PAuth signs and verifies return addresses on the stack. It does so by inserting a Pointer Authentication code (PAC) into some of the unused top bits of an address. This is achieved by adding paciasp/autiasp instructions at the beginning and end of a function. This feature is partially backwards compatible with earlier versions of the ARM architecture. To coerce the compiler into emitting fully backwards compatible code the main file is compiled to target an earlier ARM version. This allows the tests to check for the feature and print meaningful error messages instead of crashing. Add a test to verify that corrupting the return address results in a SIGSEGV on return.

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.
