[BlueZ V2 PATCH 0/5] Replace random number generation function

[BlueZ V2 PATCH 0/5] Replace random number generation function

[Tedd Ho-Jeong An]

From: Tedd Ho-Jeong An <tedd.an@intel.com>

The Coverity scan reported (CWE-676):
  rand() should not be used for security-related applications, because
  linear congruential algorithms are too easy to break.

This series of patch replaces the standard random number generation
function, rand(), to getrandom() syscall, which provides more secure
random number than the standard rand() function.

Tedd Ho-Jeong An (5):
  emulator: Replace random number generation function
  peripheral: Replace random number generation function
  tools/btgatt-server: Replace random number generation function
  plugins: Replace random number generation function
  profiles/health: Replace random number generation function
