Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) provides protection against Return/Jump-Oriented Programming (ROP/JOP). It includes two sub-features: Shadow Stack(SHSTK) and Indirect Branch Tracking(IBT). This patchset is for guest CET enabling. It enclosed patches for XSS feature report and CET CPUID enumeration, XSAVE support and MSR access interface etc.
