[PATCH v9 2/4] x86/modules: Increase randomization for modules

From: Rick Edgecombe
Date: Fri Nov 09 2018 - 20:36:42 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 somewhat. There are now
three different behaviors for x86 module_alloc depending on config.
RANDOMIZE_BASE=n, and RANDOMIZE_BASE=y ARCH=x86_64, and RANDOMIZE_BASE=y
ARCH=i386. The refactor of the existing code is to try to clearly show what
those behaviors are without having three separate versions or threading the
behaviors in a bunch of little spots. The reason it is not enabled on 32 bit
yet is because the module space is much smaller and simulations haven't been
run to see how it performs.

The new 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. If this fails, then 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.

Due to boot_params being defined with different types in different places,
placing the config helpers modules.h or kaslr.h caused conflicts elsewhere, and
so they are placed in a new file, kaslr_modules.h, instead.
