Subject: RFC: Adding support for ARM (RNDR etc.) to RngDxe
Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2020 21:32:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <70a4f9e7-952c-cf05-bca7-009ee5b2cd3f@nuviainc.com> (raw)
Currently, RngDxe in SecurityPkg only supports Intel, with RdRand support.
This RFC is to start a discussion about adding support for ARM.
I have a Git branch with support for the optional ARMv8.5 RNDR
instruction at https://github.com/bcran/edk2/commits/bcran-rndr which
moves the existing Intel support into a Rand directory, and adds code to
support RNDR in a new AArch64 directory.
There are other RNG implementations available for ARM, including
platform-specific approaches on Graviton
(https://lwn.net/Articles/790304/) and other platforms, so a more
thorough rearchitecting/redesign may be desired.
