      arm64: kaslr: Announce KASLR status on boot · 294a9ddd
      Mark Brown authored
      Currently the KASLR code is silent at boot unless it forces on KPTI in
      which case a message will be printed for that. This can lead to users
      incorrectly believing their system has the feature enabled when it in
      fact does not, and if they notice the problem the lack of any
      diagnostics makes it harder to understand the problem. Add an initcall
      which prints a message showing the status of KASLR during boot to make
      the status clear.
      
      This is particularly useful in cases where we don't have a seed. It
      seems to be a relatively common error for system integrators and
      administrators to enable KASLR in their configuration but not provide
      the seed at runtime, often due to seed provisioning breaking at some
      later point after it is initially enabled and verified.
