[PATCH v2 0/5] LoongArch: Add kernel relocation and KASLR support

From: Xi Ruoyao
Date: Tue Feb 07 2023 - 09:29:38 EST


This patch series to support kernel relocation and KASLR (only 64bit).

I've only tested new toolchains (CONFIG_AS_HAS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS=y)
consisted of Binutils-2.40, and GCC-12.2 heavily patched to support new
relocs. Unfortunately I've purged my old toolchain installation (because
it contained a buggy GCC-12.1 miscompiling some code). Please test the
configuration with old toolchain.

Test results with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y on a 3A5000-7A2000-EVB:

First boot:

$ sudo cat /proc/iomem | grep Kernel
010e0000-018fffff : Kernel code
01900000-01e4b5ff : Kernel data
01e4b600-01f56e9f : Kernel bss

Second boot:

$ sudo cat /proc/iomem | grep Kernel
019a0000-021bffff : Kernel code
021c0000-0270b5ff : Kernel data
0270b600-02816e9f : Kernel bss

Changes from v1:

- Relocate the handlers instead of using a trampoline, to avoid
performance issue on NUMA systems.
- Fix compiler warnings.

Xi Ruoyao (2):
LoongArch: Use la.pcrel instead of la.abs when it's trivially possible
LoongArch: Use la.pcrel instead of la.abs for exception handlers

Youling Tang (3):
LoongArch: Add JUMP_LINK_ADDR macro implementation to avoid using
la.abs
LoongArch: Add support for kernel relocation
LoongArch: Add support for kernel address space layout randomization
(KASLR)
