Linux kernel source tree
7503197562
This patch adds basic support for pointer authentication, allowing
userspace to make use of APIAKey, APIBKey, APDAKey, APDBKey, and
APGAKey. The kernel maintains key values for each process (shared by all
threads within), which are initialised to random values at exec() time.
The ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.{APA,API,GPA,GPI} fields are exposed to userspace,
to describe that pointer authentication instructions are available and
that the kernel is managing the keys. Two new hwcaps are added for the
same reason: PACA (for address authentication) and PACG (for generic
authentication).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
