v1:
- https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/96356
v2:
- https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/96434
- Reformulate commit message.
- Do not warn if no algorithm is found as the message
would be printed on non-Arm platforms.
v3:
- Add the following patches:
1. ArmPkg/ArmTrngLib: Remove ASSERTs in ArmTrngLibConstructor()
Requested by Ard.
Cf https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/96495
2. SecurityPkg/RngDxe: Conditionally install EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL
Do not install EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL if no RNG algorithm is available.
Cf. https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/96494
3. SecurityPkg/RngDxe: Fix Rng algo selection for Arm
Coming from v2 patch being split.
Some issues were found by Ard/Sami on the RngDxe/ArmTrngLib after
recent patches were merged. This patch serie intends to fix them.

The problem with returning an error code from a library constructor is that it generates an ASSERT for debug builds. The reason is that the generated code in AutoGen.c looks as shown below:
VOID
EFIAPI
ProcessLibraryConstructorList (
IN EFI_HANDLE ImageHandle,
IN EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *SystemTable
)
{
EFI_STATUS Status;
Status = HobLibConstructor (ImageHandle, SystemTable);
ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status);
...
Status = ArmTrngLibConstructor ();
ASSERT_RETURN_ERROR (Status);
}

Apologies, I accidentally sent the message before I finished. The remaining part of my reply is as below. I think having the asserts in ProcessLibraryConstructorList() creates more problem. It is very hard to debug issues if the serial port initialisation fails. Regards, Sami Mujawar -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Can't we just > return an error from the library constructor of the library cannot > initialize due to a missing prerequisite? In RngDriverEntry(), GetAvailableAlgorithms() probe the available RNG algorithms. If there are none, then we return an error code. Otherwise we install EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL. I assume the prerequisite you a referring to is 'checking there is at least one available RNG algorithm that RngDxe can use', so if ArmTrngLib's constructor fails, we should not prevent RngDxe to be loaded (as the RngLib could be used for instance). Does it answer your question, or did I understand it incorrectly ?
