This patch adds support for relocating the kernel to a random address. Entropy is derived from the banner, which will change every build and random_get_entropy() which should provide additional runtime entropy. The kernel is relocated by up to RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET bytes from its link address. Because relocation happens so early during the kernel booting, the amount of physical memory has not yet been determined. This means the only way to limit relocation within the available memory is via Kconfig. So we limit the maximum value of RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET to 256M (0x10000000) because our memory layout has many holes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
