Here it is...
Thanks for providing the data. It did not pinpoint the issue but at least
it gave me the hint to look into the right direction.

Does the patch below fix the issue for you? It's untested as I'm at home
and have no access to a 32bit machine right now.

Thanks,

Subject: x86/cpu_entry_area: Sync cpu_entry_area to initial_page_table
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2018 21:14:26 +0100

The separation of the cpu_entry_area from the fixmap missed the fact that
on 32bit non-PAE kernels the cpu_entry_area mapping might not be covered in
initial_page_table by the previous synchronizations.

This results in suspend/resume failures because 32bit utilizes initial page
table for resume. The absence of the cpu_entry_area mapping results in a
triple fault, aka. insta reboot.

Synchronize the initial page table after setting up the cpu entry
area. Instead of adding yet another copy of the same code, move it to a
function and invoke it from the various places.

It needs to be investigated if the existing calls in setup_arch() and
setup_per_cpu_areas() can be replaced by the later invocation from
setup_cpu_entry_areas(), but that's beyond the scope of this fix.

Thanks for the patch, good news, it did fix the problem.
I did 2 builds and both worked OK over the s2ram cycle.

It will be necessary to add the patch to 4.15-stable and 4.14-stable, I believe that both have now broken s2ram.

I will build tomorrow 4.15 and 4.14 with your patch and try it out - the patch seems to apply OK to 4.15.7 and 4.14.23...

Thanks, Woody
