[PATCH v4 20/20] x86, kaslr: Use KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE as the offset max for kernel virtual randomization
From: Baoquan He
Date: Tue Mar 22 2016 - 03:34:49 EST
The old code uses CONFIG_RANDOM_OFFSET_MAX to get the offset max for kernel
virtual randomization, and CONFIG_RANDOM_OFFSET_MAX is a configurable value
within the scope of [512M, 1G] on x86_64. Currently CONFIG_RANDOM_OFFSET_MAX
always defaults to 1G, and seems no obvious benefit to make it configurable.
So Kees suggested we should set KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE 1G if RANDOMIZE_BASE is
on, and use KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE as offset max.
In this patch just do as Kees suggested. And with this change
CONFIG_RANDOM_OFFSET_MAX is not needed any more, so clean it up now.

+ The kernel physical address can be randomized from 16M to
+ 64T at most. The kernel virtual address will be offset
+ by up to KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE. On 32-bit KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE is
+ 512MiB. while on 64-bit this is limited by how the kernel
+ fixmap page table is positioned, so this cannot be larger
+ than 1GiB currently. Without RANDOMIZE_BASE there is a 512MiB
+ to 1.5GiB split between kernel and modules. When RANDOMIZE_BASE
+ is enabled, the modules area will shrink to compensate, up
+ to a 1GiB to 1GiB split, KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE changes from 512MiB
+ to 1GiB.
Entropy is generated using the RDRAND instruction if it is
supported. If RDTSC is supported, it is used as well. If
neither RDRAND nor RDTSC are supported, then randomness is
read from the i8254 timer.
- The kernel will be offset by up to RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET,
- and aligned according to PHYSICAL_ALIGN. Since the kernel is
- built using 2GiB addressing, and PHYSICAL_ALGIN must be at a
- minimum of 2MiB, only 10 bits of entropy is theoretically
- possible. At best, due to page table layouts, 64-bit can use
- 9 bits of entropy and 32-bit uses 8 bits.
