Linux kernel source tree
701fb66d57
The Control-Flow Enforcement Technology contains two related features, one of which is Shadow Stacks. Future patches will utilize this feature for shadow stack support in KVM, so add a CPU feature flags for Shadow Stacks (CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 7]). To protect shadow stack state from malicious modification, the registers are only accessible in supervisor mode. This implementation context-switches the registers with XSAVES. Make X86_FEATURE_SHSTK depend on XSAVES. The shadow stack feature, enumerated by the CPUID bit described above, encompasses both supervisor and userspace support for shadow stack. In near future patches, only userspace shadow stack will be enabled. In expectation of future supervisor shadow stack support, create a software CPU capability to enumerate kernel utilization of userspace shadow stack support. This user shadow stack bit should depend on the HW "shstk" capability and that logic will be implemented in future patches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
