The code in
rdrand.rs
is mostly straightforward. We just switch between usingcore::arch::x86_64::_rdrand64_step
andcore::arch::x86::_rdrand32_step
. By havingWORD_SIZE
differ betweenx86_64
andx86
, most of the code can remain the same while not losing any efficiency (as would be the case if we used_rdrand32_step
on both platforms).Similar to what we were already doing on
x86_64
, we now always test the RDRAND implementation on allx86
targets. I also improved our testing coverage, we now run tests on the following targets:x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
i686-unknown-linux-gnu
i686-unknown-linux-musl
This is possible as 64-bit Linux supports running 32-bit binaries.
Remaining questions
Right now we just assume that we will always have CPUID. This is true for all currently supported Rust x86 targets (as CPUID has been around for ~27 years). However, in an ideal world, we would use
has_cpuid
before invoking__cpuid
, but that function isn't stable (and will likely never be stable).Is it fine to just assume CPUID is always supported (on non-SGX targets)? Or should we do something else to handle the case of CPUID not existing.
