[PATCH] x86: fix kaslr and memmap collision

From: Dave Jiang
Date: Mon Nov 21 2016 - 19:22:24 EST


CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE relocates the kernel to a random base address.
However it does not take into account the memmap= parameter passed in from
the kernel commandline. This results in the kernel sometimes being put in
the middle of the user memmap. Check has been added in the kaslr in order
to avoid the region marked by memmap.
