[v8,02/40] x86/shstk: Add Kconfig option for shadow stack

Commit Message

Rick Edgecombe March 19, 2023, 12:14 a.m. UTC

Shadow stack provides protection for applications against function return
address corruption. It is active when the processor supports it, the
kernel has CONFIG_X86_SHADOW_STACK enabled, and the application is built
for the feature. This is only implemented for the 64-bit kernel. When it
is enabled, legacy non-shadow stack applications continue to work, but
without protection.

Since there is another feature that utilizes CET (Kernel IBT) that will
share implementation with shadow stacks, create CONFIG_CET to signify
that at least one CET feature is configured.

v5:
 - Remove capitalization of shadow stack (Boris)

v3:
 - Add X86_CET (Kees)
 - Add back WRUSS dependency (Kees)
 - Fix verbiage (Dave)
 - Change from promt to bool (Kirill)
 - Add more to commit log

v2:
