From: Kairui Song <kas...@tencent.com>
Since kernel commit 14c127c957c1 ('arm64: mm: Flip kernel VA space'),
the memory layout on arm64 have changed, and kexec-tools can no longer
get the the right PAGE_OFFSET based on _text symbol.
Prior to that, the kimage (_text) lays above PAGE_END with this layout:
0 -> VA_START : Usespace
VA_START -> VA_START + 256M : BPF JIT, Modules
VA_START + 256M -> PAGE_OFFSET - (~GB misc) : Vmalloc (KERNEL _text HERE)
PAGE_OFFSET -> ... : * Linear map *
And here we have:
VA_START = -1UL << VA_BITS
PAGE_OFFSET = -1UL << (VA_BITS - 1)
_text < -1UL << (VA_BITS - 1)
Kernel image lays somewhere between VA_START and PAGE_OFFSET, so we just
calc VA_BITS by getting the highest unset bit of _text symbol address,
and shift one less bit of VA_BITS to get page offset. This works as long
as KASLR don't put kernel in a too high location (which is commented inline).
And after that commit, kernel layout have changed:
0 -> PAGE_OFFSET : Userspace
PAGE_OFFSET -> PAGE_END : * Linear map *
PAGE_END -> PAGE_END + 128M : bpf jit region
PAGE_END + 128M -> PAGE_END + 256MB : modules
PAGE_END + 256M -> ... : vmalloc (KERNEL _text HERE)
Here we have:
PAGE_OFFSET = -1UL << VA_BITS
PAGE_END = -1UL << (VA_BITS - 1)
_text > -1UL << (VA_BITS - 1)
Kernel image now lays above PAGE_END, so we have to shift one more bit to
get the VA_BITS, and shift the exact VA_BITS for PAGE_OFFSET.
We can simply check if "_text > -1UL << (VA_BITS - 1)" is true to judge
which layout is being used and shift the page offset occordingly.
