Luis Machado a01567f4f7 Enable ARMv8.1-m PACBTI support
This set of changes enable support for the ARMv8.1-m PACBTI extensions [1].

The goal of the PACBTI extensions is similar in scope to that of a-profile
PAC/BTI (aarch64 only), but the underlying implementation is different.

One important difference is that the pointer authentication code is stored
in a separate register, thus we don't need to mask/unmask the return address
from a function in order to produce a correct backtrace.

The patch introduces the following modifications:

- Extend the prologue analyser for 32-bit ARM to handle some instructions
from ARMv8.1-m PACBTI: pac, aut, pacg, autg and bti. Also keep track of
return address signing/authentication instructions.

- Adds code to identify object file attributes that indicate the presence of
ARMv8.1-m PACBTI (Tag_PAC_extension, Tag_BTI_extension, Tag_PACRET_use and
Tag_BTI_use).

- Adds support for DWARF pseudo-register RA_AUTH_CODE, as described in the
aadwarf32 [2].

- Extends the dwarf unwinder to track the value of RA_AUTH_CODE.

- Decorates backtraces with the "[PAC]" identifier when a frame has signed
the return address.

- Makes GDB aware of a new XML feature "org.gnu.gdb.arm.m-profile-pacbti". This
feature is not included as an XML file on GDB's side because it is only
supported for bare metal targets.

- Additional documentation.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
