shstk_setup() and shstk_disable() are not called outside of shstk.c, so
they can be removed from this header entirely.

I always get uncomfortable when I see these kinds of generalized helper
functions for touching cpu bits, etc. It just begs for future attacker
abuse to muck with arbitrary bits -- even marked inline there is a risk
the compiler will ignore that in some circumstances (not as currently
used in the code, but I'm imagining future changes leading to such a
condition). Will you humor me and change this to a macro instead? That'll
force it always inline (even __always_inline isn't always inline):

/* Helper that can never get accidentally un-inlined. */
#define set_clr_bits_msrl(msr, set, clear) do { \
u64 __val, __new_val; \
\
rdmsrl(msr, __val); \
__new_val = (__val & ~(clear)) | (set); \
\
if (__new_val != __val) \
wrmsrl(msr, __new_val); \
} while (0)

This is UAPI, so the BIT() macro isn't available, but since this is
unsigned long, please use the form: (1ULL << 0) etc...

"feature" vs "features" here is confusing. Should these helpers enforce
the single-bit-set requirements? If so, please switch to a bit number
instead of a mask. If not, please rename these to
"features_{enabled,set,clr}", and fix "features_enabled" to check them
all:
return (current->thread.features & features) == features;

WARN_ON + clamp on "size" here, or perhaps move the bounds check from
shstk_setup() into here?

This will use the mmap base address offset randomization, I guess?

Only called local. Make static?

If features is always going to be tied to shstk, why not put them in the
shstk struct?

Also, shouldn't this also be called from arch_setup_new_exec() instead
of the open-coded wipe of features there?

I feel like base and size should be zeroed here?
