This series introduces CET - Shadow stack

At the high level, shadow stack is:

        Allocated from a task's address space with vm_flags VM_SHSTK;
        Its PTEs must be read-only and dirty;
        Fixed sized, but the default size can be changed by sys admin.

For a forked child, the shadow stack is duplicated when the next
shadow stack access takes place.

For a pthread child, a new shadow stack is allocated.

The signal handler uses the same shadow stack as the main program.

  x86/cet: User-mode shadow stack support
  x86/cet: Introduce WRUSS instruction
  x86/cet: Signal handling for shadow stack
  x86/cet: Handle thread shadow stack
  x86/cet: ELF header parsing of Control Flow Enforcement
  x86/cet: Add arch_prctl functions for shadow stack
  mm: Prevent mprotect from changing shadow stack
  mm: Prevent mremap of shadow stack
  mm: Prevent madvise from changing shadow stack
  mm: Prevent munmap and remap_file_pages of shadow stack

Shouldn't patches like these be CC'ed to linux-api@vger.kernel.org?
