Depending on !CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS will totally disable
RANDOMIZE_BASE according to arch/arm64/Kconfig:
config RANDOMIZE_BASE
bool "Randomize the address of the kernel image"
select ARM64_MODULE_PLTS if MODULES
select RELOCATABLE
Depending on !RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL seems to be still
allowing RANDOMIZE_BASE via avoiding long jump according to:
arch/arm64/Kconfig:
config RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL
bool "Randomize the module region over a 4 GB range"
depends on RANDOMIZE_BASE
default y
help
Randomizes the location of the module region inside a 4 GB window
covering the core kernel. This way, it is less likely for modules
to leak information about the location of core kernel data structures
but it does imply that function calls between modules and the core
kernel will need to be resolved via veneers in the module PLT.
When this option is not set, the module region will be randomized over
a limited range that contains the [_stext, _etext] interval of the
core kernel, so branch relocations are always in range.
and
arch/arm64/kernel/kaslr.c:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL)) {
/*
* Randomize the module region over a 2 GB window covering the
* kernel. This reduces the risk of modules leaking information
* about the address of the kernel itself, but results in
* branches between modules and the core kernel that are
* resolved via PLTs. (Branches between modules will be
* resolved normally.)
*/
module_range = SZ_2G - (u64)(_end - _stext);
module_alloc_base = max((u64)_end + offset - SZ_2G,
(u64)MODULES_VADDR);
} else {
/*
* Randomize the module region by setting module_alloc_base to
* a PAGE_SIZE multiple in the range [_etext - MODULES_VSIZE,
* _stext) . This guarantees that the resulting region still
* covers [_stext, _etext], and that all relative branches can
* be resolved without veneers.
*/
module_range = MODULES_VSIZE - (u64)(_etext - _stext);
module_alloc_base = (u64)_etext + offset - MODULES_VSIZE;
}
So depending on ! ARM64_MODULE_PLTS seems to narrow the scenarios
while depending on ! RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL permit more
machines to use optprobe.
I am not quite sure I am 100% right but tests seem to back this.
hopefully Catalin and Will can correct me.

As far as I can tell, this is still related with the 128MB
short jump limitation.
VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END is an fixed virtual address area
which isn't necessarily modules will be put.
So this patch is moving to module_alloc() which will get
memory between module_alloc_base and module_alloc_end.
Together with depending on !RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL,
this makes all kernel, module and trampoline in short
jmp area.
As long as we can figure out a way to support long jmp
for optprobe, the change in alloc_insn_page() can be
dropped.
Masami, any reference code from any platform to support long
jump for optprobe? For long jmp, we need to put jmp address
to a memory and then somehow load the target address
to PC. Right now, we are able to replace an instruction
only. That is the problem.
Thanks
