Amit Daniel Kachhap 689eae42af arm64: mask PAC bits of __builtin_return_address
Functions like vmap() record how much memory has been allocated by their
callers, and callers are identified using __builtin_return_address(). Once
the kernel is using pointer-auth the return address will be signed. This
means it will not match any kernel symbol, and will vary between threads
even for the same caller.

The output of /proc/vmallocinfo in this case may look like,
0x(____ptrval____)-0x(____ptrval____)   20480 0x86e28000100e7c60 pages=4 vmalloc N0=4
0x(____ptrval____)-0x(____ptrval____)   20480 0x86e28000100e7c60 pages=4 vmalloc N0=4
0x(____ptrval____)-0x(____ptrval____)   20480 0xc5c78000100e7c60 pages=4 vmalloc N0=4

The above three 64bit values should be the same symbol name and not
different LR values.

Use the pre-processor to add logic to clear the PAC to
__builtin_return_address() callers. This patch adds a new file
asm/compiler.h and is transitively included via include/compiler_types.h on
the compiler command line so it is guaranteed to be loaded and the users of
this macro will not find a wrong version.

Helper macros ptrauth_kernel_pac_mask/ptrauth_clear_pac are created for
this purpose and added in this file. Existing macro ptrauth_user_pac_mask
moved from asm/pointer_auth.h.
