From c4fcae9da05ab6f3a926bbf65bcad1ee6ca894f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2019 09:29:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: kaslr: ensure randomized quantities are clean also when kaslr is off Commit b0f672166a27 ("arm64: kaslr: ensure randomized quantities are clean to the PoC") added cache maintenance to ensure that global variables set by the kaslr init routine are not wiped clean due to cache invalidation occurring during the second round of page table creation. However, if kaslr_early_init() exits early with no randomization being applied (either due to the lack of a seed, or because the user has disabled kaslr explicitly), no cache maintenance is performed, leading to the same issue we attempted to fix earlier, as far as the module_alloc_base variable is concerned. Note that module_alloc_base cannot be initialized statically, because that would cause it to be subject to a R_AARCH64_RELATIVE relocation, causing it to be overwritten by the second round of KASLR relocation processing.
