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` arch64 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.
