[PATCH 5/7] x86, kaslr: select memory region from e820 maps

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Oct 03 2013 - 16:56:00 EST


Counts available alignment positions across all e820 maps, and chooses
one randomly for the new kernel base address.

Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

v2:
- make sure to exclude e820 regions outside the 32-bit memory range.

+ * This routine is used to count how many aligned slots that can hold the
+ * kernel exist across all e820 entries. It is called in two phases, once
+ * to count valid memory regions available for the kernel image, and a
+ * second time to select one from those seen.
+ *
+ * It is first called with "counting" set to true, where it expects to be
+ * called once for each e820 entry. In this mode, it will update *count
+ * with how many slots are available in the given e820 entry. Once the walk
+ * across all e820 entries has finished, the caller will have a total count
+ * of all valid memory regions available for the kernel image.
+ *
+ * Once the first pass of entry walking is finished, the caller selects one
+ * of the possible slots (stored in *count), and performs a second walk,
+ * with "counting" set to false. In this mode, *count is decremented until
+ * the corresponding slot is found in a specific e820 region, at which
+ * point, the function returns that address, and the walk terminates.
