From: Deepak Gupta <[email protected]>

This patch creates a config for shadow stack support and landing pad instr
support. Shadow stack support and landing instr support can be enabled by
selecting `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI`. Selecting `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI` wires
up path to enumerate CPU support and if cpu support exists, kernel will
support cpu assisted user mode cfi.

If CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is selected, select `ARCH_USES_HIGH_VMA_FLAGS`,
`ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK` and DYNAMIC_SIGFRAME for riscv.

+         Control flow integrity is provided by implementing shadow stack for
+         backward edge and indirect branch tracking for forward edge in 
program.
+         Shadow stack protection is a hardware feature that detects function
+         return address corruption. This helps mitigate ROP attacks.
+         Indirect branch tracking enforces that all indirect branches must land
+         on a landing pad instruction else CPU will fault. This mitigates 
against
+         JOP / COP attacks. Applications must be enabled to use it, and old 
user-
