Currently KASLR is enabled on three regions: the direct mapping of physical memory, vamlloc and vmemmap. However EFI region is also mistakenly included for VA space randomization because of misusing EFI_VA_START macro and assuming EFI_VA_START < EFI_VA_END. The EFI region is reserved for EFI runtime services virtual mapping which should not be included in kaslr ranges. It will be re-used by kexec/kdump kernel, the mistake may cause failure when jump to kexec/kdump kernel if vmemmap allocation stomps on the allocated efi mapping region. In Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt, we can see: ffffffef00000000 - fffffffeffffffff (=64 GB) EFI region mapping space EFI use the space from -4G to -64G thus EFI_VA_START > EFI_VA_END Here EFI_VA_START = -4G, and EFI_VA_END = -64G Changing EFI_VA_START to EFI_VA_END in mm/kaslr.c fixes this problem.
