runtime: use vDSO for getrandom() on linux
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.
