Random Number Full Entropy
Random Number with fresh full entropy. Returns a 64-bit random number from an approved Random Bit Generator, using either a Non-deterministic Random Bit Generator or one where the Deterministic Random Bit Generator is reseeded, where possible, from an approved entropy source before the return of the random number. 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.
When FEAT_RNG_TRAP is implemented and SCR_EL3.TRNDR is 1, reads of this register are trapped to EL3.
This register is present only when (FEAT_RNG is implemented or FEAT_RNG_TRAP is implemented) and FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to RNDRRS are UNDEFINED.
RNDRRS is a 64-bit register.
