This doesn't look quite right to me, since you still have to take into
account the case where CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH=y but the feature is not
available at runtime:

Yes agree with you here. However the config gaurd is saving some extra
computation for __builtin_return_address. There are some compiler
support being added in __builtin_extract_return_address to mask the PAC.
Hopefully that will improve this code. In the meantime let it be like this.

Does the extra computation matter? Isn't it just a couple of instructions?

ok sure. I will push v3 as you suggested.

Thanks,
Amit
