[v2,24/27] riscv: create a config for shadow stack and landing pad instr support

Commit Message

Deepak Gupta March 29, 2024, 4:44 a.m. UTC

This patch creates a config for shadow stack support and landing pad instr
support. Shadow stack support and landing instr support can be enabled by
selecting `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI`. Selecting `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI` wires
up path to enumerate CPU support and if cpu support exists, kernel will support
cpu assisted user mode cfi.

+	  Provides CPU assisted control flow integrity to userspace tasks.
+	  Control flow integrity is provided by implementing shadow stack for
+	  backward edge and indirect branch tracking for forward edge in program.
+	  Shadow stack protection is a hardware feature that detects function
+	  return address corruption. This helps mitigate ROP attacks.
+	  Indirect branch tracking enforces that all indirect branches must land
+	  on a landing pad instruction else CPU will fault. This mitigates against
+	  JOP / COP attacks. Applications must be enabled to use it, and old user-
+	  space does not get protection "for free".
