[PATCH 08/24] uswsusp: Disable when the kernel is locked down

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
Date: 2018-04-11 16:25:35
Also in: linux-man, linux-security-module, lkml
Subsystem: hibernation (aka software suspend, aka swsusp), suspend to ram, the rest · Maintainers: "Rafael J. Wysocki", Linus Torvalds

From: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>

uswsusp allows a user process to dump and then restore kernel state, which
makes it possible to modify the running kernel.  Disable this if the kernel
is locked down.
