+	  Guarded Control Stack (GCS) provides support for a separate
+	  stack with restricted access which contains only return
+	  addresses.  This can be used to harden against some attacks
+	  by comparing return address used by the program with what is
+	  stored in the GCS, and may also be used to efficiently obtain
+	  the call stack for applications such as profiling.
+
+	  The feature is detected at runtime, and will remain disabled
+	  if the system does not implement the feature.
