Linux kernel: Android systems may crash when resuming from hibernation

CVE-2026-23128
Summary

A bug in the Linux kernel could cause Android devices to crash when resuming from hibernation mode. This issue has been fixed, and no action is required for most users. However, if you're an Android device manufacturer or developer, you may need to update your kernel to the fixed version.

Original 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.
