[PATCH v11 0/5] x86/boot/KASLR: Parse ACPI table and limit kaslr in immovable memory

[Chao Fan]

***Background:
People reported that kaslr may randomly chooses some positions
which are located in movable memory regions. This will break memory
hotplug feature and make the movable memory chosen by KASLR can't be
removed.

***Solutions:
There should be a method to limit kaslr to choosing immovable memory
regions, so there are 2 solutions:
1) Add a kernel parameter to specify the memory regions.
2) Get the information of memory hot-remove, then kaslr will know the
   right regions.
In method 2, information about memory hot-remove is in ACPI
tables, which will be parsed after start_kernel(), kaslr can't get
the information.
In method 1, users should know the regions address and specify in
kernel parameter.

In the earliest time, I tried to dig ACPI tabls to solve this problem.
But I didn't splite the code in 'compressed/' and ACPI code, so the patch
is hard to follow so refused by community.
Somebody suggest to add a kernel parameter to specify the
immovable memory so that limit kaslr in these regions. Then I make
a new patchset. After several versions, Ingo gave a suggestion:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg1634024.html
Follow Ingo's suggestion, imitate the ACPI code to parse the acpi
tables, so that the kaslr can get necessary memory information in
ACPI tables.
I think ACPI code is an independent part, so imitate the codes
and functions to 'compressed/' directory, so that kaslr won't
influence the initialization of ACPI.

PATCH 1/7 Add efi_get_rsdp_addr() to dig out RSDP from EFI table when
          booting from EFI.
PATCH 2/7 Add bios_get_rsdp_addr() to search RSDP in memory when EFI
          table not found.
PATCH 3/7 Add get_acpi_rsdp() to parse RSDP in cmdline from kexec
PATCH 4/7 Dig out SRAT table from RSDP and walk SRAT table to store
          the immovable memory regions.
PATCH 5/7 Calculate the intersection between memory regions from e820/efi
          memory table and immovable memory regions. Limit KASLR choose
          these regions for randomization.

v1->v2:
 -  Simplify some code.
Follow Baoquan He's suggestion:
 - Reuse the head file of acpi code.

v2->v3:
 - Test in more conditions, so remove the 'RFC' tag.
 - Change some comments.

v3->v4:
Follow Thomas Gleixner's suggetsion:
 - Put the whole efi related function into #define CONFIG_EFI and return
   false in the other stub.

v4->v5:
Follow Dou Liyang's suggestion:
 - Add more comments about some functions based on kernel code.
 - Change some typo in comments.
 - Clean useless variable.
 - Add check for the boundary of array.
 - Add check for 'movable_node' parameter

v5->v6:
Follow Baoquan He's suggestion:
 - Change some log.
 - Add the check for acpi_rsdp
 - Change some code logical to make code clear

v6->v7:
Follow Rafael's suggestion:
 - Add more comments and patch log.
Follow test robot's suggestion:
 - Add "static" tag for function

v7-v8:
Follow Kees Cook's suggestion:
 - Use mem_overlaps() to check memory region.
 - Use #ifdef in the definition of function.

v8-v9:
Follow Boris' suggestion:
 - Change code style.
 - Splite PATCH 1/3 to more path.
 - Introduce some new function
 - Use existing function to rework some code
Follow Masayoshi's suggetion:
 - Make code more readable

v9->v10:
Follow Baoquan's suggestion:
 - Change some log
 - Merge last two patch together.

v10->v11:
Follow Boris' suggestion:
 - Link kstrtoull() instead of copying it.
 - Drop the useless wraped function.

Any comments will be welcome.
