Now that the kernel is built with BTI annotations enable the feature by setting the GP bit in the stage 1 translation tables. This is done based on the features supported by the boot CPU so that we do not need to rewrite the translation tables. In order to avoid potential issues on big.LITTLE systems when there are a mix of BTI and non-BTI capable CPUs in the system when we have enabled kernel mode BTI we change BTI to be a _STRICT_BOOT_CPU_FEATURE when we have kernel BTI. This will prevent any CPUs that don't support BTI being started if the boot CPU supports BTI rather than simply not using BTI as we do when supporting BTI only in userspace. The main concern is the possibility of BTYPE being preserved by a CPU that does not implement BTI when a thread is migrated to it resulting in an incorrect state which could generate an exception when the thread migrates back to a CPU that does support BTI. If we encounter practical systems which mix BTI and non-BTI CPUs we will need to revisit this implementation. Since we currently do not generate landing pads in the BPF JIT we only map the base kernel text in this way.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
