Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] AARCH64: Add gcc Shadow Call Stack support

Shadow call stack is available in GCC > 11.2.0, this patch makes
the corresponding kernel configuration available when compiling
the kernel with gcc.

Note that the implementation in GCC is slightly different from Clang.
With SCS enabled, functions will only pop x30 once in the epilogue,
like:

   str     x30, [x18], #8
   stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
   ......
-  ldp     x29, x30, [sp], #16	  //clang
+  ldr     x29, [sp], #16	  //GCC
   ldr     x30, [x18, #-8]!

FYI:
This function can be used to test if the shadow call stack works:
//noinline void __noscs scs_test(void)
noinline void scs_test(void)
{
    register unsigned long *sp asm("sp");
    unsigned long * lr = sp + 1;

    asm volatile("":::"x30");
    *lr = 0;
}

ffff800008012708:       f800865e        str     x30, [x18], #8
ffff80000801270c:       a9bf7bfd        stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
ffff800008012710:       910003fd        mov     x29, sp
ffff800008012714:       910003e0        mov     x0, sp
ffff800008012718:       f900041f        str     xzr, [x0, #8]
ffff80000801271c:       f85f8e5e        ldr     x30, [x18, #-8]!
ffff800008012720:       f84107fd        ldr     x29, [sp], #16
ffff800008012724:       d50323bf        autiasp
ffff800008012728:       d65f03c0        ret

If SCS protection is enabled, this function will return normally.
If the function has __noscs attribute (scs disabled), it will crash due to 0
address access.
