[PATCH] hardening: Refresh KCFI options, add some more

Fri Apr 26 15:29:44 PDT 2024


Add some stuff that got missed along the way:

- CONFIG_UNWIND_PATCH_PAC_INTO_SCS=y so SCS vs PAC is hardware
  selectable.

- CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT=y while a default, just be sure.

- CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y for x86 and arm64. (And disable FINEIBT since
  it isn't as secure as straight KCFI.)

- CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y for userspace mapping sanity.
