Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/KASLR: Use old ident map page table if physical randomization failed
Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 18:39:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1493203160-20148-3-git-send-email-bhe@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1493203160-20148-1-git-send-email-bhe@redhat.com>

Dave found when kdump kernel will reset to bios immediately if kaslr
is enabled and physical randomization failed to faind a new position
for kernel. But nokaslr works in this case.

The reason is kaslr will install a new page table for ident mapping,
while it missed to consider building ident mapping for original area
of kernel if kaslr failed on physical randomization.

In fact bootloaders including kexec/kdump have built ident mapping
for original place of kernel. We can only install new ident mapping
page table when physical kaslr succeeds. Otherwise we just keep the
old page table unchanged just like nokaslr does.
