This patch implements support for ARMv8.5-A Branch Target Identification
(BTI), which is a control flow integrity protection feature introduced
as part of the ARMv8.5-A extensions.

The series is based on v5.4-rc2.

A branch for this series is available in Git [3].

This series supersedes the previous v2 posting [1], and also
incorporates my proposed ELF GNU property parsing implementation.  (See
[2] for the ABI spec describing NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0).

Changes:

 * Minor cleanups / nitpick fixes only.

   Since this is an interim update so that Mark Brown can take over
   development of the series, I haven't fully retested.  The series
   builds with defconfig.

   There are some outstanding discussion points: see notes in the
   invidual patches, particularly on patch 5.


Notes:

 * No documentation yet.  We could do with some being written before
   this series gets merged.

 * GCC 9 can compile backwards-compatible BTI-enabled code with
   -mbranch-protection=bti or -mbranch-protection=standard.

 * Binutils trunk supports the new ELF note, but this wasn't in a release
   the last time I posted this series.  (The situation _might_ have changed
   in the meantime...)

   Creation of a BTI-enabled binary requires _everything_ linked in to
   be BTI-enabled.  For now ld --force-bti can be used to override this,
   but some things may break until the required C library support is in
   place.

   There is no straightforward way to mark a .s file as BTI-enabled:
   scraping the output from gcc -S works as a quick hack for now.

   readelf -n can be used to examing the program properties in an ELF
   file.

 * Runtime mmap() and mprotect() can be used to enable BTI on a
   page-by-page basis using the new PROT_BTI, but the code in the
   affected pages still needs to be written or compiled to contain the
   appopriate BTI landing pads.
