Update the allocation logic for the virtual mapping of the UEFI runtime services to start from a randomized base address if KASLR is in effect, and if the UEFI firmware exposes an implementation of EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL. This makes it more difficult to predict the location of exploitable data structures in the runtime UEFI firmware, which increases robustness against attacks. Note that these regions are only mapped during the time a runtime service call is in progress, and only on a single CPU at a time, bit given the lack of a downside, let's enable it nonetheless.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
