Carves out space in arch specific thread struct for cfi status and shadow stack in usermode on riscv.
This patch does following
- defines a new structure cfi_status with status bit for cfi feature
- defines shadow stack pointer, base and size in cfi_status structure
- defines offsets to new member fields in thread in asm-offsets.c
- Saves and restore shadow stack pointer on trap entry (U --> S) and exit (S --> U)

We shouldn't need any of this in the entry/exit code, at least as long as the kernel itself is not using Zicfiss. ssp can keep its value in the kernel and swap it on task switches. Our entry/exit code is rather short and I'd like to keep it that way.
I kept it here because sooner or later we will need to establish kernel shadow stack. Kernel shadow stack on riscv (compared to other arches) kernel actually will be easier to support and adopt because there is already support for shadow call stack (SCS, [1]). Difference between existing shadow call stack (SCS) and `zicfiss` based kernel shadow stack would be
- In prolog instead of using `sd`, we will be inserting `sspush` to
save ret addr
- In epilog instead of using `ld` and compare, we will be inserting
`sspopchk`
So a lot underlying work and functional testing for shadow kernel stack is already carried out with SCS patches. It would be easier and faster to re-use SCS patches to support `zicfiss` based shadow stack.
Do you think that realistically, after all the patches are merged, almost all kernel configurations that enable kernel Zicfiss will also enable userspace Zicfiss and vice versa?
If not - if Zicfiss exclusively in user mode is likely to be a common configuration - then the kernel should handle that case in task switch.
If kernel Zicfiss and user Zicfiss are overwhelmingly likely to be supported together, then I agree it makes sense to handle it in the same place in entry/exit, but I think what you have is more complicated than necessary. I'm picturing something like this:

I moved the shadow stack pointer into pt_regs because it's nearly a GPR and has a meaningfully different value on every trap; this allows us to talk about the ssp at the time of a trap in kernel mode.
Saving both the sp and ssp in Lrestore_kernel_tpsp avoids adding conditional logic to Lsave_context. I believe the current code also has a bug: if the U-mode tp is, by chance or intentional exploit, equal to the thread_info address, kernel code will be executed with whatever value U-mode left in gp.
I also notice that there is no check for overflow of the shadow stack. This may be intentional, since as long as the shadow stack is at least half the size of the main kernel stack the latter will always overflow first, barring deeper corruption of the control structures or assembly code issues. I expect that the result in that case would be an infinite loop of shadow stack overflows in handle_bad_stack and do_trap_software_check with occasional visits to handle_kernel_stack_overflow.
I believe that "Save unwound kernel stack pointer in thread_info" and "Save the kernel shadow call stack pointer" are both no-ops in all cases other than ret_from_fork, since the ABI requires the C trap handler to return with the same sp and ssp it was entered with. Optimizing that would be a separate issue.

I don't have favorites here, if overwhelving opinion of community here is to take this logic into task switching and re-work this logic back into entry.S whenever shadow stack for kernel patches are posted, I can do that as well.
