Compile all functions with two ptrauth instructions: PACIASP in the prologue to sign the return address, and AUTIASP in the epilogue to authenticate the return address (from the stack). If authentication fails, the return will cause an instruction abort to be taken, followed by an oops and killing the task. This should help protect the kernel against attacks using return-oriented programming. As ptrauth protects the return address, it can also serve as a replacement for CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR, although note that it does not protect other parts of the stack. The new instructions are in the HINT encoding space, so on a system without ptrauth they execute as NOPs. CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH now not only enables ptrauth for userspace and KVM guests, but also automatically builds the kernel with ptrauth instructions if the compiler supports it. If there is no compiler support, we do not warn that the kernel was built without ptrauth instructions. GCC 7 and 8 support the -msign-return-address option, while GCC 9 deprecates that option and replaces it with -mbranch-protection. Support both options. Clang uses an external assembler hence this patch makes sure that the correct parameters (-march=armv8.3-a) are passed down to help it recognize the ptrauth instructions. Ftrace function tracer works properly with Ptrauth only when patchable-function-entry feature is present and is ensured by the Kconfig dependency.
