cmd: rng: Use a statically allocated array for random bytes

2022-08-02T20:50:02Z

Use a statically allocated buffer on stack instead of using malloc for reading the random bytes. Using a local array is faster than allocating heap memory on every initiation of the command.

cmd: rng: Add support for selecting RNG device

2022-08-02T20:50:02Z

The 'rng' u-boot command is used for printing a select number of random bytes on the console. Currently, the RNG device from which the random bytes are read is fixed. However, a platform can have multiple RNG devices, one example being qemu, which has a virtio RNG device and the RNG pseudo device through the TPM chip. Extend the 'rng' command so that the user can provide the RNG device number from which the random bytes are to be read. This will be the device index under the RNG uclass.

global: Convert simple_strtoul() with hex to hextoul()

2021-08-02T17:32:14Z

It is a pain to have to specify the value 16 in each call. Add a new hextoul() function and update the code to use it. Add a proper comment to simple_strtoul() while we are here. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

command: Remove the cmd_tbl_t typedef

2020-05-18T22:36:55Z

We should not use typedefs in U-Boot. They cannot be used as forward declarations which means that header files must include the full header to access them. Drop the typedef and rename the struct to remove the _s suffix which is now not useful. This requires quite a few header-file additions. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

dm: core: Create a new header file for 'compat' features

2020-02-06T02:33:46Z

At present dm/device.h includes the linux-compatible features. This requires including linux/compat.h which in turn includes a lot of headers. One of these is malloc.h which we thus end up including in every file in U-Boot. Apart from the inefficiency of this, it is problematic for sandbox which needs to use the system malloc() in some files. Move the compatibility features into a separate header file.

cmd: add rng command

2020-01-07T17:08:21Z

For the RNG uclass we currently only have a test working on the sandbox. Provide a command to test the hardware random number generator on non-sandbox systems. Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt
