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 v3 [2]:
* 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 [3]:
* 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 v5.8-rc4.
Regards,
Amit
