[PATCH v5 03/21] x86, KASLR: Drop CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET
From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Apr 14 2016 - 18:34:33 EST
From: Baoquan He <bhe@xxxxxxxxxx>
Currently CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET is used to limit the maximum
offset for kernel randomization. This limit doesn't need to be a CONFIG
since it is tied completely to KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE, and will make no sense
once physical and virtual offsets are randomized separately. This patch
removes CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET and consolidates the Kconfig
help text.

+ internals.
+
+ 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.

- ---help---
- The lesser of RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET and available physical
- memory is used to determine the maximal offset in bytes that will
- be applied to the kernel when kernel Address Space Layout
- Randomization (kASLR) is active. This must be a multiple of
- PHYSICAL_ALIGN.
-
- On 32-bit this is limited to 512MiB by page table layouts. The
- default is 512MiB.
-
- 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_MAX_OFFSET is above 512MiB, the
- modules area will shrink to compensate, up to the current maximum
- 1GiB to 1GiB split. The default is 1GiB.

- If unsure, leave at the default value.
