Subject: [PATCH 2/3] efi/loongarch: Randomize kernel preferred address for KASLR
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 18:47:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427104721.47724-3-r@hev.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427104721.47724-1-r@hev.cc>
Introduce efi_get_kimg_kaslr_address() to compute the preferred
kernel image address dynamically when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is
enabled. The function derives a random offset using EFI-provided
randomness combined with the timer value, and constrains it within
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET.
Update EFI_KIMG_PREFERRED_ADDRESS to call this helper so that the
EFI stub can select a randomized load address when KASLR is active,
while preserving the original base address behavior when KASLR is
disabled or nokaslr is specified.
