* feat(suspend): hardened-only init_on_free=0 + hang-detection cmdlineLibravatar sommerfeld3 days1-0/+1
Split the hardened UKI cmdline off the shared etc/kernel/cmdline.tmpl so we can carry workarounds without poking the stock linux build. Daily-driving linux-hardened on this hardware has reliably hung on resume from S3: black screen, blinking caps-lock + power LED, only the power button helps. The kernel journal stops at 'PM: suspend entry (deep)' with nothing after, so the freeze is below the level where logs can flush — characteristic of a hard hang inside a device driver's suspend/resume callback rather than a userspace bug. linux-hardened defaults init_on_free=1, which zeroes pages on free. On Intel + iwlwifi/i915/nvme stacks this routinely surfaces latent UAFs as suspend hangs that are invisible on stock linux. Drop that knob to 0 for the hardened cmdline as the working hypothesis. Add nmi_watchdog=panic, softlockup_panic=1, panic=10 so if the next attempt still wedges, a stuck CPU self-panics and auto-reboots within ~10s, giving us a 'journalctl -b -1 -k' trace to look at instead of having to force-power-off blindly. Stock linux is untouched.
