====== POINTER LEAKS ======
-- Change the permissions of /dev/ksyms, as discussed in:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2018/01/17/msg022960.html
-- The address of a non-public section is leaked because of Meltdown,
"jmp handler". This can easily be fixed by pushing the handlers into
their own section.
-- Replace the "%p" fmt by something relative to the kernel section (if
any). Eg, from
printf("%p", &some_global_var); --> "0xffffffffe38010f0"
to
printf("%p", &some_global_var); --> ".data.4:0x8010f0"
This eases debugging and also prevents leaks if a driver prints
kernel addresses as debug (I've seen that already).
-- PPPoE sends a kernel address as host unique. (What is this shit.)
-- "netstat -nat" leaks kernel addresses.
-- Investigate some other tools.
-- Be careful with dmesg.
====== RANDOMIZATION ======
-- Randomize the PTE space.
-- Randomize the kernel main memory (VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS).
-- Randomize the direct map.
-- Randomize the PCPU area.
====== GENERAL ======
-- Sort the kernel sections by size, from largest to smallest, to save
memory.
-- Add the "pkboot" command in the EFI bootloader.
