The ACPI specification says that OSPM should refuse to restore from hibernate if the hardware signature changes, and should boot from scratch. However, real BIOSes often vary the hardware signature in cases where we *do* want to resume from hibernate, so Linux doesn't follow the spec by default. However, in a virtual environment there's no reason for the VMM to vary the hardware signature *unless* it wants to trigger a clean reboot as defined by the ACPI spec. So enable the check by default if a hypervisor is detected. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
