Subject: [PATCH v15 05/26] x86/cet/shstk: Add Kconfig option for user-mode Shadow Stack

Shadow Stack provides protection against function return address
corruption.  It is active when the processor supports it, the kernel has
CONFIG_X86_SHADOW_STACK_USER, 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.

+	  Shadow Stacks provides protection against program stack
+	  corruption.  It's a hardware feature.  This only matters
+	  if you have the right hardware.  It's a security hardening
+	  feature and apps must be enabled to use it.  You get no
+	  protection "for free" on old userspace.  The hardware can
+	  support user and kernel, but this option is for user space
+	  only.
+	  Support for this feature is only known to be present on
+	  processors released in 2020 or later.  CET features are also
+	  known to increase kernel text size by 3.7 KB.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
