by
the vDSO.
Opaque states are allocated in chunks, ideally ncpu at a time as a hint,
rounding up to as many fit in a complete page. On first use, a state is
assigned to an m, which owns that state, until the m exits, at which
point it is given back to the pool.
Performance appears to be quite good:
│ sec/op │ sec/op vs base │
Read/4-16 222.45n ± 3% 27.13n ± 6% -87.80% (p=0.000 n=10)
│ B/s │ B/s vs base │
Read/4-16 17.15Mi ± 3% 140.61Mi ± 6% +719.82% (p=0.000 n=10)
Fixes #69577.
