fuse.4: New page describing /dev/fuse
...
This is my writeup of a basic description of /dev/fuse after
playing with it for a few hours today. It is of course woefully
incomplete, and since I neither have a use case nor am working
on this code, I will not be in a position to expand it in the
near future. However, I'm hoping this could still serve as a
handy reference for others looking at this interface.

getrandom.2, random.4: Consolidate and improve discussion on usage of randomness
...
Currently, recommendations on how to consume randomness are
spread across both getrandom(2) and random(4) and the general
opinion seems to be that the text in getrandom(2) does a
somewhat better job. Consolidate the discussion to a single
page (getrandom(2)) and address some of the concerns
expressed about the existing text in random(4).

random.4: Improve discussion of /dev/urandom, blocking reads, and signals
...
The text currently states that O_NONBLOCK has no effect for
/dev/urandom, which is true. It also says that reads from
/dev/urandom are nonblocking. This is at the least confusing.
If one attempts large reads (say 10MB) from /dev/urandom
there is an appreciable delay, and interruption by a signal
handler will result in a short read. Amend the text to
reflect this.

random.4: Provide a more accurate description of /dev/urandom
...
This documents the "property" of /dev/urandom of being able to
serve numbers prior to pool being initialized, and removes any
suggested usages of /dev/random which are disputable
(i.e., one-time pad). Document the fact /dev/random is only
suitable for applications which can afford indeterminate delays
since very few applications can do so. Smooth the alarming
language about a theoretical attack, and mention that its
security depends on the cryptographic primitives used by the
kernel, as well as the total entropy gathered.
