If you're on MIPS, x86 code and syscall numbers won't help you. In this
case the proper syscall numbers are defined in
arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h.

Additionally, note that your kernel version does not seem to implement
the getrandom syscall for MIPS:

 $ git blame arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h | grep getrandom
 42944521 (Ralf Baechle  2014-08-26 03:03:40 +0200  376) #define
__NR_getrandom			(__NR_Linux + 353)
 42944521 (Ralf Baechle  2014-08-26 03:03:40 +0200  716) #define
__NR_getrandom			(__NR_Linux + 313)
