Boyan Karatotev e74e1d5572 kselftests/arm64: add a basic Pointer Authentication test
PAuth signs and verifies return addresses on the stack. It does so by
inserting a Pointer Authentication code (PAC) into some of the unused top
bits of an address. This is achieved by adding paciasp/autiasp instructions
at the beginning and end of a function.

This feature is partially backwards compatible with earlier versions of the
ARM architecture. To coerce the compiler into emitting fully backwards
compatible code the main file is compiled to target an earlier ARM version.
This allows the tests to check for the feature and print meaningful error
messages instead of crashing.

Add a test to verify that corrupting the return address results in a
SIGSEGV on return.

KSelfTest ARM64
===============

- These tests are arm64 specific and so not built or run but just skipped
  completely when env-variable ARCH is found to be different than 'arm64'
  and `uname -m` reports other than 'aarch64'.

- Holding true the above, ARM64 KSFT tests can be run within the KSelfTest
  framework using standard Linux top-level-makefile targets:

      $ make TARGETS=arm64 kselftest-clean
      $ make TARGETS=arm64 kselftest

      or

      $ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=arm64 \
		INSTALL_PATH=<your-installation-path> install

      or, alternatively, only specific arm64/ subtargets can be picked:

      $ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=arm64 ARM64_SUBTARGETS="tags signal" \
		INSTALL_PATH=<your-installation-path> install
