;; Wiping RAM at shutdown to defeat cold boot attacks.
;;
;; RAM wipe is enabled by default on host operating systems, real hardware.
;; RAM wipe is disabled by in virtual machines (VMs).

;; Design documentation:
;; https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Dev/RAM_Wipe
;; RAM wipe is omitted in virtual machines (VMs) by default because it is
;; unclear if that could actually lead to the host operating system using
;; swap. Through use of kernel parameter wiperam=force it is possible to
;; force RAM wipe inside VMs which is useful for testing, development purposes.
;; There is no additional security benefit by the wiperam=force setting
;; for host operating systems.
;;"wiperam=force"
;; Kernel parameter wiperam=skip is provided to support disabling RAM wipe
;; at shutdown, which might be useful to speed up shutdown or in case should
;; there ever be issues.

;;
;; A toggle indicating if the kexec_load syscall has been disabled. This value defaults to 0 (false: kexec_load enabled), but can be set to 1 (true: kexec_load disabled). Once true, kexec can no longer be used, and the toggle cannot be set back to false. This allows a kexec image to be loaded before disabling the syscall, allowing a system to set up (and later use) an image without it being altered. Generally used together with the "modules_disabled" sysctl.
