Subject: [PATCH v2] kaslr: allow kASLR to be default over Hibernation
Since kASLR and Hibernation can not currently coexist at runtime
on x86, the default behavior was to disable kASLR by default when
CONFIG_HIBERNATION was present (to retain original behavior).
The behavior of kASLR on arm64 (and soon MIPS) is to be enabled by
default when selected at build time. Since arm64 Hibernation does not
conflict with kASLR, this fixes the hibernation argument parsing to be
x86-specific. Additionally, since end users want to be able to select
kASLR on x86 by default at build time, create CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_ON
that is present only on x86.
Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

v2:
- make this x86-specific selectable, rather than global default
