[edk2-devel] [PATCH v5 1/5] MdePkg: TimerRngLib: Added RngLib that uses TimerLib

From: Matthew Carlson <macarl at microsoft.com>

Added a new RngLib that provides random numbers from the TimerLib
using the performance counter. This is meant to be used for OpenSSL
to replicate past behavior. This should not be used in production as
a real source of entropy.
