arm64: KVM: Introduce EL2 VA randomisation
The main idea behind randomising the EL2 VA is that we usually have
a few spare bits between the most significant bit of the VA mask
and the most significant bit of the linear mapping.
Those bits could be a bunch of zeroes, and could be useful
to move things around a bit. Of course, the more memory you have,
the less randomisation you get...
Alternatively, these bits could be the result of KASLR, in which
case they are already random. But it would be nice to have a
*different* randomization, just to make the job of a potential
attacker a bit more difficult.
Inserting these random bits is a bit involved. We don't have a spare
register (short of rewriting all the kern_hyp_va call sites), and
the immediate we want to insert is too random to be used with the
ORR instruction. The best option I could come up with is the following
sequence:
and x0, x0, #va_mask
ror x0, x0, #first_random_bit
add x0, x0, #(random & 0xfff)
add x0, x0, #(random >> 12), lsl #12
ror x0, x0, #(63 - first_random_bit)
making it a fairly long sequence, but one that a decent CPU should
be able to execute without breaking a sweat. It is of course NOPed
out on VHE. The last 4 instructions can also be turned into NOPs
if it appears that there is no free bits to use.
