[PATCH v30 01/10] x86/cet/ibt: Add Kconfig option for Indirect Branch Tracking
From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Mon Aug 30 2021 - 14:23:35 EST
Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT) provides protection against CALL-/JMP-
oriented programming attacks. It is active when the kernel has this
feature enabled, and the processor and the application support it.
When this feature is enabled, legacy non-IBT applications continue to
work, but without IBT protection.
