Shadow stack is supported on newer AMD processors, but the kernel implementation has not been tested on them. Prevent basic issues from showing up for normal users by disabling shadow stack on all CPUs except Intel until it has been tested. At which point the limitation should be removed.

So running the selftests on an AMD system is sufficient to drop this patch? -- Kees Cook
