arm64: probes: Add GCS support to bl/blr/ret
The arm64 probe simulation doesn't currently have logic in place to deal with GCS and this results in core dumps if probes are inserted at control flow locations. Fix-up bl, blr and ret to manipulate the shadow stack as needed. While we manipulate and validate the shadow stack correctly, the hardware provides additional security by only allowing GCS operations against pages which are marked to support GCS. For writing there is gcssttr() which enforces this, but there isn't an equivalent for reading. This means that uprobe users should be aware that probing on control flow instructions which require reading the shadow stack (ex: ret) offers lower security guarantees than what is achieved without the uprobe active.
