[PATCH v4 6/7] LoongArch: Automatically disable kaslr when the kernel loads from kexec_file
Posted by Youling Tang 1 month ago
From: Youling Tang <tangyouling@kylinos.cn>

Automatically disable kaslr when the kernel loads from kexec_file.

kexec_file loads the secondary kernel image to a non-linked address,
inherently providing KASLR-like randomization.

However, on LoongArch where System RAM may be non-contiguous, enabling
KASLR for the second kernel could relocate it to an invalid memory
region and cause boot failure. Thus, we disable KASLR when
"kexec_file" is detected in the command line.

To ensure compatibility with older kernels loaded via kexec_file,
this patch need be backported to stable branches.
