H A Dkaslr_booke.c6a38ea1d Fri Sep 20 04:45:41 CDT 2019 Jason Yan <yanaijie@huawei.com> powerpc/fsl_booke/32: randomize the kernel image offset

After we have the basic support of relocate the kernel in some
appropriate place, we can start to randomize the offset now.

Entropy is derived from the banner and timer, which will change every
build and boot. This not so much safe so additionally the bootloader may
pass entropy via the /chosen/kaslr-seed node in device tree.

We will use the first 512M of the low memory to randomize the kernel
image. The memory will be split in 64M zones. We will use the lower 8
bit of the entropy to decide the index of the 64M zone. Then we chose a
16K aligned offset inside the 64M zone to put the kernel in.

We also check if we will overlap with some areas like the dtb area, the
initrd area or the crashkernel area. If we cannot find a proper area,
kaslr will be disabled and boot from the original kernel.

Some pieces of code are derived from arch/x86/boot/compressed/kaslr.c or
arch/arm64/kernel/kaslr.c such as rotate_xor(). Credit goes to Kees and
Ard.
