[PATCH v1 0/2] Fixing RngDxe error for ARM/AARCH64

[PATCH v1 0/2] Fixing RngDxe error for ARM/AARCH64

[Kun Qin]

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4491

On an ARM system that does not support firmware TRNG, the current logic
from RngDxe will cause the system to assert at the below line:
`ASSERT (Index != mAvailableAlgoArrayCount);`

The reason seems to be:
1. When initializing the number of `mAvailableAlgoArrayCount`, the logic
will only treat the zero guid of "PcdCpuRngSupportedAlgorithm" as a
warning and still increment the counter because "RngGetBytes" might still
succeed:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/1a39bdf2c53858ebb39e6de1362203c65c163c63/SecurityPkg/RandomNumberGenerator/RngDxe/AArch64/AArch64Algo.c#L51C3-L51C3.
2. This will cause the main entry to publish the RNG protocol and accept
further usage.
3. However, during usage, the zero guid is always filtered out: 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/1a39bdf2c53858ebb39e6de1362203c65c163c63/SecurityPkg/RandomNumberGenerator/RngDxe/ArmRngDxe.c#L91.
Thus, this will cause the system to always not able to find the algorithm
and fail the boot with an assert.

The suggestion is to at least make the logic of initializing
"mAvailableAlgoArrayCount" consistent and filtering algorithm consistent.

In addition, the usage of `mAvailableAlgoArray` will always trigger a
data abortion error, which is caused by buffer allocated is
`RNG_AVAILABLE_ALGO_MAX` number of bytes, which should be
`RNG_AVAILABLE_ALGO_MAX` nubmer of EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM.

This patch fixed the 2 issues above. The change is verified on QEMU
virtual platform and proprietary physical platform.

[PATCH v1 1/2] SecurityPkg: RngDxe: Unify handling of zero guid

[Kun Qin]

From: Kun Qin <kuqin@microsoft.com>

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4491

The existing logic of initializing `mAvailableAlgoArrayCount` will treat
the zero GUID in `PcdCpuRngSupportedAlgorithm` as a legit case and
increment `mAvailableAlgoArrayCount`, causing the RNG protocol be
published.

However, when the protocol is invoked, any zero GUID will be filtered
out, leaving a possible edge case where the protocol only has a zero GUID
based algorithm and being filtered out will always result in an ASSERT.

This change marked the zero GUID as an issue and will not increment the
counter and thus avoid publishing the protocol completely.

Hi Kun,

Can you look at Pierre's series and see if this issue is resolved, please?

I have also made further suggestions at

[PATCH v1 2/2] SecurityPkg: RngDxe: Fixing mAvailableAlgoArray allocator

[Kun Qin]

From: Kun Qin <kuqin@microsoft.com>

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4491

mAvailableAlgoArray is currently allocated for "RNG_AVAILABLE_ALGO_MAX"
number of bytes, whereas it was dereferenced as "EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM".

This change fixed the buffer allocation logic by allocating a proper size
of buffer before referencing.

Hello Kun,

Thanks for the patch-set, there is another patch-set that also aims to fix the logic at:
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/104341

but I haven't got feedback so far. Would it be possible to try it out to see if
it also solves your issue ?

Regards,
Pierre

Re: [PATCH v1 0/2] Fixing RngDxe error for ARM/AARCH64

[Kun Qin]

Hi Pierre/Sami,

Thanks for the information. I tried the patch set you referred, it seems 
to have resolved
the zero GUID handling issue! So I am okay to drop the commit here:
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/106484

I also have a few questions on the patch set beyond functionality, we 
can discuss it there.

However, this specific patch is still needed to fix the access violation 
issue (thanks for the
reviewed-by tag, Sami):
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/106485

I can send a v2 to reflect the feedback above.

Thanks,
Kun
