What's wrong with testing (vm_flags & VM_SHSTK) here? VM_SHSTK is 0 on
non-x86.

return (vm_flags & (VM_NORESERVE | VM_SHARED | VM_WRITE)) == VM_WRITE;

Ditto.


The thought was, here all testings are done with helpers, e.g. is_data_mapping(), so creating a helper for shadow stack is more inline with the existing code. Or, maybe we can call it is_shadow_stack_mapping()? And, since we have a helper, use it in accountable_mapping() as well. Or do you have other suggestions?

Thanks,
