RNDR: Random Number

Purpose

Random Number. Returns a 64-bit random number from an approved Random Bit Generator, where the Deterministic Random Bit Generator within the Random Bit Generator is reseeded from an approved entropy source at an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED rate. See 'Properties of the generated random number'.

If the hardware returns a genuine random number, PSTATE.NZCV is set to 0b0000.

If the instruction cannot return a genuine random number in a reasonable period of time, PSTATE.NZCV is set to 0b0100 and the data value returned is 0.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_RNG is implemented or FEAT_RNG_TRAP is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to RNDR are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

RNDR is a 64-bit register.
