[PATCH 3/6] x86: kaslr: return location from decompress_kernel

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Apr 25 2013 - 17:56:57 EST


This allows decompress_kernel to return a new location for the kernel to
be relocated to. With CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, the choose_kernel_location
routine will select a new location to decompress the kernel, and is
presently a no-op. The logic for bypassing this routine with "noaslr"
on the kernel command line is handled.
