When pseudo-NMI is enabled the DAIF.IF bits\nwill be clear, and regardless of pseudo-NMI the DAIF.DA bits will be\nclear.\n\nThis means that there are two problems:\n\n(1) It is possible to take Debug, SError, or pseudo-NMI exceptions\n    during the resume process. This is unsafe, as during the resume\n    process both the old ane new kernels will tranisently be in an\n    inconsistent state, and swsusp_arch_suspend_exit() won't retain\n    an executable mapping of any exception vectors.\n\n    Any exception taken here will be fatal and silent.\n\n(2) When re-entering the resumed kernel, some DAIF bits will be clear\n    unexpectedly. This permits Debug, SError, or pseudo-NMI exceptions\n    to be taken for a short period while the resumed kernel is not yet\n    in a consistent state.\n\n    This is detected by CONFIG_ARM64_DEBUG_PRIORITY_MASKING.\n\nAvoid these issues by masking all DAIF exceptions during resume.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
