A new exception code is defined for GCS specific faults other than standard load/store faults, for example GCS token validation failures, add handling for this. These faults are reported to userspace as segfaults with code SEGV_CPERR (protection error), mirroring the reporting for x86 shadow stack errors. GCS faults due to memory load/store operations generate data aborts with a flag set, these will be handled separately as part of the data abort handling. Since we do not currently enable GCS for EL1 we should not get any faults there but while we're at it we wire things up there, treating any GCS fault as fatal.

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 reStructuredText 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.
