Well, it's not that easy on x86 either. Current state of affairs is that the time based LibRng is used, all OvmfPkg / ArmVirtPkg have this: RngLib|MdeModulePkg/Library/BaseRngLibTimerLib/BaseRngLibTimerLib.inf So, this is what will be used if something uses LibRng. On x64 RngDxe will just use call LibRng too. So adding RngDxe will effectively make BaseRngLibTimerLib available via EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL. In case '-device virtio-rng-pci' is present we now have *two* drivers providing EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL. What will happen in this case? What we surely not want is RngDxe being used in case we have a virtio-rng device ... take care, Gerd -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
