[PATCH v3 14/37] mm: Introduce VM_SHADOW_STACK for shadow stack memory

[Rick Edgecombe]

From: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

The x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) feature includes a new
type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has some
unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function
properly.

A shadow stack PTE must be read-only and have _PAGE_DIRTY set. However,
read-only and Dirty PTEs also exist for copy-on-write (COW) pages. These
two cases are handled differently for page faults. Introduce
VM_SHADOW_STACK to track shadow stack VMAs.

v3:
 - Drop arch specific change in arch_vma_name(). The memory can show as
   anonymous (Kirill)
 - Change CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SHADOW_STACK to CONFIG_X86_USER_SHADOW_STACK
   in show_smap_vma_flags() (Boris)
