Introduce Kconfig option X86_INTEL_BRANCH_TRACKING_USER. Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT) provides protection against CALL-/JMP- oriented programming attacks. It is active when the kernel has this feature enabled, and the processor and the application support it. When this feature is enabled, legacy non-IBT applications continue to work, but without IBT protection.
