+@deftp Tunable glibc.tune.x86_ibt
+The @code{glibc.tune.x86_ibt=[on|off|permissive]} tunable allows the user
+to control how indirect branch tracking (IBT) should be enabled.
+@code{on} always turns on IBT regardless of whether IBT is enabled in the
+executable and its dependent shared libraries.  @code{off} always turns
+off IBT regardless of whether IBT is enabled in the executable and its
+dependent shared libraries.  @code{permissive} is the same as the default.

+The @code{glibc.tune.x86_shstk=[on|off|permissive]} tunable allows the
+user to control how shadow stack (SHSTK) should be enabled.  @code{on}
+always turns on SHSTK regardless of whether SHSTK is enabled in the
+executable and its dependent shared libraries.  @code{off} always turns
+off SHSTK regardless of whether SHSTK is enabled in the executable and
+its dependent shared libraries.  @code{permissive} turns off SHSTK when
+dlopening a legacy shared library, instead of returns an error.
