[PATCH v9 38/42] x86/cpufeatures: Enable CET CR4 bit for shadow stack

From: Rick Edgecombe
Date: Mon Jun 12 2023 - 20:19:18 EST


Setting CR4.CET is a prerequisite for utilizing any CET features, most of
which also require setting MSRs.

Kernel IBT already enables the CET CR4 bit when it detects IBT HW support
and is configured with kernel IBT. However, future patches that enable
userspace shadow stack support will need the bit set as well. So change
the logic to enable it in either case.

Clear MSR_IA32_U_CET in cet_disable() so that it can't live to see
userspace in a new kexec-ed kernel that has CR4.CET set from kernel IBT.
