a22fa321d1 KVM: arm64: Add userspace flag to enable pointer authentication
Now that the building blocks of pointer authentication are present, lets
add userspace flags KVM_ARM_VCPU_PTRAUTH_ADDRESS and
KVM_ARM_VCPU_PTRAUTH_GENERIC. These flags will enable pointer
authentication for the KVM guest on a per-vcpu basis through the ioctl
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT.

This features will allow the KVM guest to allow the handling of
pointer authentication instructions or to treat them as undefined
if not set.

Necessary documentations are added to reflect the changes done.

d0a060be57 arm64: add ptrace regsets for ptrauth key management
Add two new ptrace regsets, which can be used to request and change the
pointer authentication keys of a thread. NT_ARM_PACA_KEYS gives access
to the instruction/data address keys, and NT_ARM_PACG_KEYS to the
generic authentication key. The keys are also part of the core dump file
of the process.

The regsets are only exposed if the kernel is compiled with
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y, as the only intended use case is
checkpointing and restoring processes that are using pointer
authentication. (This can be changed later if there are other use
cases.)

fbedc599e9 arm64: docs: document pointer authentication
Now that we've added code to support pointer authentication, add some
documentation so that people can figure out if/how to use it.
