G.2 (v2.0.0): unified rng_get_bytes() entropy entry point; virtio-rng sole backend
The QEMU-verifiable slice of the real-hardware RNG driver (per FABRIC-3.md §G.2). New include/starkernel/rng.h + src/starkernel/rng/rng.c provide the single entropy entry point: rng_init() probes the backend set (v2.0.0: virtio-rng only) and, on no backend, prints a loud boot-time warning while rng_get_bytes() returns RNG_ERR_NO_BACKEND - never silently degrading to a deterministic seed. The backend-selection switch in rng.c is the exact seam v2.5.0's per-arch drivers (amd64 RDRAND, riscv64 Zkr, aarch64 peripheral) plug into without touching the call path. Consumers route through the unified layer instead of virtio-rng directly: capsule_mint.c (identity seed + drive_uuid) and kernel_main.c phase 8 (rng_init()). virtio_rng.c stays as the sole backend. Built clean on amd64/aarch64/riscv64. QEMU amd64 boot: POST 1012/0/0 + ok>, "rng: backend = virtio-rng" + "entropy: ready", Zuse identity confirmed from thumbdrive - mint/cert behavior unchanged. FABRIC-3.md §G.2 v2.0.0 slice marked BUILT+VERIFIED.

/*
|
||||
* rng.h — Unified entropy entry point for StarKernel
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The single place any kernel consumer (keygen, identity mint, drive_uuid,
|
||||
* certificate serials, ...) asks for entropy. All entropy flows through
|
||||
* rng_get_bytes() and never touches a backend directly.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The set of active backends is determined at rng_init() time by probing,
|
||||
* in order, until one (or more) come up:
|
||||
* - v2.0.0 (QEMU): virtio-rng is the sole backend — there is no virtio-rng
|
||||
* on real hardware, but QEMU exposes it uniformly on all three arches
|
||||
* (amd64/aarch64/riscv64), and the paravirtualized device sidesteps the
|
||||
* per-ISA gap where no single CPU RNG covers all three models (amd64 has
|
||||
* RDRAND, riscv64 has Zkr, but QEMU's aarch64 CPU models expose neither —
|
||||
* see virtio_rng.h / vm_uuid.h for the identical finding).
|
||||
* - v2.5.0 (real hardware): real per-arch backends are inserted here without
|
||||
* touching the call path — amd64 RDRAND, riscv64 Zkr (RNDR), aarch64
|
||||
* peripheral RNG — each handled by a case in rng_init() and rng_get_bytes()
|
||||
* (grid §G.4). On QEMU all three arches stay on virtio-rng; nothing changes.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Probe-and-refuse-loudly contract (§G.2): if no backend comes up at
|
||||
* rng_init(), the kernel prints a loud boot-time message. A later
|
||||
* rng_get_bytes() call with no backend returns -1 (RNG_ERR_NO_BACKEND) rather
|
||||
* than ever silently degrading to a deterministic throwaway — the exact failure
|
||||
* Phases A/G call out as unacceptable. Callers (e.g. capsule_mint_identity)
|
||||
* must surface that refusal as an explicit no-entropy error, never proceed with
|
||||
* a deterministic seed.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Important ordering: rng_init() must run before any rng_get_bytes()/mint call
|
||||
* (it already does in kernel_main phase 8, ahead of Zuse boot attach, which is
|
||||
* the only mint path in v2.0.0). rng_get_bytes() with rng_init() never
|
||||
* successful returns RNG_ERR_NO_BACKEND, never blocks.
