Alternatively, there is another compiler-defined macro _CET_ENDBR that can
be used.  We can put the following in calling.h:

#ifdef __CET__
#include <cet.h>
#else
#define _CET_ENDBR
#endif

and then use _CET_ENDBR in other files.  How is that?

In the future, in case we have kernel-mode IBT, ENDBR macros are also needed
for other assembly files.

Can we please call it IBT_ENDBR or just ENDBR. CET is a horrible name,
seeing how it is not specific.


_CET_ENDBR is from the compiler and we cannot change it.  We can do:

#define ENDBR _CET_ENDBR

How is that?

Do we really want to include compiler headers? AFAICT it's not a
built-in. Also what about clang?

This thing seems trivial enough to build our own, it's a single damn
instruction. That also means we don't have to worry about changes to
header files we don't control.


Then, what about moving what I had earlier to vdso.h?
If we don't want __i386__ either, then make it two macros.

+.macro ENDBR
+#ifdef CONFIG_X86_CET
+#ifdef __i386__
+    endbr32
+#else
+    endbr64
+#endif
+#endif
+.endm

I will make it like the following:

diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/vdso.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/vdso.h
