Recently arm64 linux kernel added support for Armv8.3-A Pointer Authentication feature. If this feature is enabled in the kernel and the hardware supports address authentication then the return addresses are signed and stored in the stack to prevent ROP kind of attack. Kdump tool will now dump the kernel with signed lr values in the stack. Any user analysis tool for this kernel dump may need the kernel pac mask information in vmcoreinfo to generate the correct return address for stacktrace purpose as well as to resolve the symbol name. This patch is similar to commit ec6e822d ("arm64: expose user PAC bit positions via ptrace") which exposes pac mask information via ptrace interfaces. The config gaurd ARM64_PTR_AUTH is removed form asm/compiler.h so macros like ptrauth_kernel_pac_mask can be used ungaurded. This config protection is confusing as the pointer authentication feature may be missing at runtime even though this config is present.
