This patch adds support for detecting zicfiss and zicfilp. zicfiss and
zicfilp stands for unprivleged integer spec extension for shadow stack
and branch tracking on indirect branches, respectively.

This patch looks for zicfiss and zicfilp in device tree and accordinlgy
lights up bit in cpu feature bitmap. Furthermore this patch adds detection
utility functions to return whether shadow stack or landing pads are
supported by cpu.

Hey Deepak,

I think these definitions can benefit from using a validation callback:

static int riscv_cfi_validate(const struct riscv_isa_ext_data *data,
const unsigned long *isa_bitmap)
{
if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI)
return -EINVAL;

return 0;
}

Yes this is a good idea.
I'll add that.


__RISCV_ISA_EXT_SUPERSET_VALIDATE(zicfilp, RISCV_ISA_EXT_ZICFILP,
riscv_xlinuxenvcfg_exts, riscv_cfi_validate),
__RISCV_ISA_EXT_SUPERSET_VALIDATE(zicfiss, RISCV_ISA_EXT_ZICFISS,
riscv_xlinuxenvcfg_exts, riscv_cfi_validate),

That way, ZICFISS/ZICFILP wont be enable if the kernel does not have
builtin support for them. Additionally, this solve a bug you have with
your hwprobe patch (19/26) that exposes ZICFILP/ZICFISS unconditionally
(ie, even if the kernel does not have CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI).


Yes good catch.

BTW, patch 23/26 introduce CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI but it is used in that
patch.
Thanks,

Clément
