After analyzing, it's because that 1 GB page mapping need be mapped at 1 GB aligned physical address for intel CPU. The 2 MB level of randomization will break it and cause error. Please check below table in intel IA32 manual. Table 4-15. Format of an IA-32e Page-Directory-Pointer-Table Entry (PDPTE) that Maps a 1-GByte Page So PMD level of randomization for mm KASLR is not doable. However, during investigation and testing above code, it turns out that the current code is misleading to build identity mapping for the real mode trampoline in case KASLR enabled. From code, only a small area (which is smaller than 1 MB) need be identity mapped. Please check below patch which is from above mm-kaslr-2m-aligned patch series. it only builds up 2 MB identity maping for real mode trampoline, and test passed on machines with 32 GB RAM of 4-level and on KVM guest of 5-level. https://github.com/baoquan-he/linux/commit/e120e67fbf9a5aa818d20084d8dea5b4a27ecf97 Result: Make a patchset to: 1)change code to only build 1 GB of area for real mode trampoline, namely only copy one PUD entry where physical address 0 resides; 2)improve the randomization granularity of 5-level from P4D size to PUD size.
