My proposed patch [1] is useful only for EFI environment. The patch
allocates a setup_date structure by efi_call_early() and store the
KASLR data into the memory area.
+static void setup_kaslr(struct boot_params *params)
+{
+ struct setup_data *kaslr_data = NULL;
+ struct setup_data *data;
+ unsigned long size;
+ efi_status_t status;
+
+ size = sizeof(struct setup_data) + sizeof(unsigned long long);
+
+ status = efi_call_early(allocate_pool, EFI_LOADER_DATA,
+ size, (void **)&kaslr_data);
I'm not sure how I allocate such memory on no EFI environment.
Am I missing something...?
