Hi Ard,
The KASLR is backported to LSK v4.4 on git://git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-stable.git v4.4/topic/mm-kaslr
from v4.4.9 to 5dd612e parisc: Use generic extable search and sort .. Could you like help to review the backporting commits, especially on the 'Conflicts' commits: 44b9620 arm64: kvm: deal with kernel symbols outside of linear mapping 2894f32 arm64: prevent potential circular header dependencies in asm/bug.h d277954 Eliminate the .eh_frame sections from the aarch64 vmlinux and kernel modules 358e3c8 arm64: Use PoU cache instr for I/D coherency
Thanks Alex

You can drop this one, I think? I don't suppose anyone is running LSK on the PA-risc architecture?

Looks fine to me
2894f32 arm64: prevent potential circular header dependencies in asm/bug.h
Looks fine. You will notice fairly quickly since it works around a build problem
d277954 Eliminate the .eh_frame sections from the aarch64 vmlinux and kernel modules 358e3c8 arm64: Use PoU cache instr for I/D coherency
Both look fine as well.
Once you have managed to build this with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y, you can check if it works by getting a firmware here:
http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/kernel/leg-virt-tianocore-edk2-upstre...
and running it in qemu as below
qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -cpu cortex-a57 -m 512 -nographic -bios QEMU_EFI.fd -kernel xxxx -append 'earlycon console=ttyAMA0' -device virtio-rng-pci
and you should see different values for the entries below at every boot
[ 0.000000] .text : 0xffffff8691ef0000 - 0xffffff8692620000 ( 7360 KB) [ 0.000000] .rodata : 0xffffff8692620000 - 0xffffff8692940000 ( 3200 KB) [ 0.000000] .init : 0xffffff8692940000 - 0xffffff8692be0000 ( 2688 KB) [ 0.000000] .data : 0xffffff8692be0000 - 0xffffff8692c8d400 ( 693 KB) [ 0.000000] .bss : 0xffffff8692c8d400 - 0xffffff8692ccbbac ( 250 KB)
Thanks, Ard.
Thanks for Ard help.
After figuring out and fix a 'undefined instr' issue in my qemu, this feature was tested good in LSK 4.4.
Thanks

Very nice work! 3.18 will be a lot more difficult though :-)

Thanks! Yes, it's a far big gap from 3.18 to 4.6 ... :)

Hi Alex,
The 4.7 release contains some updates and improvements to the KASLR code. I pushed them onto a lsk-v4.4 branch here: https://git.linaro.org/people/ard.biesheuvel/linux-arm.git/shortlog/refs/hea...

That appears to be directly on top of the latest LSK rather than the KASLR topic branch v4.4/topic/mm-kaslr - can you rebase on top of the topic branch please or are there other dependencies that make that problematic?
Please when pointing to git repositories post references that are usable with git rather than something that requires a bunch of manual fiddling - usually that's repo and tag so for this:
https://git.linaro.org/people/ard.biesheuvel/linux-arm.git arm64-kaslr-v4.4
Please also provide a diffstat and log, that's really helpful when pulling changes as it provides a quick way to check that what's being pulled is what was expected in case things didn't get pushed that should've been or similar. Using "git request-pull" to generate the request is a good way to cover all these bases.

No, everything applies cleanly onto that branch as well.

Hi,
Another two cleanup patches related to KASLR that were pulled into v4.8-rc1. The first one fixes a potential build failure with newer (as yet unreleased) binutils. The second one gets rid of some absolute symbol based relocations, which actually don't hurt in this case (unlike in the EFI stub case), but removing them results in a cleaner binary and simpler relocation code in the early boot path.
Thanks for notice. Could you like to send me pull for the new fixes?
Regards Alex

I already did, It is the part of the email that you removed before replying.
Got and pushed.
