Subject: [PATCH v4 6/7] LoongArch: Automatically disable kaslr when the kernel loads from kexec_file
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2025 11:00:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250903030100.196744-7-youling.tang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250903030100.196744-1-youling.tang@linux.dev>
From: Youling Tang <tangyouling@kylinos.cn>
Automatically disable kaslr when the kernel loads from kexec_file.
kexec_file loads the secondary kernel image to a non-linked address,
inherently providing KASLR-like randomization.
However, on LoongArch where System RAM may be non-contiguous, enabling
KASLR for the second kernel could relocate it to an invalid memory
region and cause boot failure. Thus, we disable KASLR when
"kexec_file" is detected in the command line.
To ensure compatibility with older kernels loaded via kexec_file,
this patch need be backported to stable branches.
