[RFC PATCH v1 18/28] prctl: arch-agnostic prtcl for indirect branch tracking

[debug]

From: Deepak Gupta <debug@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
