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.

[[email protected]: commit log updated by Mark Rutland]
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel on arm64 systems with Control Flow Integrity (CFI) enabled. During hibernate resume, the swsusp_arch_resume() function attempts to verify a CFI hash when calling swsusp_arch_suspend_exit(), which is marked as SYM_CODE and lacks a CFI hash. This causes a data abort (DABT) and kernel crash when resuming from hibernation, resulting in a failed resume operation.
