+ Guarded Control Stack (GCS) provides support for a separate
+ stack with restricted access which contains only return
+ addresses. This can be used to harden against some attacks
+ by comparing return address used by the program with what is
+ stored in the GCS, and may also be used to efficiently obtain
+ the call stack for applications such as profiling.
+
+ The feature is detected at runtime, and will remain disabled
+ if the system does not implement the feature.
