Hi,

I've taken up this change from Andrew and made some improvements. It
also didn't apply cleanly anymore so I thought I would resend.

I know there were some discussions with Vince Weaver about having
something arch specific in perf_event_open, so it would be good to get
some more feedback on that. I'm happy to change it so that it's just
called PERF_SAMPLE_PTRAUTH, but given how arch specific the output is,
I'm not sure if that is best.

Thanks
James

Changes since V1:

  * Use weak symbols instead of #ifdefs which simplified things
  * Remove the new files as everything fits well into existing ones
  * Never allow opening the event if CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH isn't set
  * Include only the kernel side change in this set, the perf tool
    changes are here [1] which I will also rebase and resubmit
  * Rebase onto tip/perf/core (82aad7ff7ac)
