Linus Torvalds e774d5f1bc RISC-V updates for v7.0-rc8
Before v7.0 is released, fix a few issues with the CFI patchset,
 merged earlier in v7.0-rc, that primarily affect interfaces to
 non-kernel code:
 
 - Improve the prctl() interface for per-task indirect branch landing
   pad control to expand abbreviations and to resemble the speculation
   control prctl() interface
 
 - Expand the "LP" and "SS" abbreviations in the ptrace uapi header
   file to "branch landing pad" and "shadow stack", to improve
   readability
 
 - Fix a typo in a CFI-related macro name in the ptrace uapi header
   file
 
 - Ensure that the indirect branch tracking state and shadow stack
   state are unlocked immediately after an exec() on the new task so
   that libc subsequently can control it
 
 - While working in this area, clean up the kernel-internal,
   cross-architecture prctl() function names by expanding the
   abbreviations mentioned above
