Tangent: I asked aloud on Twitter last night if anyone had exploited
Rowhammer-like effects to generate entropy...and sure enough, the usual
suspects have: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.04286.pdf
While this requires low level access to a memory controller, it's
perhaps an example of something a platform designer could look at as a
source to introduce boot-time entropy for e.g. EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL even on
an existing platform without dedicated hardware for the purpose.
Just a thought.
Jon.
