That will never happen, nor am I suggesting it should. Enabling hibernate or IMA shouldn't be an either-or decision, if at all possible. The main concern is that attestation servers be able to detect hibernation and possibly the loss of measurement history. Luckily, although the PCRs are reset, the TPM pcrUpdateCounter is not. I would appreciate including a "hibernate" marker, similar to the "boot_aggregate". Mimi
