[PATCH 10/27] uswsusp: Disable when the kernel is locked down

From: Matthew Garrett <hidden>
Date: 2019-03-06 23:59:57
Also in: 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.
