[PATCH v7 17/32] prctl: arch-agnostic prctl for indirect branch tracking

[Deepak Gupta]

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.
