Hi,

This series improves function return address protection for the arm64 kernel, by
compiling the kernel with ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication instructions (ptrauth
referred hereafter). This should help protect the kernel against attacks using
return-oriented programming.

Patch 9 and 10 are newly added and hence sent as RFC.

This series is based on v5.4-rc2.

High-level changes since RFC v2 [1] (detailed changes are listed in patches):
 - Moved enabling, key setup and context switch to assembly, to avoid using
   the pointer auth compiler attribute which Clang does not support (thanks
   Suzuki for the initial code!).
 - Added code to restore keys after cpu resume.
 - __builtin_return_address will now mask pac bits.
 - Changed gcc compiler options to add ptrauth instructions in all functions
   and not just non-leaf functions. This may be revisited later due to 
   performance concerns.
 - Rebased onto v5.4-rc2.
 - Added Reviewed-by's.

This series do not implement few things or have known limitations:
 - ftrace function tracer does not work with this series. But after using
   the posted series [2] based on -fpatchable-function-entry, it works fine.
 - kprobes/uprobes and other tracing may need some rework with ptrauth.
 - kdump, other debug may need some rework with ptrauth.
 - Generate some randomness for ptrauth keys during kernel early booting.

Feedback welcome!

Thanks,
Amit Daniel
