Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 13/13] arm64: efi: invoke EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL to supply
KASLR randomness
Hi Ard,
I had a go at testing this on Juno with a hacked-up PRNG, and while
everything seems to work, I think we need to make the address selection
more robust to sparse memory maps (which I believe they are going to be
fairly common).
Info dump below and suggestion below.
Other than that, this looks really nice -- I'll do other review in a
separate reply.

I think that "suboptimal" is somewhat an understatement. Across 10
consecutive runs I ended up getting the same address 7 times:

My "Seed" here is just the CNTVCT value, with phys_seed being a xor of
each of the 16 bit chunks (see diff at the end of hte email). Judging by
the reserve addresses, I don't think the PRNG is to blame -- it's just
that that gaps are large relative to the available RAM and swallow up
much of the entropy, forcing a fall back to the same address.
One thing we could do is to perform the address selection in the space
of available memory, excluding gaps entirely. i.e. sum up the available
memory, select the Nth available byte, then walk the memory map to
convert that back to a real address. We might still choose an address
that cannot be used (e.g. if the kernel would hang over the end of a
region), but it'd be rarer than hitting a gap.
Thoughts?
For the above, my EFI memory map looks like:

I've included my local hacks below in case they are useful.
Thanks,
