4 Subject: [PATCH 101/454] ARM64: Enable Kernel Address Space Randomization
5 (#1792)
6
7 Randomization allows the mapping between virtual addresses and physical
8 address to be different on each boot. This makes it more difficult
9 to exploit security vulnerabilities that require knowledge of fixed
10 hardware addresses.
11
12 The firmware generates a 8 byte random number during bootup and stores
13 it in the device tree under chosen/kaslr-seed. This number is used
14 to randomize the address mapping.
15
16 This change enables this feature in the build configuration for ARM64.
