The mapping of the kernel consist of four segments, each of which is mapped with different permission attributes and/or lifetimes. To optimize the TLB and translation table footprint, we define various opaque constants in the linker script that resolve to different aligment values depending on the page size and whether CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is set. Considering that - a 4 KB granule kernel benefits from a 64 KB segment alignment (due to the fact that it allows the use of the contiguous bit), - the minimum alignment of the .data segment is THREAD_SIZE already, not PAGE_SIZE (i.e., we already have padding between _data and the start of the .data payload in many cases), - 2 MB is a suitable alignment value on all granule sizes, either for mapping directly (level 2 on 4 KB), or via the contiguous bit (level 3 on 16 KB and 64 KB), - anything beyond 2 MB exceeds the minimum alignment mandated by the boot protocol, and can only be mapped efficiently if the physical alignment happens to be the same, we can simplify this by standardizing on 64 KB (or 2 MB) explicitly, i.e., regardless of granule size, all segments are aligned either to 64 KB, or to 2 MB if CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y. This also means we can drop the Kconfig dependency of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA on CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES.

|

Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a
|
|
debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
|
|
who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
|

It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production

kernel.

config PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR

bool "Write the current PID to the CONTEXTIDR register"
|
|
help
|
|
Enabling this option causes the kernel to write the current PID to
|
|
the CONTEXTIDR register, at the expense of some additional
|
|
instructions during context switch. Say Y here only if you are
|
|
planning to use hardware trace tools with this kernel.

bool "Randomize TEXT_OFFSET at build time"
|
|
help
|
|
Say Y here if you want the image load offset (AKA TEXT_OFFSET)
|
|
of the kernel to be randomized at build-time. When selected,
|
|
this option will cause TEXT_OFFSET to be randomized upon any
|
|
build of the kernel, and the offset will be reflected in the
|
|
text_offset field of the resulting Image. This can be used to
|
|
fuzz-test bootloaders which respect text_offset.
|
|
|
|
This option is intended for bootloader and/or kernel testing
|
|
only. Bootloaders must make no assumptions regarding the value
|
|
of TEXT_OFFSET and platforms must not require a specific
|
|
value.

help
|

This option helps catch unintended modifications to loadable
|
|
kernel module's text and read-only data. It also prevents execution
|
|
of module data. Such protection may interfere with run-time code
|
|
patching and dynamic kernel tracing - and they might also protect
|
|
against certain classes of kernel exploits.
|
|
If in doubt, say "N".

If this is set, kernel text and rodata will be made read-only. This

bool "Align linker sections up to SECTION_SIZE"
|
|
help
|
|
If this option is enabled, sections that may potentially be marked as
|
|
read only or non-executable will be aligned up to the section size of
|
|
the kernel. This prevents sections from being split into pages and
|
|
avoids a potential TLB penalty. The downside is an increase in
|
|
alignment and potentially wasted space. Turn on this option if
|
|
performance is more important than memory pressure.
