Add two new ptrace regsets, which can be used to request and change the pointer authentication keys of a thread. NT_ARM_PACA_KEYS gives access to the instruction/data address keys, and NT_ARM_PACG_KEYS to the generic authentication key. The keys are also part of the core dump file of the process. The regsets are only exposed if the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y, as the only intended use case is checkpointing and restoring processes that are using pointer authentication. (This can be changed later if there are other use cases.)

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.
