Leftover problem: hpa want to see the physical randomization can cover the whole physical memory. I checked code and found it's hard to do. Because in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_64.S an identity mapping of 4G is built and then kaslr and decompressing are done. The #PF handler solution which he suggested is only available after jump into decompressed kernel, namely in arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S. I didn't think of a way to do the whole memory covering for physical address randomization, any suggestion or idea?
Basically, it means adding an IDT and #PF handler to the decompression code. Not really all that complex.
