Hi,

This series improves function return address protection for the arm64 kernel, by
compiling the kernel with ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication instructions (referred
ptrauth hereafter). This should help protect the kernel against attacks using
return-oriented programming.

This series is based on Linux version v5.5-rc7.

High-level changes since v3 [1] (detailed change descriptions are in individual patches):
 - Fixed some clang related compilation issues.
 - Added a new patch "arm64: cpufeature: Fix meta-capability cpufeature check"
 - Dropped the patch "arm64: kprobe: disable probe of ptrauth instruction". This will
   be sent with armv8.6 ptrauth enhanced features patch in future.
 - Several Reviewed-by and Acked-by. 
 - Several fixes suggested by Catalin.

This series do not implement few things:
 - kdump tools may need some rework to work with ptrauth. The kdump
   tools may need the ptrauth information to strip PAC bits. This will
   be sent in a separate patch.
 - Few more ptrauth generic lkdtm tests as requested by Kees Cook.
 - Generate compile time warnings if requested Kconfig feature not 
   supported by compilers.

Feedback welcome!

Thanks,
Amit Daniel
