[PATCH v2] ARM: imx: Fix suspend/resume crash with Clang CFI
Posted by Yo'av Moshe 6 days, 18 hours ago
Relocated suspend code in OCRAM lacks compiler-generated CFI type
signatures. When CONFIG_CFI=y is active, the indirect call to
imx6_suspend_in_ocram_fn triggers a strict CFI violation panic.

Annotate imx6q_suspend_finish with __nocfi to bypass CFI checking
for this specific indirect call.

Additionally, protect the imx6_suspend_in_ocram_fn pointer by marking
it __ro_after_init to prevent it from being used as a CFI bypass
exploit vector.

Tested on a Kobo Clara HD (i.MX6SLL SoC) running postmarketOS edge. 
Before this patch, suspending the device caused an immediate silent 
hang requiring a hard-reboot. With this patch applied, suspend and 
resume work successfully.

Differences from v1:
- Added __ro_after_init to imx6_suspend_in_ocram_fn to prevent it
  from being exploited as a CFI bypass gadget.
