Subject: [PATCH 21/33] efi/libstub/arm64: Replace 'preferred' offset with alignment check
Date:   Fri, 24 Apr 2020 15:05:19 +0200
Message-Id: <20200424130531.30518-22-ardb@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <20200424130531.30518-1-ardb@kernel.org>

The notion of a 'preferred' load offset for the kernel dates back to the
times when the kernel's primary mapping overlapped with the linear region,
and memory below it could not be used at all.

Today, the arm64 kernel does not really care where it is loaded in physical
memory, as long as the alignment requirements are met, and so there is no
point in unconditionally moving the kernel to a new location in memory at
boot. Instead, we can
- check for a KASLR seed, and randomly reallocate the kernel if one is
  provided
- otherwise, check whether the alignment requirements are met for the
  current placement of the kernel, and just run it in place if they are
- finally, do an ordinary page allocation and reallocate the kernel to a
  suitably aligned buffer anywhere in memory.

By the same reasoning, there is no need to take TEXT_OFFSET into account
if it is a round multiple of the minimum alignment, which is the usual
case for relocatable kernels with TEXT_OFFSET randomization disabled.
Otherwise, it suffices to use the relative misaligment of TEXT_OFFSET
when reallocating the kernel.
