Shadow stack provides protection for applications against function return
address corruption. It is active when the processor supports it, the
kernel has CONFIG_X86_SHADOW_STACK enabled, and the application is built
for the feature. This is only implemented for the 64-bit kernel. When it
is enabled, legacy non-shadow stack applications continue to work, but
without protection.
Since there is another feature that utilizes CET (Kernel IBT) that will
share implementation with shadow stacks, create CONFIG_CET to signify
that at least one CET feature is configured.

The minimum version of binutils for kernel build is currently 2.23 and
it doesn't support GFNI.
So, it fails to build the aria-avx if the old binutils is used.
The code using GFNI is an optional part of aria-avx.
So, it disables GFNI part in it when the old binutils is used.
In order to check whether the using binutils is supporting GFNI or not,
AS_GFNI is added.
Fixes: ba3579e6e45c ("crypto: aria-avx - add AES-NI/AVX/x86_64/GFNI assembler implementation of aria cipher")

TPAUSE instructs the processor to enter an implementation-dependent
optimized state. The instruction execution wakes up when the time-stamp
counter reaches or exceeds the implicit EDX:EAX 64-bit input value.
The instruction execution also wakes up due to the expiration of
the operating system time-limit or by an external interrupt
or exceptions such as a debug exception or a machine check exception.
TPAUSE offers a choice of two lower power states:
1. Light-weight power/performance optimized state C0.1
2. Improved power/performance optimized state C0.2
This way, it can save power with low wake-up latency in comparison to
spinloop based delay. The selection between the two is governed by the
input register.
TPAUSE is available on processors with X86_FEATURE_WAITPKG.

Now that the kernel specifies binutils 2.23 as the minimum version, we
can remove ifdefs for AVX2 and ADX throughout.

We raise the minimal supported binutils version from time to time.
The last bump was commit 1fb12b35e5ff ("kbuild: Raise the minimum
required binutils version to 2.21").
We have these as-instr tests because binutils 2.21 does not support
them.
When we bump the binutils version next time, this will be a good
hint to find out which one can be dropped.
As for the Clang/LLVM builds, we require very new LLVM version,
so the LLVM integrated assembler supports all of them.

Doing this probing inside of the Makefiles means we have a maze of
ifdefs inside the source code and child Makefiles that need to make
proper decisions on this too. Instead, we do it at Kconfig time, like
many other compiler and assembler options, which allows us to set up the
dependencies normally for full compilation units. In the process, the
ADX test changes to use %eax instead of %r10 so that it's valid in both
32-bit and 64-bit mode.
