x86, kaslr: randomize module base load address
Randomize the load address of modules in the kernel to make kASLR
effective for modules. Modules can only be loaded within a particular
range of virtual address space. This patch adds 10 bits of entropy to
the load address by adding 1-1024 * PAGE_SIZE to the beginning range
where modules are loaded.
The single base offset was chosen because randomizing each module
load ends up wasting/fragmenting memory too much. Prior approaches to
minimizing fragmentation while doing randomization tend to result in
worse entropy than just doing a single base address offset.
Example kASLR boot without this change, with a single module loaded:
---[ Modules ]---
0xffffffffc0000000-0xffffffffc0001000 4K ro GLB x pte
0xffffffffc0001000-0xffffffffc0002000 4K ro GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc0002000-0xffffffffc0004000 8K RW GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc0004000-0xffffffffc0200000 2032K pte
0xffffffffc0200000-0xffffffffff000000 1006M pmd
---[ End Modules ]---
Example kASLR boot after this change, same module loaded:
---[ Modules ]---
0xffffffffc0000000-0xffffffffc0200000 2M pmd
0xffffffffc0200000-0xffffffffc03bf000 1788K pte
0xffffffffc03bf000-0xffffffffc03c0000 4K ro GLB x pte
0xffffffffc03c0000-0xffffffffc03c1000 4K ro GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc03c1000-0xffffffffc03c3000 8K RW GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc03c3000-0xffffffffc0400000 244K pte
0xffffffffc0400000-0xffffffffff000000 1004M pmd
---[ End Modules ]---
