/dev/random Is More Like /dev/urandom With Linux 5.6

The random changes have been sent in for Linux 5.6 that yield /dev/random behavioral changes and a new random flag.

First up, with Linux 5.6 /dev/random behaves more like /dev/urandom now for polling RNG data in user-space. The changed behavior causes /dev/random to behave the same as /dev/urandom except for reads being blocked until the CRNG (the Linux cryptographic-strength random number generator) is ready. Meanwhile /dev/urandom will continue to serve its best data but never block. This /dev/random change allows the random's blocking pool to be removed and in turn clean-up the Linux random code in the process.

Linux 5.6 also brings the new insecure "GRND_INSECURE" flag for getentropy(). This new flag can be used for requesting the best random output it can even if it's not meeting cryptographically random strength.
