 There are performance implications but they are typically mild due to hardware assistance. The `-fcf-protection=full` flag enables Intel's Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (CET) [^IntelCET], which introduces shadow stack (SHSTK) and indirect branch tracking (IBT). The `-mbranch-protection=standard` flag invokes similar protections in the AArch64. In clang `-mbranch-protection=standard` is equivalent to `-mbranch-protection=bti+pac-ret` and invokes the AArch64 Branch Target Identification (BTI) and Pointer Authentication using key A (pac-ret) [^Armclang].
 
+#### Additional Considerations
+
+Intel CET shadow stack requires Linux Kernel version 6.6 or higher and glibc version 2.39 or higher. Shadow stack support must, in addition, be enabled at run-time by setting the corresponding hardware capability tunable for glibc via the `GLIBC_TUNABLES` environmental variable [^glibc-tunables]: `export GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.cpu.hwcaps=SHSTK`.
