[PATCH] hibernation: on 32-bit x86, disabled in favor of KASLR

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Mar 22 2017 - 20:27:30 EST


This is a modified revert of commit 65fe935dd238 ("x86/KASLR, x86/power:
Remove x86 hibernation restrictions"), since it appears that 32-bit
hibernation still can't support KASLR. 64-bit is fine. Since people have
been running with KASLR by default on 32-bit since v4.8, this disables
hibernation (with a warning). Booting with "nokaslr" will disable KASLR
and enable hibernation.
