[PATCH v3 1/2] arm64/crash_core: Export KERNELPACMASK in vmcoreinfo

[Amit Daniel Kachhap]

Recently arm64 linux kernel added support for Armv8.3-A Pointer
Authentication feature. If this feature is enabled in the kernel and the
hardware supports address authentication then the return addresses are
signed and stored in the stack to prevent ROP kind of attack. Kdump tool
will now dump the kernel with signed lr values in the stack.

Any user analysis tool for this kernel dump may need the kernel pac mask
information in vmcoreinfo to generate the correct return address for
stacktrace purpose as well as to resolve the symbol name.

This patch is similar to commit ec6e822d1a22d0eef ("arm64: expose user PAC
bit positions via ptrace") which exposes pac mask information via ptrace
interfaces.

The config gaurd ARM64_PTR_AUTH is removed form asm/compiler.h so macros
like ptrauth_kernel_pac_mask can be used ungaurded. This config protection
is confusing as the pointer authentication feature may be missing at
runtime even though this config is present.

Changes since v2:
* Removed CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH config guard as suggested by Will.
* A commit log change.

An implementation of this new KERNELPACMASK vmcoreinfo field used by crash
tool can be found here[1]. This change is accepted by crash utility
maintainer [2].
