[PATCH] hwrng: Add Arm SMCCC TRNG based driver

From: Andre Przywara
Date: Fri Jun 04 2021 - 13:02:29 EST


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.

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).

Cheers,
Andre
