Subject: [PATCH v2 00/13] arm64: implement support for KASLR

This series implements KASLR for arm64, by building the kernel as a PIE
executable that can relocate itself at runtime, and moving it to a random
offset in the vmalloc area. This v2 also implements physical randomization,
i.e., it allows the kernel to deal with being loaded at any physical offset
(modulo the required alignment), and invokes the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL from the
UEFI stub to obtain random bits and perform the actual randomization of the
physical load address.

Changes since v1/RFC:
- This series now implements fully independent virtual and physical address
  randomization at load time. I have recycled some patches from this series:
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/455151, and updated the
  final UEFI stub patch to randomize the physical address as well.
- Added a patch to deal with the way KVM on arm64 makes assumptions about the
  relation between kernel symbols and the linear mapping (on which the HYP
  mapping is based), as these assumptions cease to be valid once we move the
  kernel Image out of the linear mapping.
- Updated the module PLT patch so it works on BE kernels as well.
- Moved the constant Image header values to head.S, and updated the linker
  script to provide the kernel size using R_AARCH64_ABS32 relocation rather
  than a R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocation, since those are always resolved at build
  time. This allows me to get rid of the post-build perl script to swab header
  values on BE kernels.
- Minor style tweaks.

Notes:
- These patches apply on top of Mark Rutland's pagetable rework series:
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/462438
- The arm64 Image is uncompressed by default, and the Elf64_Rela format uses
  24 bytes per relocation entry. This results in considerable bloat (i.e., a
  couple of MBs worth of relocation data in an .init section). However, no
  build time postprocessing is required, we rely fully on the toolchain to
  produce the image
- We have to rely on the bootloader to supply some randomness in register x1
  upon kernel entry. Since we have no decompressor, it is simply not feasible
  to collect randomness in the head.S code path before mapping the kernel and
  enabling the MMU.
- The EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL that is invoked in patch #13 to supply randomness on
  UEFI systems is not universally available. A QEMU/KVM firmware image that
  implements a pseudo-random version is available here:
  http://people.linaro.org/~ard.biesheuvel/QEMU_EFI.fd.aarch64-rng.bz2
  (requires access to PMCCNTR_EL0 and support for AES instructions)
  See below for instructions how to run the pseudo-random version on real
  hardware.
- Only mildly tested. Help appreciated.

Code can be found here:
git://git.linaro.org/people/ard.biesheuvel/linux-arm.git arm64-kaslr-v2
https://git.linaro.org/people/ard.biesheuvel/linux-arm.git/shortlog/refs/heads/arm64-kaslr-v2

Patch #1 updates the OF code to allow the minimum memblock physical address to
be overridden by the arch.

Patch #2 introduces KIMAGE_VADDR as the base of the kernel virtual region.

Patch #3 memblock_reserve()'s the .bss, swapper_pg_dir and idmap_pg_dir
individually.

Patch #4 rewrites early_fixmap_init() so it does not rely on the linear mapping
(i.e., the use of phys_to_virt() is avoided)

Patch #5 updates KVM on arm64 so it can deal with kernel symbols whose addresses
are not covered by the linear mapping.

Patch #6 moves the kernel virtual mapping to the vmalloc area, along with the
module region which is kept right below it, as before.

Patch #7 adds support for PLTs in modules so that relative branches can be
resolved via a PLT if the target is out of range.

Patch #8 moves to the x86 version of the extable implementation so that it no
longer contains absolute addresses that require fixing up at relocation time,
but uses relative offsets instead.

Patch #9 reverts some changes to the Image header population code so we no
longer depend on the linker to populate the header fields. This is necessary
since the R_AARCH64_ABS relocations that are emitted for these fields are not
resolved at build time for PIE executables.

Patch #10 updates the code in head.S that needs to execute before relocation to
avoid the use of values that are subject to dynamic relocation. These values
will not be populated in PIE executables.

Patch #11 allows the kernel Image to be loaded anywhere in physical memory, by
decoupling PHYS_OFFSET from the base of the kernel image.

Patch #12 implements the core KASLR, by taking randomness supplied in register x1
and using it to move the kernel inside the vmalloc area.

Patch #13 adds an invocation of the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL to supply randomness to the
kernel proper.

EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL on real hardware
=================================

To test whether your UEFI implements the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL, download the
following executable and run it from the UEFI Shell:
http://people.linaro.org/~ard.biesheuvel/RngTest.efi

FS0:\> rngtest
UEFI RNG Protocol Testing :
----------------------------
 -- Locate UEFI RNG Protocol : [Fail - Status = Not Found]

If your UEFI does not implement the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL, you can download and
install the pseudo-random version that uses the generic timer and PMCCNTR_EL0
values and permutes them using a couple of rounds of AES.
http://people.linaro.org/~ard.biesheuvel/RngDxe.efi

NOTE: not for production!! This is a quick and dirty hack to test the KASLR
code, and is not suitable for anything else.
