Compile all functions with two ptrauth instructions: paciasp in the prologue to sign the return address, and autiasp in the epilogue to authenticate the return address. This should help protect the kernel against attacks using return-oriented programming.
CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH enables pointer auth for both userspace and the kernel.
