[PATCH 2/4] kaslr: check if the random addr is available

From: Baoquan He
Date: Fri Sep 05 2014 - 10:10:12 EST


Currently kaslr enabling can extend the kernel virtual address space
to 1G, next is for modules. So if kernel is loaded to above 1G, system
running will be exceptional, This happened when kexec/kdump load kernel.

So add a check to see if the decompression output region is contained
in 1G.
