[aarch64] Add support for pointer authentication B key
Armv8.3-A has another key used in pointer authentication called the B-key (other than the A-key that is already supported). In order for stack unwinders to work it is necessary to be able to identify frames that have been signed with the B-key rather than the A-key and it was felt that keeping this as an augmentation character in the CIE was the best bet. The DWARF extensions for ARM therefore propose to add a new augmentation character 'B' to the CIE augmentation string and the corresponding cfi directive ".cfi_b_key_frame". I've made the relevant changes to GAS and LD to add support for B-key unwinding, which required modifying LD to check for 'B' in the augmentation string, adding the ".cfi_b_key_frame" directive to GAS and adding a "pauth_key" field to GAS's fde_entry and cie_entry structs. The pointer authentication instructions will behave as NOPs on architectures that don't support them, and so a check for the architecture being assembled for is not necessary since there will be no behavioural difference between augmentation strings with and without the 'B' character on such architectures. 2018-12-05 Sam Tebbs <sam.tebbs@arm.com> bfd/ * elf-eh-frame.c (_bfd_elf_parse_eh_frame): Add check for 'B'. gas/ * dw2gencfi.c (struct cie_entry): Add tc_cie_entry_extras invocation.
