Koudai Iwahori d0436b0cda armv8: Add support of pointer authentication
When pointer authentication is enabled, some upper bits of the link
register (LR[63:VA_SIZE]) are used to store a signature. Therefore, GDB
need to remove the signature to get backtraces.
GDB has support of pointer authentication. When pointer authenticaion is
enabled, GDB requests 8-bytes mask to the target to remove the
signature. mask[63:VA_SIZE] should be all set and mask[VA_SIZE-1:0]
should be all cleared. GDB removes the signature by addr&~mask or
addr|mask.
I added a feature to provide the mask for pointer authentication.
