Hello Mikhail, Philipp and Gerald,
For the first time today I'm testing a 5.2.0-0.rc1 kernel that has
been configured with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y, and I have verified
that it runs live using the KERNELOFFSET value from the /proc/kcore
VMCOREINFO as the --kalsr argument.
For live system analysis, it seems that the existing kaslr
code in symbols.c should be able to calculate the offset
by comparing the _stext values from /proc/kallsyms and the
the vmlinux file. But obviously it doesn't, although I
haven't investigate why not.
Also, I can't create a kdump dumpfile, so I can't test that,
so it's not clear whether the initial patchset also requires
the -kaslr argument for vmcores?
Anyway, are you guys planning to post a follow-on patch to make
things work automagically both live and with kdumps?
Thanks,
Dave
