x86, kaslr: Prevent .bss from overlaping initrd
When choosing a random address, the current implementation does not take into account the reversed space for .bss and .brk sections. Thus the relocated kernel may overlap other components in memory. Here is an example of the overlap from a x86_64 kernel in qemu (the ranges of physical addresses are presented): Physical Address 0x0fe00000 --+--------------------+ <-- randomized base / | relocated kernel | vmlinux.bin | (from vmlinux.bin) | 0x1336d000 (an ELF file) +--------------------+-- \ | | \ 0x1376d870 --+--------------------+ | | relocs table | | 0x13c1c2a8 +--------------------+ .bss and .brk | | | 0x13ce6000 +--------------------+ | | | / 0x13f77000 | initrd |-- | | 0x13fef374 +--------------------+ The initrd image will then be overwritten by the memset during early initialization: [ 1.655204] Unpacking initramfs... [ 1.662831] Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive This patch prevents the above situation by requiring a larger space when looking for a random kernel base, so that existing logic can effectively avoids the overlap.
