[PATCH RFC/RFT 2/3] mm: helper `is_shadow_stack_vma` to check shadow stack vma
Posted by Deepak Gupta 1 month, 2 weeks ago
VM_SHADOW_STACK (alias to VM_HIGH_ARCH_5) is used to encode shadow stack
VMA on three architectures (x86 shadow stack, arm GCS and RISC-V shadow
stack). In case architecture doesn't implement shadow stack, it's VM_NONE
Introducing a helper `is_shadow_stack_vma` to determine shadow stack vma
or not.

As I noted in reply to the version of this patch in the RISC-V series
there's another test for VM_SHADOW_STACK in mm/mmap.c.

Yeah will make sure to consolidate comments from both patch series in next
version. Thanks.
