Subject[PATCH v16 02/26] x86/cet/shstk: Add Kconfig option for user-mode control-flow protection
Date
Shadow Stack provides protection against function return address
corruption. It is active when the processor supports it, the kernel has
CONFIG_X86_CET_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.

+ Control-flow protection is a hardware security hardening feature
+ that detects function-return address or jump target changes by
+ malicious code. Applications must be enabled to use it, and old
+ userspace does not get protection "for free".
+ Support for this feature is present on processors released in
+ 2020 or later. Enabling this feature increases kernel text size
+ by 3.7 KB.
+ See Documentation/x86/intel_cet.rst for more information.
