[PATCH v2 2/2] x86/boot/KASLR: Fix the wrong assignment to 'virt_addr'

From: Baoquan He
Date: Tue Jun 27 2017 - 08:39:39 EST


Kernel text KASLR is separated into physical address and virtual
address randomization. And for virtual address randomization, we
only randomiza to get an offset between 16M and KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE.
So the initial value of 'virt_addr' should be LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR,
but not the original kernel loading address 'output'. It's a code
bug.

The bug will cause kernel failure if kernel is loaded at a different
position than the address, 16M, which is decided at compiled time.
Kexec/kdump is such pratical case.

To fix it, just assign LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR to virt_addr as initial
value.

Fixes: 8391c73 ("x86/KASLR: Randomize virtual address separately")
