Shadow Stack provides protection 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.

v2:
 - Remove already wrong kernel size increase info (tlgx)
 - Change prompt to remove "Intel" (tglx)
 - Update line about what CPUs are supported (Dave)

Yu-cheng v25:
 - Remove X86_CET and use X86_SHADOW_STACK directly.

Yu-cheng v24:
 - Update for the splitting X86_CET to X86_SHADOW_STACK and X86_IBT.

Hm. Shouldn't ARCH_HAS_SHADOW_STACK definition be in arch/Kconfig, not
under arch/x86?

Also, I think "def_bool n" has the same meaning as just "bool", no?

Maybe just

	bool "X86 Shadow Stack"

?

I hope we can switch this to "default y" soon, given it's a hardware
feature that is disabled at runtime when not available.

Doesn't this depend on AS_WRUSS too?

Otherwise, I don't see anything else using OCNFIG_AS_WRUSS:

$ git grep AS_WRUSS
arch/x86/Kconfig.assembler:config AS_WRUSS

Is this help text up to date?  It seems a bit at odds with the series title.

Arg, yes. This patch got screwed up when I converted it back and forth
for the KVM series.

Hmm, yes. Not sure on this. I'm inclined to leave it as is for now.

Yes, this got messed up when this patch went to and from the CET KVM
series.

Thanks!

Yep, will change it. Thanks.

Please remove all "CET", "cet", etc strings from the text as that is
confusing. We should use either shadow stack or IBT and not CET.

> +config ARCH_HAS_SHADOW_STACK

Do I see it correctly that this thing is needed only once in
show_smap_vma_flags()?

If so, can we do a arch_show_smap_vma_flags(), call it at the end of
former function and avoid adding yet another Kconfig symbol?

Thx.

Good point, I'll remove it. Thanks.

Yea, I was thinking to maybe just change it to
CONFIG_X86_USER_SHADOW_STACK in show_smap_vma_flags(). In that function
there is already CONFIG_ARM64_BTI and CONFIG_ARM64_MTE.

I'm not sure if there is any aversion to having arch CONFIGs in core
code, but it's kind of nice to have all of the potentially conflicting
strings in once place.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. :-)

Yeah, ok.

I guess you can do the CONFIG_X86_USER_SHADOW_STACK thing for the sake
of simplicity. We have *waaay* too many Kconfig symbols and we should
introduce only the least amount of new ones.

Thx.
