in gcc by https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2018-04/msg00534.html.
The -mibt feature flag is being removed, and the -fcf-protection
option now also defines a CET macro and causes errors when used
on non-X86 targets, while X86 targets no longer check for -mibt
and -mshstk to determine if -fcf-protection is supported. -mshstk
is now used only to determine availability of shadow stack intrinsics.
Comes with an LLVM patch (D46882).

The patch adds nocf_check target independent attribute for disabling checks that were enabled by cf-protection flag.
The attribute can be appertained to functions and function pointers.
Attribute name follows GCC's similar attribute name.

Cf-protection is a target independent flag that instructs the back-end to instrument control flow mechanisms like: Branch, Return, etc.
For example in X86 this flag will be used to instrument Indirect Branch Tracking instructions.
