KASLR for Freescale BookE32
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
The word KASLR stands for Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization.
|
||||
|
||||
This document tries to explain the implementation of the KASLR for
|
||||
Freescale BookE32. KASLR is a security feature that deters exploit
|
||||
attempts relying on knowledge of the location of kernel internals.
|
||||
|
||||
Since CONFIG_RELOCATABLE has already supported, what we need to do is
|
||||
map or copy kernel to a proper place and relocate. Freescale Book-E
|
||||
parts expect lowmem to be mapped by fixed TLB entries(TLB1). The TLB1
|
||||
entries are not suitable to map the kernel directly in a randomized
|
||||
region, so we chose to copy the kernel to a proper place and restart to
|
||||
relocate.
|
||||
|
||||
Entropy is derived from the banner and timer base, which will change every
|
||||
build and boot. This not so much safe so additionally the bootloader may
|
||||
pass entropy via the /chosen/kaslr-seed node in device tree.
|
||||
|
||||
We will use the first 512M of the low memory to randomize the kernel
|
||||
image. The memory will be split in 64M zones. We will use the lower 8
|
||||
bit of the entropy to decide the index of the 64M zone. Then we chose a
|
||||
16K aligned offset inside the 64M zone to put the kernel in::
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|

kernstart_virt_addr
|
||||
|
||||
To enable KASLR, set CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE = y. If KASLR is enable and you
|
||||
want to disable it at runtime, add "nokaslr" to the kernel cmdline.
