Subject: [PATCH] x86/KASLR: remove x86 hibernation restrictions
Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 15:10:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160613221002.GA29719@www.outflux.net> (raw)

With the commit "Fix 64-bit code passing control to image kernel", there
is no longer a problem with hibernation resuming a KASLR-booted kernel
image.
