Three architectures (x86, aarch64, riscv) have support for indirect branch
tracking feature in a very similar fashion. On a very high level, indirect
branch tracking is a CPU feature where CPU tracks branches which uses
memory operand to perform control transfer in program. As part of this
tracking on indirect branches, CPU goes in a state where it expects a
landing pad instr on target and if not found then CPU raises some fault
(architecture dependent)
x86 landing pad instr - `ENDBRANCH`
aarch64 landing pad instr - `BTI`
riscv landing instr - `lpad`
Given that three major arches have support for indirect branch tracking,
This patch makes `prctl` for indirect branch tracking arch agnostic.
To allow userspace to enable this feature for itself, following prtcls are
defined:
- PR_GET_INDIR_BR_LP_STATUS: Gets current configured status for indirect
branch tracking.
- PR_SET_INDIR_BR_LP_STATUS: Sets a configuration for indirect branch
tracking.
Following status options are allowed
- PR_INDIR_BR_LP_ENABLE: Enables indirect branch tracking on user
thread.
- PR_INDIR_BR_LP_DISABLE; Disables indirect branch tracking on user
thread.
- PR_LOCK_INDIR_BR_LP_STATUS: Locks configured status for indirect branch
tracking for user thread.
