Assemblers will reject instructions not supported by a target architecture version, and so we must explicitly tell the assembler the latest architecture version for which we want to assemble instructions from. We've added a few AS_HAS_ARMV8_<N> definitions for this, in addition to an inconsistently named AS_HAS_PAC definition, from which arm64's top-level Makefile determines the architecture version that we intend to target, and generates the `asm-arch` variable. To make this a bit clearer and easier to maintain, this patch reworks the Makefile to determine asm-arch in a single if-else-endif chain. AS_HAS_PAC, which is defined when the assembler supports `-march=armv8.3-a`, is renamed to AS_HAS_ARMV8_3. As the logic for armv8.3-a is lifted out of the block handling pointer authentication, `asm-arch` may now be set to armv8.3-a regardless of whether support for pointer authentication is selected. This means that it will be possible to assemble armv8.3-a instructions even if we didn't intend to, but this is consistent with our handling of other architecture versions, and the compiler won't generate armv8.3-a instructions regardless. For the moment there's no need for an CONFIG_AS_HAS_ARMV8_1, as the code for LSE atomics and LDAPR use individual `.arch_extension` entries and do not require the baseline asm arch to be bumped to armv8.1-a. The other armv8.1-a features (e.g. PAN) do not require assembler support. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

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.
