Description
Like all HAL APIs, the calls in trng_api.h are not expected to be thread-safe.
All current accesses to the TRNG HAL are currently via
mbedtls_hardware_poll
. Mbed TLS does not currently serialise these calls itself, asMBEDTLS_THREADING_C
is not enabled. But even if Mbed TLS's own accesses were serialised, there are other direct users ofmbedtls_hardware_poll
such as randLIB, that need to use direct calls due to lack of API to extract entropy from Mbed TLS.As such it makes sense to treat
mbedtls_hardware_poll
as a de facto public Mbed OS API, akin to the C++ veneers on top of the HAL, and add aPlatformMutex
there so that it is safe for multithreaded use.Fixes #9513
