Some applications (like GDB and CRIU) would like to tweak CET state via
ptrace. This allows for existing functionality to continue to work for
seized CET applications. Provide an interface based on the xsave buffer
format of CET, but filter unneeded states to make the kernel’s job
easier.

There is already ptrace functionality for accessing xstate, but this
does not include supervisor xfeatures. So there is not a completely
clear place for where to put the CET state. Adding it to the user
xfeatures regset would complicate that code, as it currently shares
logic with signals which should not have supervisor features.

Don’t add a general supervisor xfeature regset like the user one,
because it is better to maintain flexibility for other supervisor
xfeatures to define their own interface. For example, an xfeature may
decide not to expose all of it’s state to userspace. A lot of enum
values remain to be used, so just put it in dedicated CET regset.

The only downside to not having a generic supervisor xfeature regset,
is that apps need to be enlightened of any new supervisor xfeature
exposed this way (i.e. they can’t try to have generic save/restore
logic). But maybe that is a good thing, because they have to think
through each new xfeature instead of encountering issues when new a new
supervisor xfeature was added.

By adding a CET regset, it also has the effect of including the CET state
in a core dump, which could be useful for debugging.

Inside the setter CET regset, filter out invalid state. Today this
includes states disallowed by the HW and states involving Indirect Branch
Tracking which the kernel does not currently support for usersapce.

So this leaves three pieces of data that can be set, shadow stack
enablement, WRSS enablement and the shadow stack pointer. It is worth
noting that this is separate than enabling shadow stack via the
arch_prctl()s. Enabling shadow stack involves more than just flipping the
bit. The kernel is made aware that it has to do extra things when cloning
or handling signals. That logic is triggered off of separate feature
enablement state kept in the task struct. So the flipping on HW shadow
stack enforcement without notifying the kernel to change its behavior
would severely limit what an application could do without crashing. Since
there is likely no use for this, only allow the CET registers to be set
if shadow stack is already enabled via the arch_prctl()s. This will let
apps like GDB toggle shadow stack enforcement for apps that already have
shadow stack enabled, and minimize scenarios the kernel has to worry
about.

v2:
 - Check alignment on ssp.
 - Block IBT bits.
 - Handle init states instead of returning error.
 - Add verbose commit log justifying the design.

Yu-Cheng v12:
 - Return -ENODEV when CET registers are in INIT state.
 - Check reserved/non-support bits from user input.

Eee. Does GDB really need this? Can we make this whole thing
CONFIG-depend on CRIU?

GDB, at least its Intel fork uses this. I don't see how they can jump
between frames without an ability to modify shadow stack contents.

Last I looked they used NT_X86_CET to update SSP and ptrace(POKEDATA) to
write to the shadow stack.

Okay, thanks! I appreciate having specific examples. :)
