Hi,

Recently people using big box servers are also very interested in kaslr and want
to have it to enhance security. So allowing kaslr be able to randomize above 4G
makes much sense for different kinds of system. I would like to repost patches
realted to kaslr in this patchset, and leave the rest to Yinghai. Or I can try
to understand and adjust the rest with yh and reviewers' help, then post. But
firstly I will focus on kaslr and try to make it merge into Linus's tree.

Since this patchset includes too many issues and people usually like reviewing
post which takes care of one main issue in one thread, I will start from below
thread. It mainly includes kaslr above 4G support and bug fixes and several clean
up patch. 

x86, boot: kaslr cleanup and 64bit kaslr support 
https://lwn.net/Articles/637115/

The following patch lists is taken from yh's cover letter of above patch thread.

************************
Baoquan He (7):
  x86, kaslr: Fix a bug that relocation can not be handled when kernel is loaded above 2G
  x86, kaslr: Introduce struct slot_area to manage randomization slot info
  x86, kaslr: Add two functions which will be used later
  x86, kaslr: Introduce fetch_random_virt_offset to randomize the kernel text mapping address
  x86, kaslr: Randomize physical and virtual address of kernel separately
  x86, kaslr: Add support of kernel physical address randomization above 4G
  x86, kaslr: Remove useless codes

Jiri Kosina (1):
  x86, kaslr: Propagate base load address calculation v2
*** this one has been merged. Jiri posted firslty, later Boris reverted it and
handled in a better way in commit (78cac48 x86/mm/KASLR: Propagate KASLR status to kernel proper)

Yinghai Lu (11):
  x86, boot: Make data from decompress_kernel stage live longer
  x86, boot: Simplify run_size calculation
  x86, kaslr: Kill not used run_size related code.
  x86, kaslr: Use output_run_size
  x86, kaslr: Consolidate mem_avoid array filling
  x86, boot: Move z_extract_offset calculation to header.S
  x86, kaslr: Get correct max_addr for relocs pointer
  x86, boot: Split kernel_ident_mapping_init to another file
  x86, 64bit: Set ident_mapping for kaslr
  x86, boot: Add checking for memcpy
  x86, kaslr: Allow random address could be below loaded address

**************************
My plan is split them into 
1) kaslr above 4G support
  x86, boot: Split kernel_ident_mapping_init to another file
  x86, 64bit: Set ident_mapping for kaslr
  x86, boot: Add checking for memcpy
  x86, boot: Move z_extract_offset calculation to header.S
  x86, boot: Simplify run_size calculation
  x86, kaslr: Kill not used run_size related code.
  x86, kaslr: Use output_run_size
  x86, kaslr: Fix a bug that relocation can not be handled when kernel is loaded above 2G
  x86, kaslr: Introduce struct slot_area to manage randomization slot info
  x86, kaslr: Add two functions which will be used later
  x86, kaslr: Introduce fetch_random_virt_offset to randomize the kernel text mapping address
  x86, kaslr: Randomize physical and virtual address of kernel separately
  x86, kaslr: Add support of kernel physical address randomization above 4G
  x86, kaslr: Remove useless codes
2) allow kaslr to choose slots below loaded address
  x86, kaslr: Consolidate mem_avoid array filling
  x86, kaslr: Allow random address could be below loaded address
3) Make data from decompress_kernel stage live longer (bug fix)
  x86, boot: Make data from decompress_kernel stage live longer
4) Get correct max_addr for relocs pointer (improvement)
  x86, kaslr: Get correct max_addr for relocs pointer

The 2) could be added into 1) post. I take it out because the mem_avoid issue is very
complicated, can be discussed in a separate thread. And 1) post only focus the kaslr
above 4G support.

That's all I plan to do. Suggestion or comments are welcome.

Thanks
Baoquan

Hi,

Has there been any more work on these series of patches? I asked many
questions in my earlier review, but nothing was answered.

Thanks,

That sounds great, thanks! Please check the rest of the thread where I
asked a number of questions that remain unanswered. If we can get some
clarification on those points, I think it would help move this along
more quickly.

Thanks for continuing this work!

Hi Kees,

Thanks for your suggestion. I am trying to understand all patches and
make some adjustment, meanwhile adjust patch log with my understanding.
And your questions help me understand it deeper. I will post after
updating. Hope you, Yinghai and other experts can help review and give
precious comments and suggestions.

Thanks
Baoquan
