Bugzilla: 3668 (https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3668)
The Arm True Random Number Generator Firmware, Interface 1.0,
Platform Design Document
(https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0098/latest/)
defines an interface between an Operating System (OS) executing
at EL1 and Firmware (FW) exposing a conditioned entropy source
that is provided by a TRNG back end.
The conditioned entropy, that is provided by the TRNG FW interface,
is commonly used to seed deterministic random number generators.
This patch adds a TrngLib library that implements the Arm TRNG
firmware interface.

Notes:
v2:
- MdePkg\Include\Library\TrngLib.h is base type [LIMING]
library. It can use RETURN_STATUS instead of
EFI_STATUS.
- Replaced EFI_STATUS with RETURN_STATUS. [SAMI]
- MdePkg\Include\Library\TrngLib.h API parameter [LIMING]
doesn't require CONST. CONST means the value
specified by the input pointer will not be
changed in API implementation.
- Removed the use of constant pointers in the [SAMI]
TRNG API.

Should this be in (a potentially renamed) ArmSmcLib?
[SAMI] Looking at ArmSmcLib and ArmHvcLib libraries there is not much
difference in the code other than the SMC/HVC call. Please let me know
if I should submit a patch to unify these in ArmMonitorLib?
The ArmCall<Smc|Hvc> APIs would still remain the same but moved to
ArmMonitorLib.
Hello Leif,
About your comment, I am not sure I understand it correctly. Assuming the
function allowing to choose the conduit looks like:
VOID
EFIAPI
ArmConduitCall (UINT8 Conduit) {
if (Conduit == 0) {
ArmCallHvc ((ARM_HVC_ARGS*)Args);
} else if (Conduit == 1) {
ArmCallSmc ((ARM_SMC_ARGS*)Args);
} else {
ASSERT (FALSE);
}
}
Do you suggest to:
1. Make ArmSmcLib dependent on ArmHvcLib and add ArmConduitCall()
in ArmSmcLib (or do the opposite with the ArmHvcLib)
2. Merge ArmSmcLib and ArmHvcLib in a new ArmConduitLibrary and add
ArmConduitCall() in this new library.
3. Add an ArmConduitLibrary, relying on ArmSmcLib and ArmHvcLib, and having
only one function: ArmConduitCall()
2. would make the Hvc and Smc calls really tied together.
3. would avoid creating new dependencies on existing libraries (i.e. a
platform only using the ArmSmcLib would not require to have a NULL instance of
ArmHvcLib). I assume you meant 3.
Regards,
Pierre
