Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

arm64: Set __nocfi on swsusp_arch_resume()

A DABT is reported[1] on an android based system when resume from hiberate.

This happens because swsusp_arch_suspend_exit() is marked with SYM_CODE_*()

and does not have a CFI hash, but swsusp_arch_resume() will attempt to

verify the CFI hash when calling a copy of swsusp_arch_suspend_exit().

Given that there's an existing requirement that the entrypoint to

swsusp_arch_suspend_exit() is the first byte of the .hibernate_exit.text

section, we cannot fix this by marking swsusp_arch_suspend_exit() with

SYM_FUNC_*(). The simplest fix for now is to disable the CFI check in

swsusp_arch_resume().

Mark swsusp_arch_resume() as __nocfi to disable the CFI check.
