    arm64: add support for kernel ASLR · f80fb3a3
    Ard Biesheuvel authored
    This adds support for KASLR is implemented, based on entropy provided by
    the bootloader in the /chosen/kaslr-seed DT property. Depending on the size
    of the address space (VA_BITS) and the page size, the entropy in the
    virtual displacement is up to 13 bits (16k/2 levels) and up to 25 bits (all
    4 levels), with the sidenote that displacements that result in the kernel
    image straddling a 1GB/32MB/512MB alignment boundary (for 4KB/16KB/64KB
    granule kernels, respectively) are not allowed, and will be rounded up to
    an acceptable value.
    
    If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is enabled, the module region is
    randomized independently from the core kernel. This makes it less likely
    that the location of core kernel data structures can be determined by an
    adversary, but causes all function calls from modules into the core kernel
    to be resolved via entries in the module PLTs.
    
    If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is not enabled, the module region is
    randomized by choosing a page aligned 128 MB region inside the interval
    [_etext - 128 MB, _stext + 128 MB). This gives between 10 and 14 bits of
    entropy (depending on page size), independently of the kernel randomization,
    but still guarantees that modules are within the range of relative branch
    and jump instructions (with the caveat that, since the module region is
    shared with other uses of the vmalloc area, modules may need to be loaded
    further away if the module region is exhausted)
