[PATCH v3 2/3] x86/modules: Increase randomization for modules

From: Rick Edgecombe
Date: Wed Aug 15 2018 - 16:34:26 EST


This changes the behavior of the KASLR logic for allocating memory for the text
sections of loadable modules. It randomizes the location of each module text
section with about 17 bits of entropy in typical use. This is enabled on X86_64
only. For 32 bit, the behavior is unchanged. It refactors existing code around
module randomization in order to cleanly implement this along side the unchanged
32 bit behavior.

The algorithm breaks the module space in two, a random area and a backup area.
It first tries to allocate at a number of randomly located starting pages inside
the random section without purging any lazy free vmap areas and triggering the
associated TLB flush. If this fails, it will try again a number of times
allowing for purges if needed. Finally if those both fail to find a position it
will allocate in the backup area. The backup area base will be offset in the
same way as the current algorithm does for the base area, 1024 possible
locations.
