So that we can dynamically handle the presence of pointer authentication functionality, wire up probing code in cpufeature.c. From ARMv8.3 onwards, ID_AA64ISAR1 is no longer entirely RES0, and now has four fields describing the presence of pointer authentication functionality: * APA - address authentication present, using an architected algorithm * API - address authentication present, using an IMP DEF algorithm * GPA - generic authentication present, using an architected algorithm * GPI - generic authentication present, using an IMP DEF algorithm This patch checks for both address and generic authentication, separately. It is assumed that if all CPUs support an IMP DEF algorithm, the same algorithm is used across all CPUs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
