When pointer authentication is in use, data/instruction pointers have a
number of PAC bits inserted into them. The number and position of these
bits depends on the configured TCR_ELx.TxSZ and whether tagging is
enabled. ARMv8.3 allows tagging to differ for instruction and data
pointers.
For userspace debuggers to unwind the stack and/or to follow pointer
chains, they need to be able to remove the PAC bits before attempting to
use a pointer.
This patch adds a new structure with masks describing the location of
PAC bits in instruction and data pointers, which userspace can query via
PTRACE_GETREGSET. By clearing these bits from pointers, userspace can
acquire the PAC-less versions.
This new regset is exposed when the kernel is built with (user) pointer
authentication support, and the feature is enabled. Otherwise, it is
hidden.
Note that even if the feature is available and enabled, we cannot
determine whether userspace is making use of the feature, so debuggers
need to cope with this case regardless.
