This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled arm64: entry: Move the trampoline data page before the text page to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: arm64-entry-move-the-trampoline-data-page-before-the.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8315c0a3b023a68121e6ccd97190dbe85935d055 Author: James Morse <james.morse@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 15 18:24:01 2022 +0000 arm64: entry: Move the trampoline data page before the text page commit c091fb6ae059cda563b2a4d93fdbc548ef34e1d6 upstream. The trampoline code has a data page that holds the address of the vectors, which is unmapped when running in user-space. This ensures that with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, the randomised address of the kernel can't be discovered until after the kernel has been mapped. If the trampoline text page is extended to include multiple sets of vectors, it will be larger than a single page, making it tricky to find the data page without knowing the size of the trampoline text pages, which will vary with PAGE_SIZE. Move the data page to appear before the text page. This allows the data page to be found without knowing the size of the trampoline text pages. 'tramp_vectors' is used to refer to the beginning of the .entry.tramp.text section, do that explicitly.
