-An indirect CALL/JMP moves the indirect branch tracking (IBT) state machine
-to WAIT_ENDBR status until the instruction reaches an ENDBR opcode.  If the
-CALL/JMP does not reach an ENDBR opcode, the processor raises a control-
-protection fault.  WAIT_ENDBR status can be read from MSR_IA32_U_CET.
-
-WAIT_ENDBR is cleared for signal handling, and restored for sigreturn.
+When an indirect CALL/JMP instruction is executed and before it reaches
+the target, it is in 'WAIT_ENDBR' status, which can be read from
+MSR_IA32_U_CET.  The status is part of a task's status before a signal is
+raised and preserved in the signal frame.  It is restored for sigreturn.
 
 IBT state machine is described in Intel SDM Vol. 1, Sec. 18.3.
