[PATCH v1 RFC Zisslpcfi 07/20] elf: ELF header parsing in GNU property for cfi state

From: Deepak Gupta
Date: Sun Feb 12 2023 - 23:54:46 EST


Binaries enabled with support for control-flow integrity will have new
instructions that may fault on cpus which dont implement cfi mechanisms.
This change adds

- stub for setting up cfi state when loading a binary. Architecture
specific implementation can choose to implement this stub and setup
cfi state for program.
- define riscv ELF flag marker for forward cfi and backward cfi in
uapi/linux/elf.h
