arm64: Kconfig: Make CONFIG_COMPAT a menuconfig entry

Make CONFIG_COMPAT a menuconfig entry so that we can place
CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS and CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED underneath it.

This requires the linear region to be mapped down to pages,
which may adversely affect performance in some cases.

Enabling this option prevents the kernel from accessing
user-space memory directly by pointing TTBR0_EL1 to a reserved
zeroed area and reserved ASID. The user access routines
restore the valid TTBR0_EL1 temporarily.

This option enables support for a 32-bit EL0 running under a 64-bit
kernel at EL1. AArch32-specific components such as system calls,
the user helper functions, VFP support and the ptrace interface are
handled appropriately by the kernel.
If you use a page size other than 4KB (i.e, 16KB or 64KB), please be aware
that you will only be able to execute AArch32 binaries that were compiled
with page size aligned segments.
If you want to execute 32-bit userspace applications, say Y.

Warning: disabling this option may break 32-bit user programs.
Provide kuser helpers to compat tasks. The kernel provides
helper code to userspace in read only form at a fixed location
to allow userspace to be independent of the CPU type fitted to
the system. This permits binaries to be run on ARMv4 through
to ARMv8 without modification.
See Documentation/arm/kernel_user_helpers.txt for details.
However, the fixed address nature of these helpers can be used
by ROP (return orientated programming) authors when creating
exploits.
If all of the binaries and libraries which run on your platform
are built specifically for your platform, and make no use of
these helpers, then you can turn this option off to hinder
such exploits. However, in that case, if a binary or library
relying on those helpers is run, it will not function correctly.
Say N here only if you are absolutely certain that you do not
need these helpers; otherwise, the safe option is to say Y.
