[PATCH v6 0/6] arm64: add Armv8.3 pointer authentication enhancements

[Amit Daniel Kachhap <amit.kachhap@arm.com>]

These patch series adds support for Armv8.3 pointer authentication
enhanced features mandatory for Armv8.6 and optional for Armv8.3.
These features are,

 * Enhanced PAC generation algorithm (ARMv8.3-pauth2).
 * Generate fault when authenticate instruction fails (ARMV8.3-FPAC).

More details can be found here [1].

Changes since v5 [2]:
* Few Comments modified as suggested by Dave and Suzuki.
* Added Reviewed-by's.

Changes since v4 [3]:
* New patch "arm64: kprobe: add checks for ARMv8.3-PAuth combined instructions".
  This fixes uprobe crash with ARMv8.3-PAuth combined instructions.
* New patch "arm64: traps: Allow force_signal_inject to pass esr error code".
  This is preparatory patch for ARMV8.3-FPAC fault exception handling.
* Removed caching of bootcpu address authentication cpufeature levels in
  static variables. This was suggested by Dave and Suzuki.
* Use existing force_signal_inject function to invoke ptrauth fault
  signal as suggested by Dave.
* Commit log changes.

Changes since v3 [4]:
* Added a new patch "arm64: kprobe: clarify the comment of steppable hint instructions"
  as suggested in the last iteration.
* Removed the ptrauth fault handler from el0 compat handler as pointed
  by Dave.
* Mentioned the new feature name clearly as ARMV8.3-FPAC and ARMv8.3-pauth2
  as per ARMv8-A reference manual.
* Commit logs cleanup. 

Changes since v2 [5]:
* Dropped the patch "arm64: cpufeature: Fix the handler for address authentication"
* Added new matching function for address authentication as generic
  matching function has_cpuid_feature is specific for LOWER_SAFE
  features. This was suggested by Suzuki [3].
* Disabled probe of Authenticate ptrauth instructions as per Mark
  Brown's merged changes of whitelisting of hint instructions.

This series is based on kernel version v5.9-rc3.

Regards,
Amit
