On 1.12.2020 23.45, Topi Miettinen wrote:
Memory mappings inside kernel allocated with vmalloc() are in
predictable order and packed tightly toward the low addresses. With
new kernel boot parameter 'randomize_vmalloc=1', the entire area is
used randomly to make the allocations less predictable and harder to
guess for attackers.

Without randomize_vmalloc=1:

Does not work so well after all:

I suppose the random address happened to be too near 'vend' and no suitable block was found. Perhaps the search in __alloc_vmap_area() should then continue at 'vstart' instead (so __alloc_vmap_area() would be passed all three of vstart, voffset, vend instead of just vstart+voffset, vend).

This also seems to randomize module addresses. I was going to check that next, so nice surprise!
