x86/kaslr: Reduce KASLR entropy on most x86 systems
[ Upstream commit 7ffb791423c7c518269a9aad35039ef824a40adb ]
When CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA=y (which is basically enabled on all
large x86 distros), it maps the PFN's via a ZONE_DEVICE
mapping using devm_memremap_pages(). The mapped virtual
address range corresponds to the pci_resource_start()
of the BAR address and size corresponding to the BAR length.
When KASLR is enabled, the direct map range of the kernel is
reduced to the size of physical memory plus additional padding.
If the BAR address is beyond this limit, PCI peer to peer DMA
mappings fail.
Fix this by not shrinking the size of the direct map when
CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA=y.
This reduces the total available entropy, but it's better than
the current work around of having to disable KASLR completely.
