The "Arm True Random Number Generator Firmware Interface"[1] provides an SMCCC based interface to a true hardware random number generator. So far we are using that in arch_get_random_seed(), but it might be useful to expose the entropy through the /dev/hwrng device as well. This allows to assess the quality of the implementation, by using "rngtest" from the rng-tools package, for example. Add a simple platform driver implementing the hw_random interface. We unconditionally instantiate the platform device in the driver file, then probe for the existence of the SMCCC TRNG implementation in the driver's probe routine. Since the firmware takes care about serialisation, this can happily coexist with the arch_get_random_seed() bits. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@arm.com> [1] https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0098/latest/ --- Hi, as Ard mentioned in some recent thread, we might consider this driver now (which was dismissed when arch_get_random() got SMCCC TRNG support). The device/driver instantiation is not really great, ideally we let some generic SMCCC discovery instantiate the device or trigger the driver probe. Let me know what you think! Btw: this can be easily tested in a KVM guest (on a recent host kernel).
