arm64: elf: Enable BTI at exec based on ELF program properties
For BTI protection to be as comprehensive as possible, it is desirable to have BTI enabled from process startup. If this is not done, the process must use mprotect() to enable BTI for each of its executable mappings, but this is painful to do in the libc startup code. It's simpler and more sound to have the kernel do it instead. To this end, detect BTI support in the executable (or ELF interpreter, as appropriate), via the NT_GNU_PROGRAM_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 note, and tweak the initial prot flags for the process' executable pages to include PROT_BTI as appropriate.
