[PATCH v25 26/30] ELF: Introduce arch_setup_elf_property()

From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Thu Apr 15 2021 - 18:18:16 EST


An ELF file's .note.gnu.property indicates arch features supported by the
file. These features are extracted by arch_parse_elf_property() and stored
in 'arch_elf_state'.

Introduce x86 feature definitions and arch_setup_elf_property(), which
enables such features. The first use-case of this function is Shadow
Stack.

ARM64 is the other arch that has ARCH_USE_GNU_PROPERTY and arch_parse_elf_
property(). Add arch_setup_elf_property() for it.

v24:
- Change cet_setup_shstk() to shstk_setup() to reflect function name changes
relating to the splitting of shadow stack and ibt.

Shadow Stack protection is a hardware feature that detects function
return address corruption. This helps mitigate ROP attacks.
