[PATCH v2 1/1] perf arm64: Send pointer auth masks to ring buffer

From: Andrew Kilroy <andrew.kilroy at arm.com>

Perf report cannot produce callgraphs using dwarf on arm64 where pointer
authentication is enabled.  This is because libunwind and libdw cannot
unmangle instruction pointers that have a pointer authentication code
(PAC) embedded in them.

libunwind and libdw need to be given an instruction mask which they can
use to arrive at the correct return address that does not contain the
PAC.

The bits in the return address that contain the PAC can differ by
process, so this patch adds a new sample field PERF_SAMPLE_ARCH_1
to allow the kernel to send the masks up to userspace perf.

This field can be used in a architecture specific fashion, but on
arm64, it contains the ptrauth mask information. The event will
currently fail to open on architectures other than arm64 if
PERF_SAMPLE_ARCH_1 is set. It will also fail to open on arm64 if
CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH isn't set, as the data would always be zeros.
