      arm64: kill off the libgcc dependency · d67703a8
      Kevin Hao 提交于
      The arm64 kernel builds fine without the libgcc. Actually it should not
      be used at all in the kernel. The following are the reasons indicated
      by Russell King:
      
        Although libgcc is part of the compiler, libgcc is built with the
        expectation that it will be running in userland - it expects to link
        to a libc.  That's why you can't build libgcc without having the glibc
        headers around.
      
        [...]
      
        Meanwhile, having the kernel build the compiler support functions that
        it needs ensures that (a) we know what compiler support functions are
        being used, (b) we know the implementation of those support functions
        are sane for use in the kernel, (c) we can build them with appropriate
        compiler flags for best performance, and (d) we remove an unnecessary
        dependency on the build toolchain.

      arm64: align randomized TEXT_OFFSET on 4 kB boundary · 4190312b
      Ard Biesheuvel 提交于
      When booting via UEFI, the kernel Image is loaded at a 4 kB boundary and
      the embedded EFI stub is executed in place. The EFI stub relocates the
      Image to reside TEXT_OFFSET bytes above a 2 MB boundary, and jumps into
      the kernel proper.
      
      In AArch64, PC relative symbol references are emitted using adrp/add or
      adrp/ldr pairs, where the offset into a 4 kB page is resolved using a
      separate :lo12: relocation. This implicitly assumes that the code will
      always be executed at the same relative offset with respect to a 4 kB
      boundary, or the references will point to the wrong address.
      
      This means we should link the kernel at a 4 kB aligned base address in
      order to remain compatible with the base address the UEFI loader uses
      when doing the initial load of Image. So update the code that generates
      TEXT_OFFSET to choose a multiple of 4 kB.
      
      At the same time, update the code so it chooses from the interval [0..2MB)
      as the author originally intended.

      efi: efistub: Convert into static library · f4f75ad5
      Ard Biesheuvel 提交于
      This patch changes both x86 and arm64 efistub implementations
      from #including shared .c files under drivers/firmware/efi to
      building shared code as a static library.
      
      The x86 code uses a stub built into the boot executable which
      uncompresses the kernel at boot time. In this case, the library is
      linked into the decompressor.
      
      In the arm64 case, the stub is part of the kernel proper so the library
      is linked into the kernel proper as well.

      arm64: Enable TEXT_OFFSET fuzzing · da57a369
      Mark Rutland 提交于
      The arm64 Image header contains a text_offset field which bootloaders
      are supposed to read to determine the offset (from a 2MB aligned "start
      of memory" per booting.txt) at which to load the kernel. The offset is
      not well respected by bootloaders at present, and due to the lack of
      variation there is little incentive to support it. This is unfortunate
      for the sake of future kernels where we may wish to vary the text offset
      (even zeroing it).
      
      This patch adds options to arm64 to enable fuzz-testing of text_offset.
      CONFIG_ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET forces the text offset to a random
      16-byte aligned value value in the range [0..2MB) upon a build of the
      kernel. It is recommended that distribution kernels enable randomization
      to test bootloaders such that any compliance issues can be fixed early.
