the patch applied cleanly on top of arm64 for-next/core

but it does not work as i expected:

executables that do not have the bti property note
set seems to get bti guarded by the kernel.

at least i see crash in _start when the dynamic
linker (which has bti marking) transfers control
to it and the start code has no bti c.

(according to strace the dynamic linker did not
remap/mprotect the main exe with bti so i assume
this is the kernel's doing)

can somebody verify that the notes are checked
on the executable too and not just on ld.so?
