I was trying to build the Linux kernel with clang and observed a crash due to incorrect loop optimization: drivers/base/firmware_class.c extern struct builtin_fw __start_builtin_fw[]; extern struct builtin_fw __end_builtin_fw[]; static bool fw_get_builtin_firmware(struct firmware *fw, const char *name) { struct builtin_fw *b_fw; for (b_fw = __start_builtin_fw; b_fw != __end_builtin_fw; b_fw++) { if (strcmp(name, b_fw->name) == 0) { fw->size = b_fw->size; fw->data = b_fw->data; return true; } } return false; } When compiled w...

These patches make the changes necessary to build the kernel as Position Independent Executable (PIE) on x86_64. A PIE kernel can be relocated below the top 2G of the virtual address space. It allows to optionally extend the KASLR randomization range from 1G to 3G. Thanks a lot to Ard Biesheuvel & Kees Cook on their feedback on compiler changes, PIE support and KASLR in general. Thanks to

Changes: - patch v1: - Simplify ftrace implementation. - Use gcc mstack-protector-guard-reg=%gs with PIE when possible. - rfc v3: - Use --emit-relocs instead of -pie to reduce dynamic relocation space on mapped memory. It also simplifies the relocation process. - Move the start the module section next to the kernel. Remove the need for -mcmodel=large on modules. Extends
