Package: python3.5
Version: 3.5.1-11
Severity: important

I just debugged the adt-virt-qemu failure with python 3.5.1-11 and
tracked it down to python3.5 hanging for a long time when it gets
called before the kernel initializes its RNG (which can take a minute
in VMs which have low entropy sources).

With 3.5.1-10:

  $ strace -e getrandom python3 -c 'True'
  +++ exited with 0 +++

With -11:
  $ strace -e getrandom python3 -c 'True'
  
getrandom("\300\0209\26&v\232\264\325\217\322\303:]\30\212Q\314\244\257t%\206\"",
 24, 0) = 24
  +++ exited with 0 +++

When you do this with -11 right after booting a VM, the getrandom()
can block for a long time, until the kernel initializes its random
pool:

   11:21:36.118034 
getrandom("/V#\200^O*HD+D_\32\345\223M\205a\336/\36x\335\246", 24, 0) = 24
   11:21:57.939999 ioctl(0, TCGETS, 0x7ffde1d152a0) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate 
ioctl for device)

   [    1.549882] [TTM] Initializing DMA pool allocator
   [   39.586483] random: nonblocking pool is initialized

(Note the time stamps in the strace in the first paragraph)

This is really unfriendly -- it essentially means that you stop being
able to use python3 early in the boot process or even early after
booting. It would be better to initialize that random stuff lazily,
until/if things actually need it.

In the diff between -10 and -11 I do seem some getrandom() fixes to
supply the correct buffer size (but that should be irrelevant as in
-10 getrandom() wasn't called in the first place), and a new call
which should apply to Solaris only (#ifdef sun), so it's not entirely
clear where that comes from or how to work around it.

It's very likely that this is the same cause as for #821877, but the
description of that is both completely different and also very vague,
so I file this separately for now.

Closes: 824379
Changes:
 python3.5 (3.5.1-14) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Update to 20160609 from the 3.5 branch.
     - A new version of typing.py provides several new classes and
       features: @overload outside stubs, Reversible, DefaultDict, Text,
       ContextManager, Type[], NewType(), TYPE_CHECKING, and numerous bug
       fixes (note that some of the new features are not yet implemented in
       mypy or other static analyzers).  Also classes for PEP 492
       (Awaitable, AsyncIterable, AsyncIterator) have been added (in fact
       they made it into 3.5.1 but were never mentioned).
     - Issue #25738: Stop http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler.send_error() from
       sending a message body for 205 Reset Content.  Also, don't send Content
       header fields in responses that don't have a body.
     - Issue #21313: Fix the "platform" module to tolerate when sys.version
       contains truncated build information.
     - Issue #26839: On Linux, :func:`os.urandom` now calls ``getrandom()`` with
       ``GRND_NONBLOCK`` to fall back on reading ``/dev/urandom`` if the urandom
       entropy pool is not initialized yet. Closes: #824379.
     - Issue #27164: In the zlib module, allow decompressing raw Deflate streams
       with a predefined zdict.
     - Issue #24291: Fix wsgiref.simple_server.WSGIRequestHandler to completely
       write data to the client.  Previously it could do partial writes and
       truncate data.  Also, wsgiref.handler.ServerHandler can now handle stdout
       doing partial writes, but this is deprecated.
     - Issue #26809: Add ``__all__`` to :mod:`string`.
     - Issue #26373: subprocess.Popen.communicate now correctly ignores
       BrokenPipeError when the child process dies before .communicate()
       is called in more/all circumstances.
     - Issue #24759: Make clear in idlelib.idle_test.__init__ that the directory
       is a private implementation of test.test_idle and tool for maintainers.
     - Issue #27196: Stop 'ThemeChanged' warnings when running IDLE tests.
       These persisted after other warnings were suppressed in #20567.
     - Issue #20567: Revise idle_test/README.txt with advice about avoiding
       tk warning messages from tests.  Apply advice to several IDLE tests.
     - Issue #26884: Fix linking extension modules for cross builds.
     - Issue #26014: Update 3.x packaging documentation:
       * "See also" links to the new docs are now provided in the legacy pages
       * links to setuptools documentation have been updated
     - Issue #27229: Fix the cross-compiling pgen rule for in-tree builds.
   * Don't run multiprocessing tests during the profiling build.
