The system sometimes crashes while memory hot-adding on KASLR enabled system. The crash happens because the regions pointed by kaslr_regions[].base are overwritten by the hot-added memory.
It happens because of the padding size for kaslr_regions[].base isn't enough for the system whose physical memory layout has huge space for memory hotplug. kaslr_regions[].base points "actual installed memory size + padding" or higher address. So, if the "actual + padding" is lower address than the maximum memory address, which means the memory address reachable by memory hot-add, kaslr_regions[].base is destroyed by the overwritten.
address ^ |------- maximum memory address (Hotplug) | ^ |------- kaslr_regions[0].base | Hotadd-able region | ^ | | | padding | | V V |------- actual memory address (Installed on boot) |
Fix it by getting the maximum memory address from SRAT and store the value in boot_param, then set the padding size while KASLR initializing if the default padding size isn't enough.
Masayoshi Mizuma (5): x86/boot: Wrap up the SRAT traversing code into subtable_parse() x86/boot: Add max_addr field in struct boot_params x86/boot: Get the max address from SRAT x86/mm/KASLR: Cleanup calculation for direct mapping size x86/mm/KASLR: Adjust the padding size for the direct mapping.
