* [rng] Use fixed-point calculations for min-entropy quantitiesMichael Brown2018-03-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently perform various min-entropy calculations using build-time floating-point arithmetic. No floating-point code ends up in the final binary, since the results are eventually converted to integers and asserted to be compile-time constants. Though this mechanism is undoubtedly cute, it inhibits us from using "-mno-sse" to prevent the use of SSE registers by the compiler. Fix by using fixed-point arithmetic instead.

* [rng] Add ANS X9.82 Approved Source of Entropy InputMichael Brown2012-02-211-0/+51
ANS X9.82 specifies several Approved Sources of Entropy Input (SEI). One such SEI uses an entropy source as the Source of Entropy Input, condensing each entropy source output after each GetEntropy call. This can be implemented relatively cheaply in iPXE and avoids the need to allocate potentially very large buffers. (Note that the terms "entropy source" and "Source of Entropy Input" are not synonyms within the context of ANS X9.82.) Use the iPXE API mechanism to allow entropy sources to be selected at compilation time. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
