Please *always* describe new ABIs in the changelog, in a precise, well-documented
way.

Why does REGSET_CET64 alias on REGSET_TLS?

Ok, could we first please make this part of the regset code more readable and
start the series with a standalone clean-up patch that changes these initializers
to something more readable:
[REGSET_CET64] = {
.core_note_type = NT_X86_CET,
.n = sizeof(struct cet_user_state) / sizeof(u64),
.size = sizeof(u64),
.align = sizeof(u64),
.active = cetregs_active,
.get = cetregs_get,
.set = cetregs_set
},
? (I'm demonstrating the cleanup based on REGSET_CET64, but this should be done on
every other entry first.)

Acronyms in comments should be in capital letters.
Also, I think I asked this before: why does "Control Flow Enforcement" abbreviate
to "CET" (which is a well-known acronym for "Central European Time"), not to CFE?
Thanks,
