Now system image will perfer to be located to mirrored regions both KASLR
on and off.


Hello Ma Wupeng,

I wonder if we could simplify this as follows:
- ignore the non-KASLR case for now, and rely on the bootloader  > load the image into mirrored memory if it exists;

In grub, memory for static image is allocated via the following path:

grub_cmd_linux
   kernel = grub_malloc(filelen)
   kernel_alloc_addr = grub_efi_allocate_any_pages (kernel_alloc_pages)
   grub_memcpy (kernel_addr, kernel, grub_min(filelen, kernel_size))
    grub_loader_set (grub_linux_boot, grub_linux_unload, 0)

Can we get memory from mirrored region by the following steps:
1. get memory map by calling grub_efi_get_memory_map()
2. iter all memory map to find a suitable mirrored memory area
3. locate kernel image to this area

So, if kaslr is not enabled
  - grub will load kernel into mirrored region
else
  - arm64-stub.c will relocate kernel image to mirrored region

Is this feasible?

Is this a feasible proposal to relocate the static kernel image itself
into more reliable memory?


- simplify the KASLR case to the below.

Yes, we can certainly do this. I will remove my code and use yours.


I think this is reasonable, because it means we take mirrored memory
into account when we decide to move the image anyway, but expect the
boot chain to take care of this if there is no need to move the image.
