We currently have to rely on the GCC large code model for KASLR for two distinct but related reasons: - if we enable full randomization, modules will be loaded very far away from the core kernel, where they are out of range for ADRP instructions, - even without full randomization, the fact that the 128 MB module region is now no longer fully reserved for kernel modules means that there is a very low likelihood that the normal bottom-up allocation of other vmalloc regions may collide, and use up the range for other things. Large model code is suboptimal, given that each symbol reference involves a literal load that goes through the D-cache, reducing cache utilization. But more importantly, literals are not instructions but part of .text nonetheless, and hence mapped with executable permissions. So let's get rid of our dependency on the large model for KASLR, by: - reducing the full randomization range to 4 GB, thereby ensuring that ADRP references between modules and the kernel are always in range, - reduce the spillover range to 4 GB as well, so that we fallback to a region that is still guaranteed to be in range - move the randomization window of the core kernel to the middle of the VMALLOC space Note that KASAN always uses the module region outside of the vmalloc space, so keep the kernel close to that if KASAN is enabled.
