Compile all functions with two ptrauth instructions: paciasp in the
prologue to sign the return address, and autiasp in the epilogue to
authenticate the return address. This should help protect the kernel
against attacks using return-oriented programming.
CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH enables pointer auth for both userspace and the
kernel.

Glad to see this being done and being proposed for mainline.
I can see why you would prefer this though have you guys experimented at
all with -msign-return-address=non-leaf as well ?
Orthogonally and just fair warning - the command lines for this are also
being revised to provide ROP and JOP protection using BTI from v8.5-a
during the GCC-9 timeframe but I suspect that's a different option.
