x86/mm: Enable KASLR for physical mapping memory regions
Add the physical mapping in the list of randomized memory regions. The physical memory mapping holds most allocations from boot and heap allocators. Knowing the base address and physical memory size, an attacker can deduce the PDE virtual address for the vDSO memory page. This attack was demonstrated at CanSecWest 2016, in the following presentation: "Getting Physical: Extreme Abuse of Intel Based Paged Systems": https://github.com/n3k/CansecWest2016_Getting_Physical_Extreme_Abuse_of_Intel_Based_Paging_Systems/blob/master/Presentation/CanSec2016_Presentation.pdf (See second part of the presentation). The exploits used against Linux worked successfully against 4.6+ but fail with KASLR memory enabled: https://github.com/n3k/CansecWest2016_Getting_Physical_Extreme_Abuse_of_Intel_Based_Paging_Systems/tree/master/Demos/Linux/exploits Similar research was done at Google leading to this patch proposal. Variants exists to overwrite /proc or /sys objects ACLs leading to elevation of privileges. These variants were tested against 4.6+. The page offset used by the compressed kernel retains the static value since it is not yet randomized during this boot stage.
