x86/cpufeatures: Add CPU feature flags for shadow stacks
The Control-Flow Enforcement Technology contains two related features, one of which is Shadow Stacks. Future patches will utilize this feature for shadow stack support in KVM, so add a CPU feature flags for Shadow Stacks (CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 7]). To protect shadow stack state from malicious modification, the registers are only accessible in supervisor mode. This implementation context-switches the registers with XSAVES. Make X86_FEATURE_SHSTK depend on XSAVES. The shadow stack feature, enumerated by the CPUID bit described above, encompasses both supervisor and userspace support for shadow stack. In near future patches, only userspace shadow stack will be enabled. In expectation of future supervisor shadow stack support, create a software CPU capability to enumerate kernel utilization of userspace shadow stack support. This user shadow stack bit should depend on the HW "shstk" capability and that logic will be implemented in future patches.
