Hi Christophe ,

Can you take a look at patch 6,7,9 of this version?

Thank you,
Jason

This series implements KASLR for powerpc/fsl_booke/32, as a security
feature that deters exploit attempts relying on knowledge of the location
of kernel internals.

Since CONFIG_RELOCATABLE has already supported, what we need to do is
map or copy kernel to a proper place and relocate. Freescale Book-E
parts expect lowmem to be mapped by fixed TLB entries(TLB1). The TLB1
entries are not suitable to map the kernel directly in a randomized
region, so we chose to copy the kernel to a proper place and restart to
relocate.

Entropy is derived from the banner and timer base, which will change every
build and boot. This not so much safe so additionally the bootloader may
pass entropy via the /chosen/kaslr-seed node in device tree.

We will use the first 512M of the low memory to randomize the kernel
image. The memory will be split in 64M zones. We will use the lower 8
bit of the entropy to decide the index of the 64M zone. Then we chose a
16K aligned offset inside the 64M zone to put the kernel in.

KERNELBASE

|--> 64M <--|
| |
+---------------+ +----------------+---------------+
| |....| |kernel| | |
+---------------+ +----------------+---------------+
| |
|-----> offset <-----|

kimage_vaddr

We also check if we will overlap with some areas like the dtb area, the
initrd area or the crashkernel area. If we cannot find a proper area,
kaslr will be disabled and boot from the original kernel.

Changes since v3:
- Add Reviewed-by and Tested-by tag from Diana
- Change the comment in fsl_booke_entry_mapping.S to be consistent
with the new code.

Changes since v2:
- Remove unnecessary #ifdef
- Use SZ_64M instead of0x4000000
- Call early_init_dt_scan_chosen() to init boot_command_line
- Rename kaslr_second_init() to kaslr_late_init()

Changes since v1:
- Remove some useless 'extern' keyword.
- Replace EXPORT_SYMBOL with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
- Improve some assembly code
- Use memzero_explicit instead of memset
- Use boot_command_line and remove early_command_line
- Do not print kaslr offset if kaslr is disabled
