Assumption is that page is readable and on fault copy on write happens. To implement COW on shadow stack pages, clearing up W bit makes them XWR = =3D 000. This will result in wrong PTE setting which says no perms but V=3D1 and PFN field pointing to final page. Instead desired behavior is to turn it into a readable page, take an access (load/store) fault on sspush/sspop (shadow stack) and then perform COW on such pages. This way regular reads would still be allowed and not lead to COW maintaining current behavior of COW on non-shadow stack but writeable memory. On the other hand it doesn't interfere with existing COW for read-write memory. Assumption is always that _PAGE_READ must have been set and thus setting _PAGE_READ is harmless.
