[PATCH v2] x86: fix kaslr and memmap collision

From: Dave Jiang
Date: Tue Nov 29 2016 - 14:26:59 EST


CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE relocates the kernel to a random base address.
However it does not take into account the memmap= parameter passed in from
the kernel cmdline. This results in the kernel sometimes being put in
the middle of the user memmap. Teaching kaslr to not insert the kernel in
memmap defined regions. We will support up to 4 memmap regions. Any
additional regions will cause kaslr to disable. The mem_avoid set has
been augmented to add up to 4 regions of memmaps provided by the user
to exclude those regions from the set of valid address range to insert
the uncompressed kernel image.
