I think this is sound, but as Dmitry points out it'll mean we do some
pointless work. For example on arm64 we have:
static inline unsigned long kaslr_offset(void)
{
return kimage_vaddr - KIMAGE_VADDR;
}
... where kimage_vaddr is a global variable, and KIMAGE_VADDR is a
constant (and should be identical for !CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE kernels).
I think it would be reasonable to make that:
static inline unsigned long kaslr_offset(void)
{
if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE))
return 0;
return kimage_vaddr - KIMAGE_VADDR;
}
... and simplify callers as above.
Thanks,
Mark.
