In that case, shouldn't this be CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY? Currently, Kirill added level5 support to x86_64, and kernel with level5 enabled can be boot switched into level4 or level5 with kernel option "no5lvl". So page_offset_base will be changed accordingly. You can see code pasted at bottom, DYNAMIC_MEMORY_LAYOUT is added for this change, not only KASLR, but 5LEVEL. If only put it inside ifdef CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY, change between l4 and l5 will force us to decide page_offset again if CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY or CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is not set. Besides, below commit change the starting address of the direct mapping again, if only judge CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY, in case KASLR is disabled, code in userspace may need many if-else checking as below. So if we pass, better pass it for all. get_page_offset() { if(get_page_offset_from_vmcoreinfo()) { xxx //in KASLR case return; } else if (check_5level_paging()) { if (version < 4.21) { page_offset = 0xff10000000000000; } else //version > = 4.21 { page_offset = 0xff11000000000000; } } else { //4level if (version < 2.6.27) { page_offset = 0xffff810000000000; } else if (version < 4.21) { page_offset = 0xffff880000000000; } else //version > = 4.21 { page_offset = 0xffff888000000000,; } } } Sign, seeing above code, I still think that deducing it from kcore/vmcore elf header is better. Can't we be better to ourselves? commit d52888aa2753e3063a9d3a0c9f72f94aa9809c15 Author: Kirill A.
