The ARM architected TRNG firmware interface, described in ARM spec DEN0098, defines an ARM SMCCC based interface to a true random number generator, provided by firmware. This can be discovered via the SMCCC >=v1.1 interface, and provides up to 192 bits of entropy per call. Hook this SMC call into arm64's arch_get_random_*() implementation, coming to the rescue when the CPU does not implement the ARM v8.5 RNG system registers. For the detection, we piggy back on the PSCI/SMCCC discovery (which gives us the conduit to use (hvc/smc)), then try to call the ARM_SMCCC_TRNG_VERSION function, which returns -1 if this interface is not implemented.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
