Our virtual KASLR displacement is a randomly chosen multiple of 2 MiB plus an offset that is equal to the physical placement modulo 2 MiB. This arrangement ensures that we can always use 2 MiB block mappings (or contiguous PTE mappings for 16k or 64k pages) to map the kernel. This means that a KASLR offset of less than 2 MiB is simply the product of this physical displacement, and no randomization has actually taken place. Currently, we use 'kaslr_offset() > 0' to decide whether or not randomization has occurred, and so we misidentify this case.
Fix this, by correctly identifying the case where the virtual displacement is a result of the physical displacement only. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

--- I have sent out the same patch with a much shorter commit log as part of my LPA2 series before, but I only realized today that this is likely to fix most occurrences of the issue where a single 10g vmalloc() call break subsequent module loading, so I am reposting it in isolation. arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h | 11 +++++++++++ arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kernel/kaslr.c | 2 +- 3 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)diff --git a/arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h b/arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h index 9dd08cd339c3f028..78e5163836a0ab95 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h +++ b/arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h@@ -180,6 +180,7 @@ #include <linux/compiler.h> #include <linux/mmdebug.h> #include <linux/types.h> +#include <asm/boot.h> #include <asm/bug.h> #if VA_BITS > 48@@ -203,6 +204,16 @@ static inline unsigned long kaslr_offset(void) return kimage_vaddr - KIMAGE_VADDR; } +static inline bool kaslr_enabled(void) +{ + /* + * The KASLR offset modulo MIN_KIMG_ALIGN is taken from the physical + * placement of the image rather than from the seed, so a displacement + * of less than MIN_KIMG_ALIGN means that no seed was provided. + */ + return kaslr_offset() >= MIN_KIMG_ALIGN; +} + /* * Allow all memory at the discovery stage.
