[PATCH 2/6] x86/boot: Move compressed kernel to end of decompression buffer
From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Apr 28 2016 - 20:10:59 EST
From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx>
This change makes later calculations about where the kernel is located
easier to reason about. To better understand this change, we must first
clarify what VO and ZO are. They were introduced in commits by hpa:
77d1a49 x86, boot: make symbols from the main vmlinux available
37ba7ab x86, boot: make kernel_alignment adjustable; new bzImage fields
Specifically:
VO:
- uncompressed kernel image
- size: VO__end - VO__text ("VO_INIT_SIZE" define)
ZO:
- bootable compressed kernel image (boot/compressed/vmlinux)
- head text + compressed kernel (VO and relocs table) + decompressor code
- size: ZO__end - ZO_startup_32 ("ZO_INIT_SIZE" define, though see below)
The INIT_SIZE definition is used to find the larger of the two image sizes:
#define ZO_INIT_SIZE (ZO__end - ZO_startup_32 + ZO_z_extract_offset)
#define VO_INIT_SIZE (VO__end - VO__text)
#if ZO_INIT_SIZE > VO_INIT_SIZE
#define INIT_SIZE ZO_INIT_SIZE
#else
#define INIT_SIZE VO_INIT_SIZE
#endif
The current code uses extract_offset to decide where to position the
copied ZO (i.e. ZO starts at extract_offset). (This is why ZO_INIT_SIZE
currently includes the extract_offset.)
When INIT_SIZE is bigger than VO_INIT_SIZE (uncommon but possible),
the copied ZO occupies the memory from extract_offset to the end of
decompression buffer. It overlaps with the soon-to-be-uncompressed kernel
like this:
|-----compressed kernel image------|
V V
0 extract_offset +INIT_SIZE
|-----------|---------------|-------------------------|--------|
| | | |
VO__text startup_32 of ZO VO__end ZO__end
^ ^
|-------uncompressed kernel image---------|
When INIT_SIZE is equal to VO_INIT_SIZE (likely) there's still space
left from end of ZO to the end of decompressing buffer, like below.
|-compressed kernel image-|
V V
0 extract_offset +INIT_SIZE
|-----------|---------------|-------------------------|--------|
| | | |
VO__text startup_32 of ZO ZO__end VO__end
^ ^
|------------uncompressed kernel image-------------|
To simplify calculations and avoid special cases, it is cleaner to
always place the compressed kernel image in memory so that ZO__end
is at the end of the decompression buffer, instead of placing that
start extract_offset as is currently done.
This patch adds BP_init_size (which is the INIT_SIZE as passed in from
the boot_params) into asm-offsets.c to make it visible to the assembly
code. Then when moving the ZO, it calculates the starting position of
the copied ZO (via BP_init_size and the ZO run size) so that the VO__end
will be at the end of the decompression buffer. To make the position
calculation safe, the end of ZO is page aligned (and a comment is added
to the existing VO alignment for good measure).
