[PATCH v3 1/5] riscv: Introduce virtual kernel mapping KASLR

Tue Jun 6 05:32:38 PDT 2023
KASLR implementation relies on a relocatable kernel so that we can move
the kernel mapping.
The seed needed to virtually move the kernel is taken from the device tree,
so we rely on the bootloader to provide a correct seed. Zkr could be used
unconditionnally instead if implemented, but that's for another patch.

+ It is the bootloader's job to provide entropy, by passing a
+ random u64 value in /chosen/kaslr-seed at kernel entry.
+
+ When booting via the UEFI stub, it will invoke the firmware's
+ EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL implementation (if available) to supply entropy
+ to the kernel proper. In addition, it will randomise the physical
+ location of the kernel Image as well.
