[PATCH v1] mm: abstract shadow stack vma behind arch_is_shadow_stack_vma

From: Deepak Gupta
Date: Fri Dec 22 2023 - 18:57:15 EST


x86 has used VM_SHADOW_STACK (alias to VM_HIGH_ARCH_5) to encode shadow
stack VMA. VM_SHADOW_STACK is thus not possible on 32bit. Some arches may
need a way to encode shadow stack on 32bit and 64bit both and they may
encode this information differently in VMAs.

This patch changes checks of VM_SHADOW_STACK flag in generic code to call
to a function `arch_is_shadow_stack_vma` which will return true if arch
supports shadow stack and vma is shadow stack else stub returns false.
