[PATCH COMMITTED] Fix the return type of the getentropy stub
- From: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien at aurel32 dot net>
- To: libc-alpha at sourceware dot org

- Subject: [PATCH COMMITTED] Fix the return type of the getentropy stub
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
The return type of the getentropy stub is wrongly defined as ssize_t,
while both the <sys/random.h> header and the Linux implementation
define it as int. This patch fixes that.
Changelog:
* stdlib/getentropy.c (getentropy): Change return type to int.
