Subject: [PATCH v2 02/39] x86/cet/shstk: Add Kconfig option for Shadow Stack

From: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@...el.com>

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.
