Golang Now Enables Speedier getrandom() On Linux

([Programming] 5 Hours Ago Golang + getrandom vDSO)


The Linux 6.11 kernel introduced [1]getrandom() in the vDSO for [2]faster yet secure user-space random number generation needs . In addition to patches pending for [3]Glibc to make use of getrandom() vDSO support , Golang is now another early user of this functionality.

Golang has merged support for using the vDSO for getrandom() on Linux when running on a supported kernel version and architecture. Open-source developer Jason Donenfeld who pursued the getrandom() vDSO support also worked on [4]the Golang runtime support and the follow-up [5]patch for using vDSO for getrandom() on Linux.

Indeed the noted performance gains are there for using vDSO for getrandom():

V1tol

The Lord and I are in a sheep-shepherd relationship, and I am in
a position of negative need.
He prostrates me in a green-belt grazing area.
He conducts me directionally parallel to non-torrential aqueous
liquid.
He returns to original satisfaction levels my psychological makeup.
He switches me on to a positive behavioral format for maximal
prestige of His identity.
It should indeed be said that notwithstanding the fact that I make
ambulatory progress through the umbragious inter-hill mortality slot, terror
sensations will no be initiated in me, due to para-etical phenomena.
Your pastoral walking aid and quadrupic pickup unit introduce me
into a pleasurific mood state.
You design and produce a nutriment-bearing furniture-type structure
in the context of non-cooperative elements.
You act out a head-related folk ritual employing vegetable extract.
My beverage utensil experiences a volume crisis.
It is an ongoing deductible fact that your inter-relational
empathetical and non-ventious capabilities will retain me as their
target-focus for the duration of my non-death period, and I will possess
tenant rights in the housing unit of the Lord on a permanent, open-ended
time basis.
